I 'get', but am not sure I quite believe or agree with Diddy's 'un-canceling' these two. Seems a tad 'early' & insensitive to me in both cases. We can completely avoid the...

Indeed. Sometimes things ... just don't happen. My best guess is that Hathaway was celebrated for his album with Roberta Flack and all concerned, if they thought of Aretha & Donny at all, may have...

I recall a year or two ago being in a public place [[Target, I think) and seeing a girl of perhaps 5-6 years old thrusting her hips, pointing at her crotch and rapping something like 'you can get it...

I've long thought that a more socio-political version of the Love Child lp coulda/woulda done the trick. That said, lots of us [LC lp as it exists, so it's somewhat of a conundrum. Several members...

The sad thing to me is that some of these performers perhaps do have talent but need to/want to debase themselves with the full-on b-door squat. I don't know what creeps me out more, the performer's...

Fun read [[or listen, if you prefer!) Nice to see Stevenson with a headline mention.

I'm back to thinking I'll pass on this one, BobbyC! But I do thank you for your info. Of course I realize that behind-the-scenes activity is not what we fans see, but I prefer to remember the...

Musical performance or toilet paper ad? 19724

Now THAT'S a teaser! Did you think he had any talent at all, Ralph? Other that The Bonnie Connection I'm not familiar with Bowen.

It will be interesting to see how public interest in this release ends up. With all due respect to fans I will be very happy to pass on this one. For me the lp was played-out by overexposure decades...

Great news, BobbyC! Of course the personal stories can be fun but I'm all in for the career info! It's always interesting how songs sometime take a while to 'bubble up' with the 'correct' performer....

Does the book focus at all on their music? I've always been interested in the Pointers' decision of who sang what lead, harmonies, etc. The gossip? Whatevs.

I'm not really a fan of the outside-Motown covers ... there are a few gems, but very few.

Spare tires are now on our waistlines instead of our trunks, Ralph! 'Ya get a bit of a seal 'n pump thing, if you are lucky. Did the dealer work in a 'market adjustment' as well? And ... just how did...

Yes! That coulda/woulda worked! But the more I think about it, with the many good ideas here I still come back to the release date. If the lp had been on the racks during the single's chart run I...

A nice performance of an all-time favorite. This is a 45 that I always think should end up on 'best singles ever' lists. Just perfect all around. The guitar intro, the general vibe, the falsetto 'Why...

Well, what do I know;) Glad you like the cover and I can see your point - to me it's more of a back-cover look, and a little Pickwick-records re-release looking than a great Motown cover. I will...

BEST post since Ralph's additions to the Stoney & Meatloaf thread! Can you see me bowing in thanks? :D

My guess is that the relatively low chart success was, as others have said, due to: changing public taste, overabundance of Supremes albums, and maybe a less-than-stellar lp cover. There may have...

The lady lived in style, and sure earned it -

Hard to take this topic seriously. I'd go with Captain James' comment as good-enough to claim Diana's story as being the far superior one; extreme vision and stoic ambition resulting in incredible...

I'll go with Laverne Baker.

Yes, I third that. I would have loved to have heard better things about the book, but I have to say that at this point in time I'm not shocked that Duke has faulty recollections. I wish the book...

You're right, friend Tom - a BIG Stylistics influence. Be well!
