That's Shantel on the bottom left of your photo, so she is part of the Pearlie Salters lineup lol. I really wish I could find that interview again where she talked about singing with Freda Payne in...

As much as I respect Scherrie and Lynda and their talents, I think those extra background singers were needed in order to fill out the sound. They needed fuller sounding background vocals on that...
I agree. Her most recent solo album contained a solid selection of material that was well suited to her voice. Other stuff that she's done after the Ronettes has sort of been hit and miss for me,...
Hi Deepdishus, welcome to the forum! I also have some concert regrets as well. I think my biggest one was not seeing Tina Turner on her last tour in 2008. Circumstances at the time didn't allow for...
Deepdishus is right about ticket prices. They really tend to vary, depending on the artist, city and venue. Bigger cities tend to be more pricey. Ticket prices have also skyrocketed in the last five...
Someone mentioned Barbra and Dolly's greater visibility versus Diana's. Two things to consider is that Diana is much more choosy with her projects and rightfully so. I cringe at the thought of...
Yes, she's been opening with I'm Coming Out again since 2007, with the exception of her 2010 tour, where she mostly opened with The Boss, except for a couple of dates. She also opened with Chain...
The last time Diana sang Back In My Arms Again was over 20 years ago, during the Return To Love tour. I haven't heard her sing it since then. Mary still sings it in her shows.
I agree with dumping...
Bumping this thread back up to the surface, as this great vinyl box set was also released as a 7 disc CD version in November. Posting this as a heads up to those who may be interested but didn't want...
Hmm. I remember she admitted to taking computer lessons at the Apple store in 2011, so perhaps she has been picking up some new tech skills along the way.
Tracee did an interview several months ago and when asked about how her Mom was doing during the pandemic, she said that she's been actively keeping in touch with the entire family through her...
I think she is posting these messages and videos herself, based on the writing style. She regularly posts on her Twitter account, and sometimes those messages are also shared onto her Facebook page,...
Nomis, my goodness. I am sorry to hear about the stressful working conditions you had to endure. I can identify. However, I want to know if you actually paid $1,000 (or more) for Never Before...
LOL. Too cute!
According to Paul Stuart, he is unable to take any more orders at this time and was asking people to hold off on ordering. I am guessing they may need to press some more CDs in the coming weeks to...
Happy Birthday to Ms Weston! I was playing her Big Brass Four Poster album earlier this week. An amazing and extremely underrated voice.
I agree with you on that!
I think if I had to list something, I'd say the Diana! TV Soundtrack, only for the reason that there's some unnecessary tracks on there from the skits and such. I also...
The recent 2 LP reissue of Dusty in Memphis by Run Out Groove also sounds fantastic. I will have to get these versions you mentioned sometime, and do a formal comparison. I've seen the Analogue...
Where is all of this supposed 'insider info' coming from in regards to Ms Ross 'blocking' the release of a planned expanded edition set of Ross '78? All I will say is that as much as the internet and...
If you ordered the Everything Is Everything Expanded Edition CD directly from Hip-O Select's website back in 2008, it came with a sticker of an alternate 'fantasy' cover that you could paste over top...
Funny, I just bought this very same album last month and it arrived a couple of weeks ago from overseas. I have always loved the photo featured on the cover of this compilation :)
That was cool. Neat to hear/see the Marvelettes' Caught You Putting the Game On Love playing at the mixing board, especially considering the fact that this track went unreleased until several years...
Yes, Stevie owns his masters from 1971 and onwards. It was part of his new deal with Motown, at that time. Good for him.

Yes, exactly MaryBrewster. I can't believe he was featured in Diana's E True Hollywood Story, talking like he's some Motown historian. They just called him up because he was the 'soup du jour'. Next.
