SMOKEY ROBINSON - It's Her Turn To Live...
I guess it doesn't matter. The old farts in the audience can't hear anyway.
Of course there are all types of buyers. I'm sure there was a contingency that bought a record just because it said Motown on the label. But that would be an expensive approach as Motown put out a...
Yes , but I have to try harder at it :p
he haw !
He haw!^
Maybe its time for a revealing of live performers who are fake . A list of the offenders.
We can start with Janet Jackson and Whitney Houston.
Louvain Demps.
Was there any attempt at tracking done as to which Motown artists sold to who??
Who [age, sex, etc.] was buying Supremes records as opposed to who was buying Four Tops? Was there a big...
glad you enjoyed it. :)
Not much about it on you tube .... [?]

the real deal.
well said.
And conversely Diana's flamboyancy was necessary in the mix . If they were all like Flo [or Mary] , they would've come off very dull.
Watching these clips, Flo to me projects a sense of calm amongst the three. She offers a normalcy, a nice counter balance to Diana's over the top visuals. If they were all hamming it up like Diana...
The following article from Record World stretched the regular chart posting beyond the maximum amount of text permitted, so rather than trying to condense it, the entire article is being ...
Hee haw!^
They sure kept away from full visuals once the segment got going. I'm thinking if the superman cape part of the dress were a different color that might've helped. Also the camera angle...
speaking of outfits, those worn for Ed Sullivan sure weren't flattering. Both Mary and Flo look mother-to-be. I wonder if part of the staging was because when side-by-side those dresses made Flo look...
This is Ross at her best ....handling the highest degree of mangled phrasing.... and this song is a mouthful!!!
but what in the world is the line @ 2:03
sure don't recall that in the song...
Yes he says here, SSSSSuuu ......then more mumbled words to the effect of ....oh hell with it :p
I think Ed felt bad, he sure jumped in with a resounding YAAA! right at the end to compensate
Hmmmm its something that ends in a long juicy 'SHSSSSS'
here ssszzz?

after Ed fails in an attempt to remember who he is introducing , what word does he mumble after he says "the girls" ??
Was this Supreme trying to sound like Aretha here??.

Odd to me that this cut off Aretha's LP attracted attention at Motown.

Because of the amount of content,
the year 1974 is being divided into three threads.

May - August

Pam and Marilyn getting together to do some songwriting. Pam and producer Michael Masser are coming off LAST TIME I SAW HIM a hit written by the two of them , and she and Michael...
That's a good point. Trying to pass YOUR LOVE IS SO... as disco was really a stretch, and counterintuitive to recording a Richard Perry project. Were they getting desperate at that time and seeing...
Yes the Supremes could easily shift their style to something more contemporary because they themselves were reinvented as well. Diana had crafted herself to a high level of respectability over a...
Plus they visually went from black & white to living color.
