Great to see a video of these lovely unsung ladies. I admit I was expecting them to jump during" you'd better look before you leap", but they moved very nicely especially compared to other artists of...
Kenneth, your review was a triumph. Very well done. I took my daughter to see the show in NYC for her 16th birthday, and it was great entertainment. As someone who is on this sight I did not expect...
Being nuts about anything Ashford and Simpson, or being nuts and liking Ashford and Simpson, I was not aware of this. While I was not a fan of the Motor City output when it came out, this could...
Too bad the building is no more. I remember visiting my beloved hometown about 5 years ago and being at the building on a Saturday afternoon in the summer and it was closed, though there was a sign...
Since the album came out in 65, I always assumed it was a 65 recording. I am surprised it was from 63. Upon further review it does have kind of a post- do-wop feel.An absolute gem with a little TLC...
Speaking for myself, I am a 60 year old who is somewhat computer savvy, however, I love to be able to hold , look at and even read physical product. Therefore while I have resisted downloads up to...
I just love me some Nick and Val! I would be over the moon to hear the Motown duet LP. In my humble opinion Ms. Simpsons 2 solo albums were masterpieces. However on the released duets they did, it...
I am Benny Benjamin's Drumming Son! Smile.I mostly play Gospel and a little
Jazz, and when I look into the pews, or the audience, I smile when I throw in an accent on a tom-tomwhileplaying a...
I first encountered this song about 85, almost 20 years after the fact, during the First Motown Retrospective Era, early 90' s being the second, after having read that it was the quintessential...
The 4 Tops on Top, very animated choreography that one does not often see.
Thank you for sharing. What a strikingly pretty woman!
I just got my copy today and am trying to not play it until tomorrow when I am in the car and I can concentrate on the music ...and driving, without being driven to distraction. From the point that I...
I think it would have ruined her career. I don't think the manistream balck community that read Jet, Ebony and went to church on Sundays would have either. It would have been a major letdown if the...
I do feel for Mary Wilson unlike Diana,Smokey and Stevie she has to tour and do upwards of 50-100 concerts to just pay her bills and property taxes on her home in Vegas. I wonder if a part of her...
Mr Ralpht, you're too nice but I respect you...because you were there at Motown. You're a part of rock/pop/soul music history!!!
I think you're right Marv. It was around the time Diane gave Mary one of those loans for her mortgage or back taxes.
BayouMotownMan it's not going to happen. I admire Ralph Terrana he's an unsung behind the scenes Motown legend but unless he gets tough like Berry Gordy did with his recording acts...it ain't going...
I admire Mary Wilson or "Mare", she's had an incredible life as a Supreme singing with/behind Diana Ross & Jean Terrell and her struggles to start a solo career were poignant as well. I've always...
Thank You, Roberta
That's when Mary Wilson was really pretty before she had some plastic surgeon turn her into Jay Leno's damn sister a few years back.
Certain people on here are why I rarely post. They're not only out of touch but out of their medications as well...

2. Run To You

4. How Will I Know
5. Greatest Love Of All
I've listened to some of those post Diana Supreme and having all three sing lead was not always a good thing on record and tv shows.
Marv, man it must have been something to have seen that show back in the day. The Supremes & Temptations were on fire!!!
