From start to the sad finish for me........

Marvin brilliantly embraced so many different facets of music that there isn't a period that lacks interest for me.

Daviddh, where is the expanded edition mentioned please?

This sounds like a hit to me in the UK.

I hadn't picked up on the expanded release of Thank You. Is there any information about it please?

I think I read somewhere that Nile Rogers is in the UK around the time of Diana's tour. What a crowd pleaser it would be if he joined her on stage at Glastonbury or at the O2 Arena for Upside Down or...

I think Tomorrow is a good choice. It’s upbeat, catchy and would enable Diana to engage with audiences with the chorus. I can visualise her on stage pointing to members of the audience when singing...

From someone in the UK, Diana Ross' tour topped by the legend slot at Glastonbury really underlines hers and Motown's enduring popularity here.

This gave me a lump in my throat and "damp eyes". A masterpiece that will carry on through time, especially poignant given the current atrocities in our world.

Lockhartgary, thanks so much for...

Really enjoyed this. I still find it hard to understand how unsuccessful Chain Reaction was in the USA when it was "massive" in the UK. It is still hugely popular to this day at events.

I'd love...

I haven't played my copy for a while but I remember Going To A Go-Go has a mixing problem where there are some aspects slightly out of synch. I think it's a slight delay on the backing vocal sections...

Another view, perhaps Baby It's Love should have been held back for Diana & Marvin. I can imagine a nice groove between them on the song, especially if they managed to record it together!

This is an interesting thread.

My view is that the album would have benefited by not including the Beatles' songs. Surely something original was available at the time for Diana to record?

My...

Excellent, I really enjoyed seeing the patterns emerging.

At one of the clubs I frequented "in my youth", the DJ would use Love Hangover as the final song in a series of slow "smoochy songs" where the fast section broke up the smooches and the dance floor...

Seven Rooms Of Gloom - Four Tops
Friend To Friend - Diana Ross
Keep On Lovin' Me Honey - Marvin & Tammi
The Onion Song - Marvin & Tammi
[[I'm A) Road Runner - Junior Walker & The All Stars

Brenda Holloway’s We’ll Keep On Rolling but with a Funk Brother instrumental backing.

I can still remember the "shock" of hearing Lover Hangover for the first time. I was totally amazed how Diana delivered a performance that was nothing like anything from the past. A superb album...

Just A Little Love - Marvin Gaye & Four Tops
Dark Side Of The World - Diana Ross & Marvin Gaye
That'll Be The Day - Temptations & Marvin Gaye and Kim Weston
Give A Little Love - Marvin Gaye and...

The backing track doesn't sound like the Funk Brothers to me, I might be wrong though.

Fortunately, this isn't the case in the UK. Not Over You Yet was very successful in the Top 40 here and songs from her latest album have been played many times, especially on Radio 2.

Blowing In The Wind - Stevie Wonder

Hello from another UK member :)

Oh, I didn't know it was about an hour. I had read that it was about 30 minutes. That's much better for a decent selection of songs :)

Although I will not be attending, I can't wait to see the event on TV. Diana Ross will certainly have trouble selecting a limited number of songs given the enduring popularity of her entire career's...

Completely agree!

An interesting list which, for someone in the UK, it's very easy to understand the top 10. I also found it very interesting that there are two songs in the list from Diana's latest Thank You album. I...

I think the chap is an ex footballer called Ian Wright.
