totally agree. and i think taking a few lines or a verse is one thing but to lead an entire song, to go through all of the interpretation and all of the lyrics, to insert some unique elements and ad...

despite the rumors and stories, i have a HARD time imagining Cindy doing a lead on HE that would have been released. not saying one wasn't recorded but i think it was never to see the light of day. ...
but those tv shows stretch over a LONG period of time. they performed HMM at the expense of Where Do I Go.

totally right Ran
Walking was the 3rd release by the supremes since reforming - the first two bombed so why would the 3rd be different? plus the group was doing ANOTHER lineup change. so of...
the routine was dreadful and their live tv performances of HMM were abysmal. that Tonight Show clip is one of the worse tv appearances in the group's history, IMO. Mary is attempting to be a...
i think she's great on FJ and outstanding on AS. the DR Project website did track by track reviews of all albums - 60s sups, 70s sups and all DR solo. the author comments on the peace/love hippie...
exactly. different voices have different capabilities. the intro of HMM is full-power energy. then verse 1 starts and mary's warm and sensual tone just doesn't really match up with what we just...
while there have been times in the past where fans on here are "blinded" by their loyalty to one girl or another, i don't think that's the case with HMM. absolutely there are people that are right...
several of the fans from back then have said that was NOT really true, just wishful thinking from mary and that both motown and marvin were pissed that she just announced this on air like that.
completely agree. Mary is a wonderful singer but that doesn't mean she's a perfect fit for every tune. no one can sing everything. with such a heavy, thick backing track, you need a vocal that can...
interesting about Sunshine. had never heard of a full lead song for Cindy other than Dream sequence.
was this the run at the Riviera Hotel?
this seems to be more of something Mary was dropping publicly than anything else. she tried this several times and just seems like it was more a pipe dream from her. and by dropping public hints,...
haha i believe Cindy is on the left and Scherrie is on the right
I'm totally guessing here but trying to maybe piece things together. Mary has said she wanted to be the lead singer in the MSC lineup. motown was not interested in that but were ok with mary taking...
yeah it's interesting that some songs that hit #1 aren't maybe as enduring as other songs that didn't hit #1. Reflections and My World are both examples of songs that have lived on stronger than...
yeah i think the album cover isn't the greatest. the front pic just doesn't do justice to the group. not saying the girls had to wear the cliche sequins or some old DRATS gowns. but i just don't...
by the time the Sups were reforming with Scherrie, things were very different with motown. there wasn't the old Quality Control structure. and i don't think motown was as involved with how acts put...
i think disco wasn't all that mainstream in 75 and so if the goal was to re-introduce the Sups to chart success, something more general in appeal would have been the right choice.
traditional pop...
but even Diana did two totally different renditions of the song. the recorded version is haunting and her vocals are perfectly reflecting this. but then live, it's a bouncy bubblegum song. it hops...
agree! they're really not half bad tunes! i might have cut the "we wanna boogie, we wanna rae gae" line with the backing vocals. but otherwise it's pretty good
and Mr Boogie is fun and great to...
see i do think most of the Ivey Woodford tracks are better than good. are they at the level of You Can't Hurry Love or Love Child? no. are they at the level of Stoned Love or Touch Me In the...
i really like these slow-burn versions of My World. the jean one is very good but i think Scherrie's is just a touch better. she made is pretty sizzling hot
also they adjusted the backing vocals...
that's a good point. she was at least doing a handful of gigs on the oldies circuit. but wanda [[from my understanding) was in no condition to be part of the event. they certainly should have at...
i like the album cover too!! some seems to have problems with it but my guess is that's more from the fact that it originally included DMF and C. and so i think there's more a sentimental reason...
so far we've received a handful of these "psychedelic soul" songs from the group. of course Reflections and Forever. plus Bah, I'm gonna make, I can't make it alone, Am I Asking Too Much. so you...
