Thanks for this review. I wasn't hopeful that it would be all that it could be. After the Eddie Holland book, I thought this is a money grab. You would think with the ghost writer and an editor...
for a long time I thought this was Cindy and when they performed on Flip Wilson in the short white dresses, I knew that was Linda, and thought that she brought youth, energy and sexiness back to the...
thank you for sharing this. What occurred to me was, that is this chart was available at the time, the Marvellettes and Martha would of been pretty depressed...the fall off is pretty obvious and...
thank you Russ. Looking forward to your contributions from someone who was there...thank you for all of your great work, I really appreciate your making the sound of motown.
Thank you everyone for your update on Bluerock....I'm relieved and glad that he is well and look forward to his return. As an aside, it's one of the benefits of these groups, that even though you...
Anyone heard from Bluerock? I know he was going to be off for a while, but this seems longer than I expected. I miss his contributions. I hope all is well.
Thank you Carlo, I very much appreciate your help. I've just re-ordered it. ps We met at the last Diana Ross concert that she played in Toronto at the O'Keefe Centre [[ Hummingbird , or whatever it...
I'm not sure I'll be able to get this CD because Amazon.ca cancelled my order indicating they can't get the product. When I listened to this I didn't have any qualms with Mary, it was the anemic...
I just received notice from Amazon.ca that my order was cancelled. It looks like they can't get the product. Who did you order from Carlo? I can order from Amazon.com and pay 19 US and then...
Thanks Glencro...that was fun...such talent.
I was always curious as to why she didn't get more attention because of her obvious talent and wondered if maybe she was difficult to work with.
Kim has such a great voice and when I listen to her, she's very comfortable with what she can do with her instrument. She sings like her voice is an instrument that she can mold and she's just so...
I've always wondered how much control they had over the songs and who the producers were. Who made those decisions? Who was in their corner at this time? I agree this was a strong album and should...
I've listened to this a couple of times and wonder why they bothered. Motown's original orchestration is so much better. I don't like the mix either, the Andantes are muted in many instances or...
Thank you Jack020. It's a lovely song and we love Gregory Porter and now love T.O., too.
Diana Ross and the Supremes Live at the Talk of the Town. The Supremes at the Copa. Judy Garland at Carnegie Hall.
Happy belated Birthday Soulful Detroit. Thank you Ralph and Lowell and for all the contributors. I've learned so much and been privy to knowing when and where special motown products were being...
That's quite a workout. I'm surprised they had enough breath to even sing, and they weren't either. And they were smiling....that's alot to do. Strange filming too, they liked someone's bum.
I too found the book detailed but difficult to read....it really needed an editor. Sometimes items were just dropped into a sentence for no apparent reason....Dionne Warwick being in a bar and...
When her new album was posted on Amazon...I pre-ordered three different versions, the CD, a double vinyl with cassette, and an alternate vinyl. I've cancelled all but the CD. I got caught up in the...
The upbeat version. I find the album oozes sadness. I can pick a song or two at a time, but overall it's not an album I can play right through.
I think this is a great idea. Especially "Don't say nothing..."....there's a wealth of great girl group songs that could have been mined and treated with respect.
A & S could reinterpret their own...
Yes I can hear Mary too, but they tend to emphasize the soprano voices more, and I don't hear Florence.
I didn't mind it. I liked the orchestration and the energy and Marvin. They really had to augment the track with female background singers...I missed the top notes from Tammi. I would have thought...
I was revisiting this album and didn't remember that it was their 2nd highest charting album. I was curious to read though, there was the original album and then one mixed by Russ Terrana. I've...
