The entire lp is very good. He has a great voice and a real feel for retro r&b.

Speaking entirely from outside the inside, I believe we all forget sometimes that recorded music is a business and like most business there are contracts that must be adhered to. Even the...

Yes, sadly 'Results' was not a chart success here in the USA, and that's our/their loss. It's a WONDERFUL lp that I still spin to this day; PSB managed a perfect cross between cool and camp and...

The mere mention of RT's name causes some of SD's posters to skid into derangement, BUT ... I post this lovely song anyway.

The last full sentence is everything. I never cease to be amazed of the selfishness of some who claim to be 'fans'. But that's just me.

Yes, an utterly perfect and hit-ready single. But, the market was not really looking for performers of Diana's age.

And Payne really sounds great, MEd! She really has a flair for true jazz singing.

Sounds great, Reese - here's The Second Disc's take on these releases -

The songbook I would love to hear Diana record would be Stevie Wonder. Second, Smokey.

Taraborelli was scathing about pretty much everything in CHMR. So much so that he felt the need to revise the book [[as we all know ...)

I largely agree but add a caveat - I don't think that Diana really wanted a Cher - Tina resurgence or the sort of life-sacrifice that would have entailed. And as we have very frequently surmised, I...

Interesting, but of course heartbreaking. Always a great song and performance.

Yes, though I never watched the show I do recall seeing Carroll tell the story of approaching Spelling, saying 'I want to be the first Black b!t&h on network TV".

Do we know who was the designer for these? And - can you tell if the costumes have sequins, crystals, or both? The effect is like shooting stars!

They are utterly gorgeous outfits. Both color versions are superb. I wonder if Mary had any of these in her collection?

Burned in a fire pit?? Was / is this ex a serial killer? :o

Concur. This is one of the best 'undiscovered' interviews ever. Thanks so much, JAAP!

I've always liked NMWSYA, sitar and all. I would say that it's an entirely pop-oriented single so that may turn some listeners off. I love the overall 'brightness' of the record. It's always struck...

These lists and polls are always fungible; it's nice to see Petula, Dusty and Lesley get higher recognition.

I like this one. The contemporized arrangement is a nice balance of funk and disco and Thelma gives a great vocal with innovative phrasing. Nice find!

That Voice. I don't care much for the production or instrumentation, but ... That Voice. Diana had a bit of a history with 'For Once'. I remember her singing the song on the Danny Thomas episode. In...

What a wonderful experience! Years ago [[I forget which tour ...) Diana singled me out [[and, wisely, did NOT ask me to sing ...) during the finale of ROAT and even offered a cheek to kiss at the...

Agreed. And I love Diana's vocal on TMH as well.

Tina did great, all things considered, on the '08 final tour, and the audiences were rapturous, but it was indeed a necessarily lower-energy show. Tina sounded great and, noticeable to vintage fans,...
