So are you saying more than one dance hit [[LH) would have been perceived as a threat to her level of respectability and legacy around that time. If so, they might have been plunged into troubled...

The point being, none of us were there so how could we possibly know if they weren’t being overly exertive in their quest to be given something more than oohs and ahhs to sing.
For all we know Flo...

Sadly for her that doesn’t seem to have been the case as they might have been able to offer help. We only have others testimony as to how her personality changed after the rape.

Perhaps if BG had taken just a little more interest in Mary’s potential as opposed to being totally focussed on Diana alone she might have felt a little more motivated.
She was also probably less...

I love me some Marc Almond. Such a charismatic performer.

Diana commenting that Flo was her own worst enemy revealed a complete lack of understanding of someone suffering mental health problems. I would hope that she has since revised that opinion...

She might well do, but i don’t think it adds up to much.

As long as it doesn’t get to be a habit lol.
Although for various reasons not commercially successful, MS&S remains a slick and sophisticated album that still sounds contemporary today.
I’ve...

Not a criticism by any means, but i think Diana has always been totally immersed in her own family to have spent much time grieving over Mary Wilson. The two women had not been friends for many...

I disagree. I love the album, but don’t hear any obvious hit singles. “Gettin’ Ready For Love” was played to death on the radio, and danced to on a prime time pop show here in the UK. Still it only...

If i could ask her anything, i would love to know how she feels when reflecting on that time period, especially if she would have done anything differently.

I hate the instrumental break on the single version, but don’t think the song had potential to climb much higher.
I really wish BIM had contained a killer dance track. “Your Love Is So Good For Me”...

I would say it’s a mixed bag, starting with the trouble she had getting along with other female performers while at Motown. Producer Gary Katz had said working with her was the low point of his...

I agree, as we got to hear more of the sultry and irresistible Ross voice.

I award them to myself all the time. :rolleyes:

Being a huge tennis fan myself, i wonder how good Diana actually was at the sport. She has been spotted at Wimbledon a few times, so assume it’s a sport she enjoys watching. Would loved to have...

I’m guessing it less likely than the expanded Reflections album ever seeing the light of day.:eek:

I was thinking something a little more driving then “One Love In My Lifetime”.:rolleyes:

[QUOTE=sup_fan;795763]

So as long as you get on with the odd band conductor, it’s ok to treat your assistants like s—t by instructing them to avoid eye contact and writing a public letter to...

Although “BIM” is a fine album, i don’t hear any top ten hits. This is where the problem lay, and i assume why the intended follow up was abandoned.
A dance follow up to “Love Hangover” would have...

I agree with many of your points that Diana had potential to be ruthless as regards her career advancement. That’s why i was making the point that her loyalty might waver if asked to do something she...

I would have thought the massive success of “Love Hangover” would have provided some indication as to what direction might work well.
It’s true disco hadn’t exploded, but it was steadily gaining...

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...
