the version we have of Jean (and the Andantes) singing Never is after it was a hit for J5. the girls' version wasn't kept in the can and then the boys recorded it.

the Sup version is not bad...

according to Mary's books, Jean was dating Clifton Davis. Davis also wrote Here Comes The Sunrise. so the interesting question is what would have been had the Sups recorded it first

there is 1 album were a special promo version was recorded

Touch

the girls did that interview promotional copy where a portion of the album tracks were left off. the girls answered questions...

what would be fun (although i get it that it's probably just as unlikely) would be for Diana to better utilize social media. maybe the month of February she focuses on the DR 76 album. then the...

the only difference i'm aware of (and going off of memory so it could be fuzzy) is a promo 45 MIGHT have the A side on both as opposed to the originally released B side. or maybe an instrumental on...

i thought as part of the 77 case and settlement, that it was agreed that both parties agreed that in addition to dropping their respective charges, they couldn't bring them back up again later. one...

Lionel produced this song so, yes, he was in the studio with Diana I'd assume. but that doesn't mean he stood there next to her and recorded his lead vocals.

agreed. frankly it's almost like coworkers in totally separate departments in a company. sure you might have a few projects or meetings together but essentially 99% of your time and work is totally...

lolol if he didn't whisper fast or long enough, flo might take matters into her own hands lol

I know most of Flo's vocals have been more "powerhouse" style but i'm going off of her lovely lead...

and i'd love to hear Flo attempt some really soft sexy leads too. I know i'm sometimes critical of the leads we have from Flo. it's not that i don't think she could sing - it's that i think she...

agreed. Good News is simply fantastic. but others like Silent Night and O Holy Night are (much) less so. part of the problem is the fact that both songs are dirge slow. I realize no one wants a...

yeah Mistake has never done much for me.

did Marvin ever do much producing of others? i would assume it would be a challenge to work with him due to his approach and style.

also given Flo's solo album for ABC, i do not think your comment about "flo having the vocal ability" to lead the group is correct. the material on her solo album was certainly sub par but her...

Flo's exit from the group was a very contentious situation. IMO the flagrantly disruptive behavior she exhibited in 67 was a serious problem.

she was so drunk in Jan in New Orleans and couldn't...

Blue - so what did the UK do right with this album? while TMH didn't chart as strongly in the UK as Force, it still did rather well. what approach(es) did the team there do to help break it out in...

i think Whisper is the same track but they wiped Mary's lead and the A's backing.

as for Mary Wilson leads, i completely agree. the style and sound would have worked well for her. Mary does...

I do really like You're A Special Part of Me. And You Are Everything is stunning. Just Say Just Say is another fav.

but the rest i tend to ignore

agree that the album was underwhelming. ...

what great discussion!! fun fun fun!

So the album chart issue:

it peaked at a disappointing 26

it ran on the charts forever!! 47 weeks!!

so my thought is it might have had inconsistent...

the thread and discussion on Why TMH didn't chart better in the US has been a fun one!

let's dig into another album that didn't really meet the hoped expectations.

The D&M duets should have...

yes that's the story! couldn't remember the details. and i don't know that, frankly, Diana was ever a consideration for Witches. but just an example

also during the 80s she was VERY busy with...

in Call Her Miss Ross, Randy discusses the idea of Diana in Witches of Eastwick. i don't think he was implying that she was a candidate for a role but more around the point that she probably...

and given the timing of things too. the word was always that Diana in the 80s was too demanding on what control and role she would play in the overall production. and she seemed pretty razor...

i think it's just a "maybe" as to whether Diana would have achieved a pop hit in the 90s. You mention Tina, Cher and Patti but all 3 of them, frankly, had stronger public images in that people like...

i think her doing an AC album is perfectly fine. and while it might not have broken her into the Pop top 40, that's ok. But did Motown promote and push TMH in the AC market? i don't see any AC...
