Interesting the screening of The Wiz for a Saturday evening when Mahogany has never been shown on UK television.
Looking forward to Diana at the BBC, hoping there is something i haven’t seen before.

Fact is, if Diana hadn’t taken it to the next level in getting physical, the media would have been none the wiser apart from thinking the reunion rather short.
That makes sense.
I never really understood why the body wasn’t removed.
And most important thing of all, remember not to push and manhandle a fellow female performer in front of an audience. It’s never a good look, being what really caught the media’s attention.
Like Flo, was really excited when reading BBC thinking it was for tv. Will be sure to listen anyway, so thanks for the heads-up.
I wonder what other celebrations lay in wait for us Diana fans during...
Although i have always loved the album, it was perhaps a little overly r&b orientated for what the public expected from the Supremes. A lighter sound might have proved more popular in the vein of...
The two women’s voices being so different in sound and style i would have to say a resounding no.
A more comfortable fit would have been Jean singing Susaye’s material. Her voice had a narrower...
It smacks of fear of rejection. Go with a tried and trusted formula and they’ll keep returning. Everyone loves “Baby Love” after all.
The same applies to Mary having the courage to leave Motown....
A discerning appraisal of Motown 25, with lack of communication invariably the culprit.
It peaked at #12 in the UK during 1974.
Is that the one where she brought in pastries for the entire crew and conducted a singalong?. Perhaps I’m confusing it with something else.:confused:
It might have been fantastic, but extremely unlikely Diana would have been prepared to share the spotlight at such a high profile, once in a lifetime event as Central Park.
I think we can all agree that Diana wasn’t exactly overjoyed about appearing that night. It’s just a huge shame that she couldn’t have conducted herself with a little more class and dignity and been...
Not necessarily this song, but would have more than welcomed a Nile and Bernard follow up to “diana”. It was the funkiest she had sounded in years.
Upon first hearing “WDFFIL”, my only thought was...
My favourite new Supremes album.
Diana’s actions were enough to draw a collective gasp from the audience. This was confirmed to me many moons ago when my partner introduced me to music biz friends who had attended Motown 25.
I...
Some good points that i agree with. [[Shock horror). She was still establishing a new sound and image at that point in time. I think the last thing she wanted was to be seen as a Supreme, while...
Diana was certainly wild eyed that evening, like a cornered tigress.
It really is a shame she couldn’t have just relaxed and accepted the event for the loving reunion it was meant to be. The...
I’m not quite getting the vibe that Suzanne herself really loved Diana’s antics during Adam Ants performance, while seriously doubting she loved Smokey having to be shunted on stage to prevent a cat...
For me and a lot of others it would have been preferable to what we did end up with.
The traditional Chic sound remained popular throughout the early 80’s, with Sister Sledge charting high with...
An interesting documentary, but agree in not enough details regarding Diana’s behaviour on the night.
i would like to have known if her not wanting to appear on stage occurred on the actual night or...
Absolutely. It’s a Diana Ross classic that for me remains up there with her very best.
Aside from the huge international success of “Chain Reaction”, the “Eaten Alive” single was a top ten r&b hit...
We should be careful, this could become a habit. I would have loved for Nile & Bernard to have worked on a follow up to the funky “diana” set. A slightly harder edged album might have been good in...
I disagree. “diana” wasn’t a traditional disco album in the vein if ‘I Will Survive. It was funky and exciting r&b that took her in another direction. The public loved this new sound being why it...
