Amen! I shudder to think what sort of stupid stuff I did before hitting 25 [[or, let’s face it…35! ;))
Whenever I hear/consider stories about Diana’s behavior [[especially during the 60’s), I just try to remember that she had Berry egging her on, too; her natural all-consuming ambition and...
The expanded booklets are just as sublime as the music!
You did it for massive fans like me! I LOVE your website and am so glad you did it! All that archived material is a dream come true!
I totally agree - she’s great here and, frankly, the competition probably only makes her better!
Does anyone know if The Andantes were instructed to try and sound like Mary and Flo? If this was addressed elsewhere, my apologies…
Love it! It’s so reminiscent of this, right?!

I never heard that - fascinating!
What I understood from the story is that he was able to get sales numbers and figured out himself what she had coming in platinum and gold records, not that he somehow got her and the Supremes...
Reflections is way up there for me - I even like to think that both Flo and Cindy are on there somewhere…
Point taken but this doesn’t help to validate her claims, either - it’s simply more to consider. I have no idea what really happened, either, but I think it’s an easy mistake to always believe...
Well, it’s worth noting that two of Joan’s other children deny Christina Crawford’s tales of child abuse....
Diana doesn’t seem to “push” anything - she did very little press for THANK YOU [did she even do any?] - it’s just not her thing, so it didn’t surprise me when she seemed to have little involvement...
Why would you even have that idea? And how could she even “stop” them if she wanted to? We’ve been very lucky to have as many expanded releases as we’ve had so, if even if your theory was correct,...
YIKES!, right?
Ha! Actually, it’s a real testament to her that that line doesn’t sound even worse than it does! Same with
“Out of the pot she ate
Never used a fork or a dinner plate”
Cringe!
And now at this moment, I’m going with this from A-Go-Go’s “Baby, I Need Your Lovin’” [[quite possibly my very favorite bit from her/The Supremes ever):
“In the midnight hours, When I reminisce...
And, at this moment, I’m going with a bit from LILAIIMH [[especially from the live version on Sullivan):
“Now, when you're ill
You take a pill
When you're thirsty
Drink your fill
What you...
SO many to choose from! At this moment I’m going with “I cry not for myself, but for those who’ve never felt the joy we’ve felt” from IHAS..
Amen! He is sorely missed…
Thanks for the info!
Don’t know how much of a part they play, but The Supremes are in this new book about girl groups:

“The Supremes and...
But at some point shouldn’t it be just as much about preservation and celebration as it is about profit? Especially for a massive mass media company that is surely not hurting for money?! I know, I...
I’m not even a major Beyoncé fan but that clip made me quite emotional - it’s so great to see Diana still doin’ her thing and getting all that love…and when she says to B., “If you need me, call me…I...
