Correct all around, Kenneth! The second Sylvester Blue Thumb lp was 'Bazaar' [[as in... Harpers) and you are correct that the 2 lps were released on a Hip-O disc a minute ago. Sorry you missed it!...

Well ... for me, a gay man here in The States, the worst thing Gladys did was to join the LDS homophobic cult. Wonderful singer, but ... waterboarding-the-gay out of teens is were I jump ship.

I know everything about this recording :o. Indeed the first Sylvester lp, and you can search Wiki or any other music reference guide of your choice for lots of information. I still have my original...

Cavett was always interested more in higher culture, and he was excellent with the right type of guest. He did his best here with three rather inarticulate women who had no interest in each other and...

I, too, found the casting-off of Lynda to be of particular, rather poor sport. If there had been any chemistry or support from the other members a quick mention of Lynda being the latest addition to...

Certainly interesting. There seems to be no chemistry and lots of submerged friction between the three members. All three come off as quite inarticulate as well, or at least having little or no...

I also wish there were film of that performance. I did indeed read the bio; good, perhaps not great, but indispenable to fans, though!

Hi, Reese. Yet another moment for me to re-live the transcendent moments that were those Labelle reunion concerts. Be well!

I'd have to pick [had to pick!) Pressure Cookin' as the 'best': songwriting, performance, production and political content make the lp an utter classic.

Labelle, hands down. The solo recordings have good material here and there, and the first PI lp is a classic, but other than that a lot of sub-par material and a lot [[a lot) of over-doing.

Sounds great! I will -

That it is! My fave is Move Me No Mountain, but really I love the entire lp. I still have my vinyl copy!

Does indeed sound interesting; the NY Times gave it a very favorable review today.

That's lovely to see. Though vocally imperfect, by any logical vector Diana's UK tour is a smash hit, and the lady and her audiences are having a great time.

I've received my copy and I am semi-delirious! SO happy to have this expertly performed and produced lp finally on an affordable CD. Definitely worth it to LU fans. The 'semi' has to do with the...

Glad to hear of another appreciator of Sylvester and this, for him, adventurous lp. It holds up so well!

I was among the ... surprised, and disappointed ... when the lp came out, expecting it to be full nrg disco. But I did love Sylvester's singing so it did some turntable time for a while. I do...

I have to agree. 'Survive' is fun, means a lot to Diana personally, and the audience certain is accepting of it, but I would be all in for replacing it with the joyous 'If The World Just Danced'.

I loved [[and still love) Neutron Dance! A real dance-floor filler in its day. The word 'neutron' was used as a metaphor for positive energy in the face of negative life experiences.

Yup, our girl did it again! A great time to be a fan of Miss Diana Ross! I'm attending the Radio City NYC show in September -

That's great to hear, Phil - glad you had a good time. Great professional reviews are fun to read but I am always more trustworthy of fan-attendees! Best to you

I experienced Ella Fitzgerald in her mid-60's barking her way through a JVC Jazz Festival concert at Carnegie Hall and we loved her. I attended a Nina Simone performance at The Blue Note when she was...

I'll comment more fully in a minute, but yes, an interesting topic, and Stevie did indeed continue to create great music in the 80's. An imperfect but worthy of revisiting era.

Kinda, sorta overlooked at the time [[probably due to the swerve from disco to smooth jazz/quiet storm) this has become a favorite, and perhaps the favorite lp from this wonderful singer. Here's the...

Good find, Eddie! Barbara Mc is always welcomed here!
