    No, that's not it. I searched for it today but couldn't find it. I'll do some more searching tomorrow. The photo I am thinking of - and I saw it well over thirty years ago - was the cover of the...

    Ref the Swept Away album cover pic, I have seen a photo where her hair isn’t a Mohawk; rather, it is her full mane, albeit spiked. It looks like the photograph was cut to make it into a Mohawk.

    I wouldn’t introduce someone to the Supremes with their earlier hits. They do sound rather dated - I mean WDOLG, BL, CSAM. I’d start with some edgier mid-60s hits, when HDH were at their songwriting...

    But that is the entire point: the juxtaposition of their sophisticated evening gown look with their funky upbeat kids-loving hits. Appeals to both the parents watching, who would go on to pay high...

    Flo’s wig though, augh. Diana and Mary’s wigs are stylish, but Flo’s looks like a turned up mop.

    But the vocals are perfect. I wonder why Diana starts ever so slightly when she looks at Flo...

    Are Cindy and Mary actually singing live in this performance though? Or are they lip-synching to the Mary/Flo/Andantes backing track? It sounds like the Andantes to me, but I am not sure.

    I do...

    Define 'soulful'?

    For me, it means not sounding too MOR.

    Diana's least MOR recording to my ears is the duet with Ray Charles, Big Bad Love.

    Then again, the rocking Fool For Your Love,...

    I love TMH. I bought it at the same time as I bought my first house. Whenever I put it on, it takes me back to those times - buying furniture, decorating, the hard work of renovating....

    Nice interview. At the hight of her EST phase, I think.

    I love her hair - so much nicer than the wild frizz of the 1980s. Is that her natural hair?

    My two pennies on Randy.

    I think he really, really, really loves Diana Ross. In the mid-1980s wrote a very - um, fawning - book on Diana called Diana that had a lot research, had a lot of detail,...

    Ah, The Wiz.

    Look, I love me my Miss Ross, but she was horribly miscast in this. The problem is that she played Dorothy as scared and timid; I suppose, "being 24", she had to. But Dorothy isn't...

    That's the amazing thing about Diana Ross, and this is a phenomenon that perhaps applies to her more than any other artist: different songs of hers are hits in different countries. I remember dating...

    She was never going to stay at Motown. Have you never heard the lyrics to I’m Coming Out? It’s all about her bid for freedom from Berry’s control.

    Interestingly he doesn't mention that in the studio recording of YKMHO, Miss Ross' vocal was multi-tracked - in effect, she's duetting with herself with two different vocal takes. This obviously is...
