Truth, LoveSupreme, still, 41 years on.
Coming on 60 years of Ross bliss now, but if I have to list my Ross Go To's over the decades:
Supremes:
Where did Our Love Go
Come See About Me
You Can't Hurry Love
You Keep Me Hangin' On...
Fun way to revisit classic Motown drum intros! Thanks for all the links, Gary.
My favorites are:
Nowhere To Run - definitely the favorite - always gets me excited
I Heard It through the Grapevine...
Loved reading this, Boogie.
I have to apologize to all of you. My reply to spreadingloves post [#8] was not well-thought out itself, to say the very least.:[[ I liked his thoughts on the subject of this thread, except for the...
I like it! I haven't heard this song sung this way and it's a very nice change.
I like Boy Toy because 1. It's so very Girl Groups, a genre where it's all about the boy.
and 2. It totally objectifies males.
You're absolutely right, Boogie, but in my case, it is 60 years of exposure.
I love having both versions, too. Thank you, George Solomon & company! I will need to listen to the EE to see if I have a preference. Do you?
I love that Jule Styne worked with the group in the...
Dislike => Like: I Want a Guy - This was one I hated from the beginning, but I do like the EE version with just Diana because it's like listening to her first solo recording.
Meh => Like: I've...
I like the album and I'm personally glad it was not shelved. Among the group's specialty albums, imo, it is second only to Sing Rodgers & Hart in conception and production. I love how Diana Ross had...
Lol. Not so funny is that there may be someone[s] here who is[are] probably "just a bit" disappointed. :cool::rolleyes:
Good points, sup_fan, that I mostly agree on. I think of the duets albums as specialty albums so my expectations wouldn't be on the order of those magnificent singles You Can't Hurry Love, I Hear a...
I thought Why Must We Fall In Love was the only choice for a single from the album, with For Better or Worse a good B-side, but you're right, Stubborn Kind of Fellow would have been a very good...
Supremes movie: Where Did Our Love Go
Diana Ross movie: No Mountain High Enough [or Reach Out and Touch]
70's Supremes documentary: This Is the Story
;) You just had to, huh, Boogie :rolleyes:
Thank you, lockhartgary :) Not taking care of my albums and their album covers is one of my biggest regrets.
Lol. Yes, you may, and thank you. :) I agree that Bruce Springsteen's vocal was a bit melodramatic and jarring, especially after Dionne Warwick's and Billy Joel's, two of my favorite vocals that...
Lol. The Young Folks actually got played on an LA Top Forty station and I remember the DJ saying it was an improvement over the last single NMWSYA. I had to agree with him back then, but now [almost...
Did Luther Vandross ever record Stop!? [In the Name of Love, not Stop to Love] Lamont is fine here but I can totally hear Luther on it.
Agree! Some here didn't like the front cover, but I thought it was simple & classy. The back cover was fun and a classic!
Best back covers: More Hits & Love Child. DR 76 & The Boss. NW & Touch [loved Elton John's liner notes].
You're right about GH 1&2 inside cover. Carol Channing liner notes?! Why not Berry Gordy,...
Yes, about Love Child! Three girlfriends there for each other on a fire escape. Why blue? I always liked this album's front & back covers.
Re: Talk of the Town. I miss my vinyl albums, so I'll...
I really like the Sing HDH cover. At first, I was thrown by the black & white photo, but the image and pose were striking and seemed contemporary and cool compared to most album covers then. To me...
Lol. It does look like a strait jacket. That Yves Saint Laurent is pure evil!
