    He might have been a little tender in years being only sixteen at the time lol.
    A little older, and he would have made a fabulous addition to the group. I love his version of “WDOLG”. :D

    I would imagine when you have the owner of a record company in your corner all the way, it would inspire you to go that extra mile. Flo and Mary never experienced that, making it impossible to gage...

    I think another dance hit at that point would have done her career the power of good, with no reason to relinquish her trademark ballads because of it.

    So are you saying more than one dance hit [[LH) would have been perceived as a threat to her level of respectability and legacy around that time. If so, they might have been plunged into troubled...

    Sadly for her that doesn’t seem to have been the case as they might have been able to offer help. We only have others testimony as to how her personality changed after the rape.

    Perhaps if BG had taken just a little more interest in Mary’s potential as opposed to being totally focussed on Diana alone she might have felt a little more motivated.

    Diana commenting that Flo was her own worst enemy revealed a complete lack of understanding of someone suffering mental health problems. I would hope that she has since revised that opinion...

    As long as it doesn’t get to be a habit lol.
    Although for various reasons not commercially successful, MS&S remains a slick and sophisticated album that still sounds contemporary today.

    Not a criticism by any means, but i think Diana has always been totally immersed in her own family to have spent much time grieving over Mary Wilson. The two women had not been friends for many...

    I disagree. I love the album, but don’t hear any obvious hit singles. “Gettin’ Ready For Love” was played to death on the radio, and danced to on a prime time pop show here in the UK. Still it only...

    If i could ask her anything, i would love to know how she feels when reflecting on that time period, especially if she would have done anything differently.

    I hate the instrumental break on the single version, but don’t think the song had potential to climb much higher.
    I really wish BIM had contained a killer dance track. “Your Love Is So Good For Me”...

    I agree, as we got to hear more of the sultry and irresistible Ross voice.

    Although “BIM” is a fine album, i don’t hear any top ten hits. This is where the problem lay, and i assume why the intended follow up was abandoned.
