Having two giant disco records in a row might have hindered Diana's long term singing trajectory, dooming her to discoville.

Also there is an added element of believability of the record coming...

she never got around to hanging Tracee's giant thumbprint that Tracee gave her as a house warming.

Aha ! I might've said most of this too, fifty years ago , ten years ago , yesterday.


But now let's think about the title LOVE HANGOVER and what Diana Ross brings to the subject that no other...

I think we're on the same track. And only by thinking of it in this way [her percentage for its success] have I come around to thinking of her importance this way.

except Diana Ross spends more time being distracted by her fidgeting with her enhancement devices than performing.

View Tony Orlando's final concert . He doesn't sound thirty nor is he...

As a #1 record, there's no denying LOVE HANGOVER is one of Diana's recording career pinnacles.

Have the channel preset in the car.
imo Smokey is the perfect choice as the voice of the era. Great name recognition [everyone knows who "Smokey' is] and he represents not only his own career...

Wow had no idea the whistle had become such a thing regarding this song.

Have I ever given its presence on the record much thought?

Certainly contrived and at odds with the sentiments .......

good job folks !!:)

new to me, with apologies if this is old news

OK.

I'll word it another way, were there any other women at Motown that weren't sleeping with their bosses, that had longer contracts than Mary Wilson?

Glad to have this extra take on it.

What it points out to me is how excellent The Supremes sound in their supporting role no matter who leads. They put the Andantes to shame here!

Good for you mindful to wade through the process to give it a listen!:cool: Wish it could be a more direct link.

Scott says only good things including the two became friends during this time...
