So in other words, y'all saying I need to re-watch Mahogany and pay attention?:o

So in other words, y'all saying I need to re-watch Mahogany and pay attention?:o
Someone posted an article in the forum right before Sarah died where she said she was involved in taking care of Cindy. One of the articles about Cindy's troubles did say that Scherrie was with David...
Aww man, Brad, Diana is the poster child for "Not Everybody Should Have Total Control", my latest documentary. Be on the lookout for it.:p
I understand her need for control. She was in her mid to...
I agree. I've said before that with the original trio, you had three friends from the same neighborhood who had been together, by 1967, for nearly a decade. You can literally watch them evolve from...
Thanks Reese. I was thinking it was late 70s, circa The Boss, but I wasn't sure. If it was used in Mahogany, then it was much earlier than I thought.
Can anyone date this photo for me? As in, what year?

I agree. As I understand it, the song was doing fairly well until "Hangover" was rushed out and all the promotion was put behind "Hangover". After "Hangover" peaked, it may have been a good idea to...
I think all the singles- minus "Your Love"- had top 10 potential. Ross78 as a dance album after BIM could have been huge.
Oh some of the single releases were ridiculous, for sure. But I do think had "You Were the One" been released and promoted appropriately, it was a surefire hit. I think it would have done better than...
I've never cared for the title cut, but admittedly after the first couple of spins of the album when I first purchased it about 20 years ago, I really haven't sat through the entirety of the song....
I'm guessing what, if anything, Rochelle had in "writing" wasn't legally binding, as she is now out of the picture. This POA dude was legit but obviously stealing from her, so now he's out. Chucky...
That's probably only in cases where there is no other overseer. All the folks I've known who have gone into nursing homes, the family [[and insurance when applicable) has always been responsible for...
Am I crazy or has it always been reported that Cindy's husband was Charles and her son was David? Maybe he was David Charles or Charles David. Or maybe I made David up in my head.
Poor Cindy just can't catch a break. Hopefully now that her son is in charge things will go much better.
It's so disgusting when people take advantage of those who are incapacitated. This dude was...
Yes, it was successful in the "general sense", again, despite all the reasons why it shouldn't have been. The album was going to get a certain amount of attention because it was Diana Ross, so that...
In a way, I think disco was forced down the throat of the masses. By that I mean to say, as Sup says everyone and their mother was releasing something disco, that it wasn't that the public only...
Artistically speaking, it could have been great. Motown needed a huge jolt. I think it would have been a winner if Diana's return to Motown was also Mary's return. Regroup with Cindy, release an...
I have been sleeping on "Touch By Touch", but it's been something of a jam for me in recent weeks. I agree, exploring that direction could have been really interesting.
And I love "Oasis", but...
She would have done a duets album with Martha Reeves before she reformed the Supremes at that point.
She would have starred in a remake of Mahogany, with the candle wax dripping scene replaced...
I didn't realize "Heartaches" had made it into the act in any form at that point. I'll have to check my collection and see if I have that medley.
While I think the "Mary" reference would have been way too weird during RTL, outside of that I wouldn't think Diana singing a Supremes song and referencing her singing partners who sung on the song...
The album version with the full slow vocal part is my favorite part of the record. But obviously the single version is what became the hit, and most of it is comprised of the danceable part. IMO, the...
Thanks folks.
So as far as the Supremes go, "Back In My Arms Again" was retired after Diana left?
Sup is probably right. Without checking for accuracy and going off of memory, I'm almost positive that Aretha beat all those 1970 numbers for Dionne.
As for Diana, if true that she was the only...
Anyone know if "Back In My Arms Again" and "Reflections" have been in Diana's shows since she left the group? Also was "Back" ever in the act during the 70s Supremes shows?
