Chaka recorded a song with the same title for her FUNK THIS album.

On this morning's TODAY SHOW, they did a short story on the upcoming concert. They mentioned some of the artists taking part and said that Diana was going to be the closing act.

They also noted...

I tend to think of the Marvelettes' IN FULL BLOOM and the Vandellas' SUGAR AND SPICE and NATURAL RESOURCES albums in much the same way as I think most of the Supremes' post-Flo albums. All of them...

When Dionne appeared on WATCH WHAT HAPPENS LIVE!, host Andy Cohen tickled Dionne when he showed the scene of her spitting in the face of her master, Stephen Boyd.

I don't remember Janet as Josephine. But Janet was supposed to play Lena Horne in an ABC movie but it was nixed after the Super Bowl fiasco.

Maybe the end of HOME on THE WIZ soundtrack.

Could be. If you have confidence issues, you might want to stick with what you know works. And she did update it a bit with the addition of QUIET NIGHTS.

It might have been interesting to hear...

In an interview with REACH OUT, Cholly Atkins said that they had other things for Mary to do but she had fallen in love with CAN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF YOU.

I met Diahann at a book signing for her first book. She was the first celebrity I ever met and the only one that left me speechless, as she was absolutely beautiful. She actually had to ask for my...

I think Billie Jean Brown's department was in charge of compiling the albums.

Thanks for the info.

I do have HBO but HBO Max only seems to be available during promo periods. But I haven't tried what you suggested so we shall see.

I suspect that Gordy might have thought if he gave HDH their own imprint, he would be opening himself up to similar demands from Norman Whitfield, Ashford and Simpson, and other successful writers...

I don't think the group ever made a truly bad album. There are just some that I like more than others.

For me, the classic period was from 1964-1967. In that era, I think WDOLG, MHBTS, AGG, and...

I remember going to see SAVE THE CHILDREN as a small child. To me, it is just as good as SOUL TO SOUL and WATTSTAX. And like them, it should be on dvd. :D

In the movie, I recall most acts only doing one song. Marvin might have done a couple but I haven't seen the film in a while.

On the album, again, each act only got one song. But Marvin had three....

Performances by The Pips, J5, Tempts, and Marvin Gaye from the Expo were used in the film SAVE THE CHILDREN. Motown issued the soundtrack album.

Three albums were issued on Gordy. Another, WHY I OPPOSE THE WAR IN VIETNAM, was issued on Black Forum.

This was from a tribute to Elizabeth. I don't recall if it was a birthday celebration or whatever. I do remember that MJ sat with her throughout the evening and Patti LaBelle did a great medley of...

Actually I was on vacation. :D But seriously, the only thought I had was that it was probably taken at the 1970 family reunion that was mentioned in one of the Diana books. But I had no clue who the...

It probably depends on the circumstances but I don't think using a television clip lets you evade clearance. When the Ronettes were profiled as one of the 100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll, VH1 had...

I wonder if it had anything to do with song clearances. I remember an A&E Biography on Marvin Gaye that used basically none of his Motown-era stuff. They would just mention the titles of his hits and...

Many thanks for posting this. I've been listening to it during my lunch hour. I have about 20 minutes to go but it has been very interesting so far.

MTM did lightly touch on Flo's departure but as I recall, it really wasn't in-depth.

This sounds like it will be good. I can't wait to see it, as the 2007 doc really didn't have the time to go into real depth.

I hasten to add that I hope it airs on HBO proper and not only HBO...
