This was a time in Cindy's life where she was financially strained so buying a new dress probably wasn't in her expenses. And for a event of this magnitude she probably didn't have something that was...
Has anyone ever confirmed where this supposed dress code came from? I've heard it mentioned several times, but no one has ever said who came up with it. Was this something one of the producers said?...
Yes, she wore the black dress that she wore on The Black Stage when she performed "You Danced My Heart Around The Stars." Cindy wore a simple black dress too. I always thought the white dress she...
Plus for a least a solid decade after The Supremes disbanded, she continued to wear Supremes gowns and even had her background singers wear them too. Sometimes all three would match like in the photo...
I can't remember where I heard/read it, but Diana was a bit uneasy about participating because so many from the old Motown days would be there and she knew many of them were not particularly fond of...
This part of the story has always been unclear and it's never been written/discussed other than Suzanne explaining in the Making Of video.
Motown 25 gets sold to NBC, Suzanne starts lining up...
I think there is a mistake on DFTMC for this. The track was cut in Detroit with the Funk Brothers on June 13, 1969 and I believe it was intended for Junior Walker. All of the other recording info is...
Yes, they did. The session was in Chicago so they along with James Jamerson, Pistol Allen, Johnny Griffin and Robert White went there to do it along it. They recorded several other songs for Jackie....
I will never understand why Mary for the longest time included her background singers in her publicity photos. Even well into the early 2000s she had them included. It was a big mistake on her part...
I thought they were called the Golden Sunshines.
It's only the Supremes on Sam Cooke. The Andantes were added to several tracks on Country Western & Pop like "Baby Doll," but not every track.
It is just Mary and Flo on "Shake."
"Whisper You Love Me Boy" is a double tracked background - two sets of vocals from Mary and Flo which is making it sound like there are other voices.
This is what I don't get about Gordy. He loved "Love Child," but apparently hated "Stoned Love." One is a song about a girl born out of wedlock afraid of repeating the same mistake and the other is...
I agree. Even though there are things I wish were different about "Your Wonderful Sweet Sweet Love" which could have helped its charting, I always felt it was a better song than "Automatically...
"If You Let Me" is a standout track for me that could have done really well as a single, but I doubt Motown would have released a single with Lawrence on lead.
"It's The Way Nature Planned It" is...
Yes! Her vocal isn't bad on the single, just too laid back for the track. But when they did the song on Soul Train and then the Bob Hope Special - WOAH! Jean soars. I would love to hear the mix they...
I would assume by this point she at least had to have had a clue into what Gordy wanted and in her effort to please him so much she went along, but it wouldn't surprise me if she gave him ideas. I'm...
Everyone has stated solid points about this. There's no denying Diana's talent and the star quality she possesses and the certain "it" factor that set her apart from others, but the constant pushing...
This was Berry's pet project for Diana. He was blinded by ambition on this one, not thinking or seeing clearly on the demand, need, or want for something like this. I understand what he was...
Honestly, I couldn't name you one film he was in. Regardless if the films were big hits, he's not remembered for them. And his worth came from his parents - I highly doubt he built it up on his own.
Evan sounds like just about every other guy out there today trying to make a break in the industry. He doesn't have that uniqueness to his voice that set his mother apart from the crowd.
I...
I think I'm in the minority that actually prefers "Gonna Be My Time" over "One Night Only." The Dreams' version sounds a true authentic disco song and it plays into the narrative of each girl's...
The stage show was built to be cinematic and fast-moving. Sets would fly in and out, incredibly fast costume changes, songs blending right into the next, etc. I think the stage version was better at...
The show wouldn't have worked if Holliday wasn't believable in the role, but her acting wasn't her strong point and the YouTube videos of the original cast prove it. I've read some who saw the show...
The stage show is similar in that the deterioration of the group happens toward the end of Act One and fast, but again, there are elements in the stage show that weren't used in the film that should...
