Judging on the Spotify streams, I'm sure they play Ain't No Mountain High Enough to prove "yeah I listen to the oldies" and then move on to '80s stuff that seems to be the "new oldies". :)
Otis was likely touring with the Temptations. Brenda... when's the last time she's been in the public?
Flo hired some of the worst lawyers when it came to getting out of Motown, that's for sure.
Call Her Miss Ross was definitely the music equivalent of Mother Dearest like... GOOD LORD. I know Randy tried to correct it years later but yeesh... who knows what goes on in Diana's mind when she...
Exactly. She would've had a second life in the disco clubs. Just imagine...
Diana, Mary and Flo needed each other IMHO. They made the Supremes a household name. Whatever happened after that [[that was great) was just the icing on the cake.
First time I heard of this but it wouldn't surprise me. Flo was a true team player. I think Diana was probably more intimidated by Mary and Betty but Flo was one of those who saw something in you and...
My take may be a bit controversial but I feel had she not joined the Primettes, she would've pursued her dreams of being a fashion designer and model and not a singer. There really was no path to be...
The only original Supreme/Primette to make it to 80. Bittersweet feeling. Mary, Flo, Betty and Barbara should be celebrating 80 years too. Happy belated to Miss Ross.
Biracial actress... yeah lemme keep my mouth shut lol
Wow, the surviving members of the Motown "family" showed up for Miss Martha. IKTR! :)
I personally think the family stole that money from the kids.
What could've been. *deep sigh*
RIP Flo.
I used to get excited for those BBC Radio 2 things when it was related to black music. Now it's like "meh". But I'm sure some of the UK fans will eat it up!
Imagine going from Funkadelic to doing a ballad with some cheesy pop producer lol that's exactly what it felt like. LOL
I'm still confused by who was the guitarist on IYM. People have said it's Nile but others say it's Jeff Beck so I don't know who's telling the truth [[though Nile is credited with playing guitar on...
Beats me. I think Diana would've found herself stuck anyway because the early '80s was not a great time for female pop-R&B artists prior to the arrivals of the "new blood" like Whitney and Janet.
...
Because that would have broken up the Andantes and I doubt Louvain was even considered as an official replacement. Marlene joined them a few times though, didn't mean anything in the long run.
Yeah the Tempts were basically hipper with the youth than the old Vegas crowd that was now being entertained by the Sups. Berry definitely should've found a way to make it that the two would...
One thing I noticed about the RCA material was how old fashioned everything was. Like you said, if Diana was tried to appeal to that era's young listeners, she didn't play her cards right by adding...
Funny Girl furthered the group's decline, as well as Motown's [[well Berry's, let's keep it 100) aspirations on Diana's emerging solo career. The material had not been hitting on anything and I think...
You said it all there!
I don't know if I buy this tale... lol
That does NOT sound like Miss Diana Ross. :)
How odd that that album - Swept Away - Diana and RCA basically had this "throw everything at the wall to see what sticks" method, which is why you have:
A rock-ish dance song [[title track)
Power...
