I was getting a bit confused as you didn’t mention lack of radio play when first commenting on a Scherrie lead and how the song was unlikely to hit. All sorted.

It’s easy to create a million excuses, but as an acknowledgment of the fans and a tribute for all the group accomplished it would have been the right thing to do.
Cindy had a sweet voice perfect for harmony. As a potential lead there was always someone in the group who could do it just that little bit better imo. This being why she was seldom featured as a...
I do agree with your points on the relevance of the song being a disco hit and a signpost as to where the group might best be placed.
I do think the beyond twee choreography let the song down badly,...
I’m a little confused as you previously posted the song would never have been a hit, even with Scherrie on lead.
I...
“He calls says get dressed and i put on my best”. Yes sir, right away.:eek:
The song pushed the Women’s Liberation Movement back twenty years.
I think she would be extremely essential to any movie regarding the life of MJ.
Diana certainly played a huge part in his life, from moving into her house to co-staring in The Wiz. The fact he made...
That’s still a sizeable amount of prime time promotion. Look what happened with “Missing You” when Diana performed it at the American Music Awards. The power of tv.
I seriously doubt it, but do you...
I must agree.
There was fairly recently a major historical drama where a black actress was cast as Anne Boleyn. As least in this case they didn’t choose a white actress to play Diana.
Certainly not true in The UK where it received a considerable amount of airplay.
Most of those hits you mention have a catchy chorus. None of the songs you refer to from Supremes 75 album would have anyone humming along to them. Just my opinion.
Perhaps if “He’s My Man” had a...
I made that comment about going nowhere regarding “It’s All Been Said Before”. My opinion hasn’t changed.
”If “He’s My Man” was so knockout, why did it die a death. It certainly received enough tv...
What are your feelings regarding the casting midnight?.
When singing pop/r &b, Mary’s voice can lack personality being why there were so many split leads when a Supreme. Closer Together” is a prime example of this where Susaye’s voice adds colour and...
I think top #10 a bit optimistic, top #45 with a fair amount of radio exposure seems much more realistic.
“I’m Gonna Let My Heart Do The Walking’ is a much stronger track than anything featured on...
Thanks for the info reese. I thought Mary had referred to Midnight Love at some point when discussing their meeting.
Perhaps Marvin made some loose promise that was taken as literal.
Could we’ll be the case lol
I did a small spot of research on Kat Graham who appears to have made quite a few films, including successful tv work. She is also a singer with a few albums to her name....
There are variations, but for me still to much prancing around on all. Allowing for the time frame, it still comes across as being rather cheesy, and trying just that little bit to hard to please.
I agree brad, as i don’t hear anything in “It’s All Been Said Before” that signals a hit. Scherrie’s voice sounds unusually strained and it dosnt really go anywhere.
He’s My Man” was probably their...
Yea, that's true. He was definitely playing her something he was working on as i can remember reading the article. Wish i knew from where.
I agree regarding the choreography for “He’s My Man” being pretty dreadful. Whoever wasn’t singing lead should have been chained to their microphone stand on more then a few occasions.
Is this to be major motion picture or a made for tv film.
It’s been reported they met up one evening with Marvin playing tracks from his forthcoming Midnight Love album while asking Mary’s opinion.
I can imagine Mary asking Marvin if he might produce...
