Tall Tales Turner seems to be the originator of the story, although eons ago, there was someone who claimed to have heard during a Supremes convention an acetate of Flo singing the song. I always...

Okay Sup, let's not get carried away. Had Flo been noticeably drunk she either would've been dismissed- as she was- or Motown would've just had to do damage control. There would not have been any...

I didn't realize there are 2 different vocals for "Who's Loving You", but then I never really play the mono album. I'll have to check it out.

Off the top of my head, the vocal to "Love Is In Our...

I think there's like 20 songs cut that could've gone on the PK album, so any cohesiveness would have to come from the song selections as opposed to what all was cut at the time. There are a lot of...

I'm not hearing any resemblance between "Sign" and "Aquarius" other than they both have some astrology tie in. One song is about planets aligning and world peace, the other is about someone not...

This is a great idea! Can't argue against it.

I've always wondered that too. Thought the "Paper" title was so intriguing. I wonder if maybe there was a tie in between astrology, horoscopes and the weather report? A storyline where the singer is...

Yeah, the medleys are annoying. I think two full version Supremes songs would've done well to appease anyone in the crowd who needed a Diana Supremes fix.

True, but that's about it where the same ole same ole criticism applies. This was mostly a fresh set post Supremes.

Thanks Thom!! That's the song I couldn't remember. I've always thought a studio version of "Happy" for Diana made so much sense. Fingers still crossed that there's one waiting for inclusion on a...

Yeah, I think "Tears Left Over" had the potential to be a big hit with a final mix. The PK album might have ended up their best album had it been released when scheduled. I think it was shelved when...

Diana does a great "Tramp" but yeah, could've done without it. And I agree about that note in "Porgy", that's one of the reasons I love it so.

That's very interesting Reese! I wonder what that's all about?

Yes, love that one too. I reckon this one is screaming for an expanded edition.

The ones on the Supremes version is the Blackberries. I wouldn't say the Starlettes sound better, but they are definitely the stars of this version. They sound great.

I love it too Ollie. I used to really love it and then at some point it was reduced to "like" level. I think the version I originally enjoyed was a different mix to the one I ended up playing the...

Never cared for "Sloopy". For years I liked "Memories", probably because Mary was singing lead. I have since cooled off of it, mostly because Mary is singing lead.:p That arrangement did not suit her...

Agreed. Assertive and sassy seems to be the point of the song. Diana never did pull off sassy very well, which was one of Flo's strong points. Diana was certainly capable of doing assertive, so not...

HA!! Me too Floy!! It took me YEARS to figure out it was horns. Way back in the Yahoo Groups (aka Yahoo Clubs) days, someone told me that the mono version had backing vocals. I didn't get a copy of...

Here's one that doesn't get much discussion around here, Diana's "Caesar's Palace" lp from 1974. It's always been one I enjoy a lot. The two songs I play the most are "Big Mabel Murphy" and "I Loves...

Here's one of my favs from the Promises Kept sessions. I think it would've been a highlight of the album. Anyone else a fan?

Okay, aside from the fact that I think Florence was a better fit for this song, I really love this cover. Again, aside from replacing Diana with Flo, the only other change I might consider making is...

Had the ladies done this song alone, I think I would like it. This dude though? No. Just no Sans.;)

But how interesting for this cut to be covered.

I agree about the Farewell set list. Don't know if it was the same set every night for the last engagement. Would be cool to learn what songs didn't make the final album. I think at the end of the...

That's the thing though, Ollie. If done right, there wouldn't need to be complications. A tour is out of the question at this point. Maybe a do over might have worked around 2005-2007, but I really...
