I respectfully disagree. Are we saying that as opposed to Mary, Diana, would blindly comply with anything and everything Gordy wanted to the detriment of her and the group. As a test of her loyalty,...
I absolutely agree brad. To honestly think Gordy looked upon Mary with a jaundiced eye because she was noble and brave enough to try and protect her colleagues over who drove that station wagon is...
After the massive success “Love Hangover”, it’s all the more confusing as to why she was teamed with Richard Perry for the sophisticated, but hardly dance friendly Baby It’s Me.
‘Your Love Is So...
Lack of rehearsal was key and that was due to Diana.The thinking almost being if she doesn’t give a fig why should we.
If Mary was M’s Casswell and Diana Eve Harrington, does that make Flo Margo Channing?.
If only one could flick a switch.:eek:
Another world.
Diana’s version comes out on top when compared with FD, which for me lacks the thumping groove of the Ross version. It also helps Diana’s voice is unique and brings a playfulness to the song.
At...
As a one off it would have made for a profitable venture and a fans delight. Perhaps an album release should have been what RTL was all about about as opposed to a world tour. A lot simpler and...
I think ‘Love Hangover” would have been just as big a hit with say Donna Summer on lead, so the production must take a huge chunk of the credit.
I certainly think Diana lends the song a fun...
A good breakdown sup.
LOL. Just a pipe dream, but do wonder what kind of albums they might have recorded had they reformed. I’m guessing ‘Workin Overtime would have been a non-starter.
63 to 81 were all brilliant in different ways. As already mentioned, after that the singing took a backseat to other elements of the show.
Men are often at the mercy of their testosterone levels.:rolleyes:
Diana should have reformed the group with Mary and Cindy at the time her solo recording career prematurely hit the rocks on home soil around 86. The media would have been a buzz, while being an...
Indeed they were with five top ten hits, and almost six with “River Deep Mountain High” reaching #11. They easily could have scored more had a more commercial song than “Touch” been released and a...
I tend to agree. The single edit sounds far more polite.
Songs like “So Macho” sound as evergreen today as when first released.:rolleyes:
I’m impressed. Given your youthful years, i thought you were going to think Linda who??.
You may be right about the lack of vocal sophistication not being Supreme enough.
By the same token, i ...
Had the album charted as high as those Diana Ross & Supremes albums mentioned at #28, #31 or #33 i would say that it charted reasonably well. Farewell and Talk Of The Town being live albums released...
Not sure about the lovely Denise Williams, but there was the perfect type voice in pop/soul singer Linda Carr.
Check her out singing the hit “High Wire” on you tube. Vey Dianaish.
Given that Diana would forever cast a long shadow over the group, was it a voice the public ever wanted or even associated with the Supremes.
The material on both HE and MS&S was too notch, but...
Personal and professional are two very vey different things. Are you saying Mary might have enjoyed being beaten and abused as reasons the marriage lasted that long?.
From my experience of wives in...
I think to some degree it was more to do with the sound and style the general public associated with the Supremes. Had Scherrie been lead on “Up The Ladder To The Roof”, i doubt the record would have...
