Thanks, I needed this. :)
I remember it this way too. Mike Love was apparently feeling the spirit of the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame moment and felt the need to [sarcastically] comment on the absences of two of the most...
Yes, I really liked this, too! When and where was this? Nice energy and I never heard her sound better. She almost made me forget Diana, but I still missed Florence on the background. I've also liked...
I say 50:50. I think Hal Davis and Diana Ross are equally responsible for the recording's commercial and artistic success. It was stunning the first time I heard it on DR76. Hal Davis produced one of...
Your favorites [eras & albums] are exactly the same as mine!
I'm also glad it worked out as it did, the last #1 for DRATS and for the decade of the1960s. I had my doubts on first hearing SWBT, it being so different from previous DRATS singles. But it's an...
Where Did Our Love Go [always!]
Upside Down [Diana Ross solo]
The two standouts for me:
DMF - The early [1965] Hullabaloo with Back In My Arms Again and You're Nobody Till Somebody Loves You.
MSC - Star Spangled Banner acapella at the boxing match.
Lol, Boogiedown. Just tell us how you feel, why don't you?
But your last statement is sacrilegious! I think there's a reason MWIEWY endures as a Greatest Hit despite not reaching #1. It's a great...
I was underwhelmed on first listen when I bought the album in 1975. I agree about half being good [but not great] - It's All Been Said Before, Color My World Blue, You Can't Stop a Girl in Love, Give...
She wanted to look down on all the Motown magnificence she & Berry had created/wrought! :):rolleyes:
Truth, LoveSupreme, still, 41 years on.
Coming on 60 years of Ross bliss now, but if I have to list my Ross Go To's over the decades:
Supremes:
Where did Our Love Go
Come See About Me
You Can't Hurry Love
You Keep Me Hangin' On...
Fun way to revisit classic Motown drum intros! Thanks for all the links, Gary.
My favorites are:
Nowhere To Run - definitely the favorite - always gets me excited
I Heard It through the Grapevine...
Loved reading this, Boogie.
I have to apologize to all of you. My reply to spreadingloves post [#8] was not well-thought out itself, to say the very least.:[[ I liked his thoughts on the subject of this thread, except for the...
I like it! I haven't heard this song sung this way and it's a very nice change.
I like Boy Toy because 1. It's so very Girl Groups, a genre where it's all about the boy.
and 2. It totally objectifies males.
You're absolutely right, Boogie, but in my case, it is 60 years of exposure.
I love having both versions, too. Thank you, George Solomon & company! I will need to listen to the EE to see if I have a preference. Do you?
I love that Jule Styne worked with the group in the...
Dislike => Like: I Want a Guy - This was one I hated from the beginning, but I do like the EE version with just Diana because it's like listening to her first solo recording.
Meh => Like: I've...
I like the album and I'm personally glad it was not shelved. Among the group's specialty albums, imo, it is second only to Sing Rodgers & Hart in conception and production. I love how Diana Ross had...
Lol. Not so funny is that there may be someone[s] here who is[are] probably "just a bit" disappointed. :cool::rolleyes:
Good points, sup_fan, that I mostly agree on. I think of the duets albums as specialty albums so my expectations wouldn't be on the order of those magnificent singles You Can't Hurry Love, I Hear a...
I thought Why Must We Fall In Love was the only choice for a single from the album, with For Better or Worse a good B-side, but you're right, Stubborn Kind of Fellow would have been a very good...
