    OK, I think I can speak on the marital abuse from experience. My mother was a battered woman. I watched it helplessly for 12 years. Not only is there emotional damage done to the wife but to the...

  6. Glladys Knight & The Pips "Standing Ovation" lp revisited

    I think possibly the main reason for getting rid of WDOLG is that they could never recreate the song anywhere close to the studio recording. It was actually quite boring when done live.

    If Mary didn't like being controlled she wouldn't have stayed with an abusive man for 7 yrs who beat her ferociously and drained her bank account. Pedro Ferrer was far more controlling than Berry...

    It's not the Motown didn't like Mary, they just felt her contribution to the Supremes was more in image instead of talent. Mary had a deep singing voice much like Tina Turner or Anita Baker. In the...

    I LOVE the single edit of Stoned Love. I thought repeating "don't you hear the wind blowin'" was a stroke of genius. I never liked River Deep but the single edit is also superior. For Stoned Love...

    Many of the fans love this album, but I remember being underwhelmed. Motown was stingy, giving us barely 30 minutes of music. Two more tracks could have been added for sure.

    I think the saddest thing to me about all this was that going into the 1980s, and thereafter, the press pidgeon-hold Mary's stature. She had previously always entertained reporters interested in...
