Mary said she could tell people were sitting there, arms folded, saying "show me." I'm pretty sure Diana Ross felt that exact same pressure every time she stepped on stage in 1970. "Let's see if...

Spreadinglove--I couldn't say it better myself. We humans have a need to simplify things--we want there to be just one reason why someone left a group. In DR's case, it was many things, culminating...

I gave this a shot and it's good, but to me, Scherrie is a lot more understandable. I just think she sells it better. I think Scherrie really jumped out the radio back in the day.

Uhg, Getting a variety show was a death sentence for a singing group in the 70's. Ask Marilyn and Billy. The only singer who got a show, but went on to have hits afterwards, was Cher. That...

Speak freely, my friends

Will we ever see this kind of class and grace again? Lizzo just ain't doing it for me, guys. Anyway, Mary comes off classy here but not snooty. She really did have the persona to stand toe-to-toe...

Oh for God's sake. I was just kidding and I never said anyone was vicious. I was jokingly saying don't flame me for being in the minority on this issue. This is exactly why people don't want to talk...

I went back and watched that clip again to make sure I wasn't going crazy. if you go to 1:20, and watch Lynda and Mary singing "ooooh ooooh," Lynda's mouth forms an "O" but Mary remains smiling and...

Really? Go to 1:23. the backing vocal starts and Mary misses the first line completely

Did we just watch the same clip? Sorry guys-it's not the worst live clip but come on. Half the time they are singing the wrong words, Lynda is forgetting to lip sync some of the lyrics, and Mary is...

Oh thank God, Ranran. I remember Helen Reddy's song as a kiddie, and the sentiment was, I guess, great for the early/mid 70's. But if it had been that dopey song from the 60's--I would have hurled...

Wait a minute. Was this I Am Woman from the 60's Supremes shows? "I am woman, you are man?" Or did Florence sing I Am Woman, by Helen Reddy? If this was just a rehash of something the Supremes did...

You've sold me on this book, Jobete. You should be in sales!

I don't know! I'm just saying that after reading all the books and social media on the girls, it just seemed to me that DR would have been stellar at anything she did, and could have easily been...

I think she'd have followed her father's insistence that she go to college and get a "real job." I always got the feeling Mary and Florence took singing more seriously than DR at first, but when...

I haven't read this book but I guarantee I will. Is there anything about the Bluebelles [[Patti, and the ladies)?

I agree, Supsy

I'm with you, Thanxal. Scherrie was great with dance material. She could breath life into the most dreary lyric or song. I personally think Scherrie is the best singer to ever have recorded with the...

Jobete this will be my last post on AI since it is off topic, but what's absolutely terrifying is that we have no laws, no one has, to combat "deep fakes." What is to stop anyone from creating a...

AI will take over every job it can do as well or better, for almost nothing. The things I see coming, having been in the tech field for 25 years, is not pretty

Tastes changed in the 70's--my generation. The Supremes could not have moved forward using the same formula that worked the previous decade. As a kid, I found this album current and excellent, but...

Time and Love. The song everyone recorded but nobody liked. Especially me.

I agree that that's Mary. after the 2 minute mark

Once you get past the annoying vjays, this 1985 MTV retrospective is pretty interesting. If you look carefully, Nona Hendryx, Mary Wilson, Diana Ross, Martha Reeves, David and Eddie, and all kinds of...

I never heard that Berry hated Stoned Love
