MSC were a wonderful live blend...my favorite...anything with Cindy singing background is much smoother than the other ladies...and I am one for smooth..no one louder, sharper, over ad libing or...
Love CW&P....it is the only one of 2 DR period LPs in my top 5...the other is WDOLG?...it is a much more RnB LP than Country....the title should have been printed Country-Western and Pop...its...
Mary did I WILL SURVIVE as a slow torch ballard for years...I liked it...I tend to like the quiet sultry Mary a lot....you can keep the Tina- esque stuff like Green River, Brown Sugar and Doctor...
I believe there is a thread with a great explanation of this...the release almost got totally cancelled....it was a labor of love and a marathon last minute attempt by the producers [[George...
Diana Ross was the one I listened to....her voice, approach and appeal took the group to the top.
Mary Wilson was the one I watched....I was in love with her the minute she came down the platform in...
UP THE LADDER, STONED LOVE and NATHAN JONES sounded very compressed on the LPS...the singles really POPPED with much more energy....my first Supremes LP was the big blue hits 2 record...
they repeated both Love is Here and The Happening on Vol. 3...I would have went with Will This Be The Day and Sunny Boy.
the '78 LP needed those 4 additional UK tracks...and skip that horrible mix of Driving Wheel and give us the LP version.
great gowns on this trip...
my fav has always been the way Mary sang SOMEDAY WE'LL BE TOGETHER...
Stoned Love, Reflections, You Keep Me Hanging On. My World is Empty...all good!
never cared for BIMAA or YCHL medley....but...
did I miss something somewhere along the line about Cindy receiving royalty payments? I thought she signed away everything for a lump sum a long time ago? if not, exactly what recordings is she being...
If there are 10 other records out that week that sell more than yours does...you are peaking at 11. Nathan Jones was a great record....thankfully the UK charts were kinder to the Jean Terrell era...
the entire music industry has changed....saw an interview with HEART yesterday...Ann Wilson called it "unrecognizable"....Digital download capability has crippled the industry. If there's one thing I...
I have a DJ 12" Foxton Whores issue of Glady's HELP ME MAKE IT THRU THE NIGHT...doesn't appear to be too common...
other than MEET [[which I got a stools 80's copy of) Sam Cooke was the last LP I needed to complete my Supremes collection...when I became a fan around the time of Love Child/TCB, the LPS with the...
The Supremes with Diana would have been a waste...it would still be a platform for Diana Ross...we already had Sullivan and Hollywood Palace for that.
I can see all of the 70's line ups except MSS...
I had just become a big fan right before Love Child came out...I got the big blue 2 LP set...I knew about 4 songs...Baby Love, Stop!, YKMHO and the Happening b/c it was in a used box of singles my...
that was a SUPERSTAR performance...at first Scherrie looks ready to kill...Mary looks concerned and surprised, and Cindy looks like she was graced with instant acceptance of something that was out of...
here are my picks....
DMF...Eight Days A Week...[[Shindig or Hallabaloo?)
DMC...tie...Forever Came Today...or Impossible Dream both Sullivan
JMC...Ladder from Sullivan
JML...I Guess I'll Miss...
well...the groups name carries a lot of weight and is world recognizable....[[same for Supremes)
where, and how often would these replacement performers be performing without the tie in to the...
I loved side one of the Reflections LP....and the cover montage was a must have for a new in late '68 fan like me....Motown almost always put the 2-3 singles on the A side...I was a A side guy...
I...
Jean's voice was great...on the right material....there was something heavenly about the Frank Wilson material...and the lighter Smokey stuff fit her well too...but I don't think dance music would...
I remember saying WHAT???? another new girl??? ...and a big yawn....here we go again...I became a fan in '68 right before TCB...so Cindy was my fav group soprano...case closed...I felt she always...
