Zero passion between D and M, unlike all of his work with Tammi.
I've heard they recorded their duets separately and it shows.

My guess is Turkessa and Jay Schwartz are in charge of Mary's affairs. She also obviously had a very good relationship with Andy an Universal.
Very rarely will a company rehire an employee with so many "issues"; lawsuits against them being just one of many reasons.
Three backup singers would have never made a solid group. Plus, do you...
Thank you! Yes, Linda Evans. And no, not THAT Linda Evans, lol.
Turkessa I would assume. Although I'm sure she doesn't have much interest.
I'm certain Mary had legal counseling prior and will allow the gowns to continue to be displayed.
"So sorry to hear about the passing of Mary Wilson, one of Motown's many legends!
RIHP, my sister in song!"
Over the years, Mary was joined onstage by some pretty amazing backup vocalists.....them doing the "oohs" and "aahs" while she took the lead!
Has there ever been a comprehensive list? Here's what...
Mary's passing has given me a tremendous appreciation for Carl Feuerbacher. As some of you know, Carl was Mary's Fan Club President for years. In a time before the internet, Carl and his newsletters...
Heartbroken. Devastated. I can't even begin to wrap my head around Mary's unexpected passing.
My love affair started back in 1986 with the release of "Dreamgirl". I was just 13 years old. When I...
I think Flo could have made a very comfortable life for her as a singer, post her tenure in the Supremes. I'm certain she could have been the Toast of Detriot, if she applied herself. But to think...
An observation: isn't it funny how the general public seems to always associate the Supremes with wearing long gloves? Anytime you see a tribute, or see a "costume" connected with the group, it...
It's great to see Mary on working terms with Universal! Looks as though they have taken control of her website as well? Hopefully this partnership is the start of something SUPREME!
I'm hoping the other tracks she speaks of are from her time with the Supremes. There's plenty of solo / leads that I'd love to be released: "Send Him to Me", "Son of a Preacher Man", "If You Let Me",...
Was thinking:
The Supremes covered a Vandellas song.
And the Marvelettes covered a Supremes song.
But did the Vandellas ever cover the Supremes? And did the Supremes ever cover the...
I've always been a fan of the Supremes version of "Heaven Must Have Sent You". If I remember correctly, this was recorded with Cindy (or the Andantes?) so it would have been to late for "A Go Go"....
The other day someone posted Mary'll do an interview for anyone with a webcam. Made me LOL.
Mary is an interviewers dream. She's funny and always has some story to tell. Just don't get her to...
I wonder if Gordy ended up kicking himself for including "Boots" and "Sloopy". I think it's no secret he wanted all the pie to himself; it must have killed him that 2 non-Motown songs were included...
There's a couple of performances of the FLOs with Jean in the late 80's floating around YouTube. To me, it's just filled with cheese factor. Where in the 70's, she had this VOICE and this PRESENCE...
"Boots" worked for Nancy because she was kittenish and sexy. Not the first two words I'd use to describe either D or F.
The story of Flo and this recording is the stuff that legends are made of. She would have done a good job. A great opportunity to let her chops loose. A strong album filler track.
But it wasn't...
Jean has been so hot and cold about Show Business. She's a Supreme then she leaves the group and the busines. Then she records a solo LP but refuses to promote it due to "religious reasons". Then she...
I know there are pics with Diana and almost every other Supreme (quite a few with Scherrie in the 80's and 90's) but I've never seen her with Jean. Just thought I'd ask. :)
"TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING"
In concert, she does this amazing interpretation unlike the original recording.
Other than the "Farewell" performance in 1970, were Diana and Jean ever photographed together?
I agree Ran. I've said this many times before; you can walk into Macy's today and pull a beautiful gown off the rack for less than $200. I imagine with inflation in the 70's it would have been closer...
