I may have posted this before - BUT - as BHM is closing out I think it's worth a repeat for any of the new members who may not have seen it -
...

This lady is as funny as they come. Irreverent, outrageous AND smart and psychologically insightful. I love Nay's presentations and thank (I forgot who introduced me to Nay here - sorry ...) for...

Absolutely he was! Remember that Clive Davis chose Jermaine to sing on multiple tracks on the Whitney debut lp, which was a big, Big, BIG anticipated lp. There's no doubt that Jermaine was (maybe,...

Understood. I did not mean to refer to you specifically. I also get the point about signature songs but it reaches the point that some performers are lucky to have SO many signature songs that a...

A very emotional picture to view, nomis. Diana sure was experiencing some serious emotional stress. The lady kept going, that's for sure!

Seems to be a Diana-fan issue. If she sings familiar songs, SHE DOESN'T SING ANYTHING NEW!!! And if Diana chooses new material, WHERE ARE THE FAMILIAR SONGS??

I'll watch this weekend. Have been looking forward to this. I was a major fan of SOUL!

Hmmm. Unfortunate. I tend to think that like most estate matters THE FAMILY PROBABLY THINKS THEY DID NOT GET ENOUGH $$$ MONEY!!! so does not want to see the project succeed. Kecalf did not enumerate...

A timeless performance on a classic record. Thanks, Mr. James Burke!

Interesting, Reese. Allen was a big draw in NYC at the time. I remember so well that for tour after tour in NYC Diana would be booked for a run of dates. Which would sell out in a few days. Then...

The 't-and-jeans' (and, I believe, bare feet!) was legendary in the NYC area. As I recall this run of shows sold out before I could get a ticket.

Holden has always been negative about Diana. Interestingly I recall him calling other performers' concerts at the time as overproduced!

I saw Nick Ashford pull it out once.

Yup, on board with 'I'm a widow from the South side'. Diana has great comic ability when she chooses!

Nice that you were able to hear "Remember Me' live. Did Diana perform it with the gospel call-and-response ending?

Marvin wanted to smoke the good sh!t in the studio while Diana was pregnant. And, the lp did just fine considering it's mid-level quality.

Who, Kenneth, can ever ascertain why certain lps have been released on CD and others have not? Of course projected sales $ is/are a major factor, yet ... After all, Jerry Butler was a much greater...

Listened to most of the Take Me Higher album while speed-training this evening. What a lovely, lush & beautifully sung album.

I just can't. Really. I'd love to, but ... just can't. SOOO deeply private a selection. I'd love to, but just ... can't. NOTHING would allow me to tell you, though I would love to. Truly. It's simply...

Here's an interesting podcast about the first Cymande album -

I recently found a 'grey market' CD of one of my last 'bucket list' albums from the lp era. When the CD and re-release boom began I looked forward to this favorite LP being issued in CD format. Never...

Sad news, Ralph, as well as a nice tribute. Thanks for relaying.

You, my educated friend, are most welcome. There is more to the history of counterfeiting/bootlegging but, as you know, brevity is the soul of wit. In lieu of Friday's quiz you can ... I don't know -...
