    Interesting the screening of The Wiz for a Saturday evening when Mahogany has never been shown on UK television.
    Looking forward to Diana at the BBC, hoping there is something i haven’t seen before.

    And most important thing of all, remember not to push and manhandle a fellow female performer in front of an audience. It’s never a good look, being what really caught the media’s attention.

    Although i have always loved the album, it was perhaps a little overly r&b orientated for what the public expected from the Supremes. A lighter sound might have proved more popular in the vein of...

    It might have been fantastic, but extremely unlikely Diana would have been prepared to share the spotlight at such a high profile, once in a lifetime event as Central Park.
