I'll play the video later but one thing I can say:
That does NOT look like a woman who's approaching 77!
I agree with Jimi. I also agree that the Supremes would've faded anyway. If Jean was actually the "second coming" of Diana, it probably would've worked. It was hard to fill those shoes (Scherrie had...
Weird question lol
They screamed almost always while he was singing it. The minute he cooed "distant lover...", they started screaming. I heard some women had to be taken away by an ambulance from...
Y'all are weird lol
That's quite plausible. Tammi and Valerie have distinctive vocals that make them different. In most of "Easy", I hear Tammi mostly. I could say VS may have been on TWO songs. Maybe.
According to Valerie and Nick, Marvin & Tammi recorded the song in the studio LIVE so no.
Wouldn't it be great if we get a vinyl re-release AND a CD/DVD? Amazing if they did record the Oakland concert on video!
He did. I always considered everything he released after 1971 as post-Motown Motown lol
I couldn't see Diana being with another label. She was so omnipresent at Motown that when she left, it seemed like the company went with it... I always wondered what would've happened had she...
Interesting, can you expound on that? Marvin probably has a lot of unreleased live footage out there that we haven't seen yet. There's a concert Marvin had at the Olympia Hall in Paris in 1976 that...
Stevie leaving Motown in 2020 is not a huge headline. It would've been in 1980 lol
Mary was getting into it...whatever she was singing! LOL
It always will be.
Yeah. I guess in my eyes, we had a love-hate relationship lol there were times we were at each other's throats, the next minute, we're bigging the other up on posts.
That was not Valerie on You're All I Need to Get By. I'll go to the afterlife believing that.
You know what I think now? David Ritz misconstrued Marvin's words about the "Easy" sessions. Marvin...
I miss Marv like crazy. I actually looked forward to his posts, even the ones he kept making about Mary! This forum seems real empty without him. :(
As for Monica, she needed to go a long time ago.
Just sent a tribute post to him on the other thread but I'll repeat a bit:
We had good conversations and at times we nearly came to blows but he was quite a brilliant person when it came to music...
I feared this. Was unusual not to see him on here after a minute. We had our differences and sometimes nearly came to blows, that said, when he focused on artists, he was quite brilliant to talk to....
RIP!
Soon it's gonna be no one else but Frankie left from the group.
The Supremes, as well as most American groups, didn't have the luxuries the Beatles did in not touring after a certain period. Especially if you were a black group, you HAD to tour, otherwise, people...
I forget that most pop songs didn't stay on the charts for long periods of time. That wasn't until recently. And yes I'm aware it was number one on the Adult Contemporary charts so that might've done...
Do we have to wait until Berry passes to get the truth of who sold what???
It's frustrating because we think when we see chart positions that they were "flops" but the way songs were released then...
Both Diana and Mary are Democrats, last I checked.
Yeah. Patti is extra but she does care for her friends. That's one thing I give her a lot of kudos for. And I know about her history with her and Dionne Warwick getting on each other's nerves (over...
