Diana. I fell in love with The Supremes, but it was Diana's voice from the start. Still my favorite voice 60 years on.

I always liked Rebel Rouser and Because They're Young. His Motown connection surprised me but Because They're Young was a hit in 1960 and now I can hear similarities with early Motown - The Miracles'...
I grew up on the single versions and, for a long time, I preferred the single and mono versions. They sounded like the hits I remembered from the radio. I was very happy when The Ultimate Collection...
I think by the 70s many albums, including many greatest hits collections, had 10 tracks or less, depending on the lengths of the tracks. In a parallel late 1972 [no Jimmy Webb or Dynamite!!], I can...
Thanks, I needed this. :)
I remember it this way too. Mike Love was apparently feeling the spirit of the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame moment and felt the need to [sarcastically] comment on the absences of two of the most...
Yes, I really liked this, too! When and where was this? Nice energy and I never heard her sound better. She almost made me forget Diana, but I still missed Florence on the background. I've also liked...
I say 50:50. I think Hal Davis and Diana Ross are equally responsible for the recording's commercial and artistic success. It was stunning the first time I heard it on DR76. Hal Davis produced one of...
Your favorites [eras & albums] are exactly the same as mine!
I'm also glad it worked out as it did, the last #1 for DRATS and for the decade of the1960s. I had my doubts on first hearing SWBT, it being so different from previous DRATS singles. But it's an...
Where Did Our Love Go [always!]
Upside Down [Diana Ross solo]
The two standouts for me:
DMF - The early [1965] Hullabaloo with Back In My Arms Again and You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You.
MSC - Star Spangled Banner acapella at the boxing match.
Lol, Boogiedown. Just tell us how you feel, why don't you?
But your last statement is sacrilegious! I think there's a reason MWIEWY endures as a Greatest Hit despite not reaching #1. It's a great...
I was underwhelmed on first listen when I bought the album in 1975. I agree about half being good [but not great] - It's All Been Said Before, Color My World Blue, You Can't Stop a Girl in Love, Give...
She wanted to look down on all the Motown magnificence she & Berry had created/wrought! :):rolleyes:
Truth, LoveSupreme, still, 41 years on.
Coming on 60 years of Ross bliss now, but if I have to list my Ross Go To's over the decades:
Supremes:
Where did Our Love Go
Come See About Me
You Can't Hurry Love
You Keep Me Hangin' On...
Fun way to revisit classic Motown drum intros! Thanks for all the links, Gary.
My favorites are:
Nowhere To Run - definitely the favorite - always gets me excited
I Heard It through the Grapevine...
Loved reading this, Boogie.
I have to apologize to all of you. My reply to spreadingloves post [#8] was not well-thought out itself, to say the very least.:[[ I liked his thoughts on the subject of this thread, except for the...
I like it! I haven't heard this song sung this way and it's a very nice change.
I like Boy Toy because 1. It's so very Girl Groups, a genre where it's all about the boy.
and 2. It totally objectifies males.
You're absolutely right, Boogie, but in my case, it is 60 years of exposure.
I love having both versions, too. Thank you, George Solomon & company! I will need to listen to the EE to see if I have a preference. Do you?
I love that Jule Styne worked with the group in the...
Dislike => Like: I Want a Guy - This was one I hated from the beginning, but I do like the EE version with just Diana because it's like listening to her first solo recording.
Meh => Like: I've...
