Hard to include 'Back in My Arms Again' in a solo act with lyrics referencing Mary & Flo.
In RTL Miss Ross had to sing something different - was it 'Oh - she don't know'?

Sinitta WAS cheesy but I still loved some of her S-A-W songs like GTO & Cross My Broken Heart.
They sometimes used to refer to themselves as 'The Hit Factory' which I often thought was a...
Dionne had a huge back catalogue of hits by 1970 - many more than Aretha or that new solo act Diana.
I'm not surprised if she was rated #1 then even if her career was about to go downhill [[mainly...
Yes, my comment about booing [[or was it just disinterest?) at the show came from Supreme Faith memories.
With 'Up', 'Stoned', 'Nathan' and 'River' they had a decent bunch of hits to base a live...
I remember Mary saying that the Jean-led Supremes got boos at some outdoor music festival.
Well, if they went on and performed their Copa setlist, I'm not surprised. Were the New Supremes a...
79-80 was the highlight for me.
And then, sadly, it all went downhill.
Sonny & Cher hadn't had many hits for a few years before their show started.
But they were better actors/comedians than pretty much everyone at Motown apart from maybe Diana and Michael.
i...
I guess they will need a few actors to play Michael, with a new one appearing every time he has some work done on his face.
It should have been kept earning interest until the girls were of an age where it might be used to finance college etc.
Whoever heard of a trust fund being used to pay for food?
I spent a lot of time going around to specialist record dealers to procure old vinyl of some of these old Invictus songs. Some of which I regretted when I got home and played the song lol

I tend to think that without the Supremes there would have been no Diana Ross.
She didn't have the voice to get a solo contract with anyone. It was only due to the Supremes and their success that...
There can't be too many girl-group [[or any 60s group or star) books left to be written.
Almost everyone from back then is dead now.
"No Mom. I wanna stay home.
Grandpa always makes us listen to that awful music from a hundred years ago"...
I always thought the 'West Coast' [[LA) band was just 'The Wrecking Crew' which leads me to wonder if the Crew ever performed live together.
Doco was interesting but - like the actual show - promised more than it delivered.
Highlights were the Tops/Tempts medley & the Jacksons reunion. Diana really spoiled it from being an all-time...

I don't think in 1980 'the public' would have even known who Nile & Nard were. And their sound was always changing. The people that say Debbie Harry's solo album sounds like 'diana leftovers' crack...
That could be the title of every album Diana released at RCA.
I think the public had also moved on from songs like 'Why Do Fools Fall in Love' from the 50s, but obviously Diana didn't agree.
"They" didn't get to Bowie. Only Nile [[though he got Bernard in to play bass on one track).
It's funny that people think Nile & Bernard's music was dated in the early 1980s when they went on to have huge successes with Madonna, David Bowie, Power Station, Duran Duran, INXS and many more...
Feels like that setlist has been going for 63 years too....
Back then, probably not. These days it certainly would.
Now doctors say only two drinks [[say a beer or a small glass of wine) per day and two days per week not drinking at all. Any more than...
Such a great list of acts [[though some of the original members are no longer with us/them). I imagine some of the lesser names will only have sets of 3 or 4 songs.
It would be a great...
95% [[99?) of fans back then probably hardly noticed the change.
The world was a much smaller place back then and not too many fans around the world even got to see them perform on TV. And the...
