I remember my mother waking up so that I could see this, as it was past my bedtime.
I think RTL was already being discussed when the combo DREAMGIRL/SUPREME FAITH was being put together. In the new section, Mary writes about the fake Supremes groups as well as the FLOS. She ends the...
I can't remember the first time I saw Diana and the Supremes as I was a small child. But I definitely remember seeing their last appearance on Ed Sullivan when I was barely three.
I think that was just patter to set up their performance of AQUARIUS/LET THE SUNSHINE IN. If Deke thought that was a dig, he would have cut it out. And if I remember correctly, Diana said something...
The 1972 Supremes appearance is included.
I bought Pitts' book REACH OUT: THE DIANA ROSS STORY when it came out in 1983.
If I remember correctly, Cher didn't actually write an introduction. Her statements were a series of quotes were...
Here is the entire program from which the Motown doc in this thread came from.

I think they bought the Golden World studios at some point in the late 60s.
Deke wrote the following a while back, and Blackguy reposted it a subsequent thread about FAREWELL.

I believe the engagement was 10 days but the album was recorded over three nights.
I don't think there were any vocal problems with the Central Park shows, maybe a few sharp peaks here and there. On the contrary, IMO, some of her best and strongest vocals were in songs like ENDLESS...
Love the photo, although it doesn't match the era they are highlighting.
You can see Suzanne dePasse and Michael Masser in the opening shot of the special. I believe Freda Payne was there as well.
Honestly, I don't think there's any criteria to this list. It is just a list of this person's favorite singers, compiled almost 10 years ago. He or she might very well have a totally different line...
I was always a huge Diana fan, starting from a small child. LOVE HANGOVER came out when I was in maybe the 4th or 5th grade. That was a popular song with my peers but I think Diana was thought of as...
In the Andantes book, there is a quote from Rita Lumpkin-Daily. She said she and a friend went to a Motortown Revue at the Fox in Detroit. The Andantes were singing from behind the curtain and a girl...
Actually, December 1992 was a good month for Diana as she had two specials: CHRISTMAS IN VIENNA and DIANA ROSS LIVE: THE LADY SINGS...
I always take such declarations with a grain of salt.
Recently I could have sworn that they were saying Mariah Carey was the biggest-selling female artist. Then at one point, they were saying it...
I don't think that there was any criteria for this list, other than it's compiler, joud_55 just made a list of his or her favorite female singers. This person has other lists on the site as well such...
I think FIGHT FOR IT was removed to make room for ALL OF YOU. But FIGHT FOR IT ended up as the b-side of SWEPT AWAY.
At the time, I remember SOUL magazine doing a review of the Forum concert. I wasn't able to "borrow" the issue it was in from my local library. But I wouldn't be surprised if the set list was...
Re diana 1981, every guest aside from Quincy Jones and the Joffrey Ballet are deceased, and even some of the Ballet members might very well have left us. Not to mention Muhammed Ali is shown during...
IMO, Victoria wasn't really much of a singer. As I remember it, Andy carried most of the song.
I always like Andy. At one point, he was the co-host of SOLID GOLD and brought Victoria on to sing their version of ALL I HAVE TO DO IS DREAM.
Usually this is the only song from the LAZY AFTERNOON album that I play.
