    He also wrote "Baby It's Love" by Diana Ross. Whether he wrote it specifically for her, I don't know. His stuff on the Originals is some of my favorite music from the entirety of Motown.

    In the past I've been pretty hard on Cindy as a lead vocalist, basically chalking her up to someone who definitely could sing, but her skills were in harmony, not leading. About a week or so ago, I...

    I think the shared lead "Sha La Bandit" might have been a hit. I definitely think "Can't Stop a Girl In Love" and "Color My World Blue" were the missing hits from the 75 album. Would they have gone...

    Honestly, I think Mary is just fine. The parts she sing is when the music tones down from the more forceful intro and chorus. I think if the tempo stayed the same from the intro to the end, yeah,...

    There was no way Motown Records allowed their artists to be in charge of what got released, unless the name on the record was Stevie Wonder, probably Smokey Robinson, maybe Marvin Gaye. Not even...

    I've always agreed that if being around Mary made Diana uncomfortable, she was justified in staying away. And Diana should have been livid with Mary about writing about Diana's love life- the parts...

    I can imagine the group voicing their opinion about the song, but there's no way any of them, Mary included, had veto power over what the label wanted to release. If Motown felt that strongly about...

    "Mr. Boogie Man" was funky. I love that one. So was "Dance Fever". I would have gladly replaced "Where Is It I Belong" and "That's Why" with both of these.

    Poor Diana. Never did nothin' to nobody. Somebody always doing something to her.

    And in other news, Elvis has been found on a Pacific island with Florence Ballard and Tupac. Full story at 6.:p

    The Marvelettes deserved to be asked. Let them decide who will and who can't participate. Half the people on the stage at the end of Motown 25 had substance abuse issues. I don't see why there...

    Actually she might have been the one who took it home. Didn't she write in her book about how the anti fur people would have to pry her furs from her cold dead hands? I'm paraphrasing, of...

    There's actually a thread somewhere in SD universe that I started around the idea of the Supremes and Diana Ross doing an album like The Dells VS The Dramatics, except on one side it would be the...

    I think this might be my favorite version of "Baby Love", a song I don't care for at all. I will admit that when it comes on at the beginning of Cooley High, it does sound particularly good for some...

    I'm thinking the only option Motown had at this point to make the lineup work was to bring in an outside producer not named Jimmy Webb.:p I think this grouping of Supremes would have been a dream...

    You might be mixing things up a bit. According to Florence, "I Am Woman" was requested of her, I guess by the event's organizers. Flo had to go buy the record, as she was unfamiliar with it, in order...

    And what happened to Diana's fur that she tossed onto the floor? Did the performers just kick it out the way?

    Maybe that's what Melvin was talking to Diana about.

    I always wondered what Melvin was saying to Diana.

    "You can take the girl outta the projects, but you can't take the projects outta the girl, huh Diane?"

    I love "Forever Came Today" and think it an excellent song. I just feel like it lacked a few things that might have made it a hit single. As is, it's an excellent album track.

    Very interesting...

    I've always thought it didn't make much sense for Martha and the Vandellas to be an entity around the time of the name change. When it was decided to add "Reeves" to the billing, really Martha should...

    It was Helen Reddy's song. Forever I thought it was the one the Supremes sang too, and thought it was a horrific choice of song for a benefit concert for a rape victim. I was so glad to learn that it...

    Yeah, I could hear her doing that justice. I always thought she would have really been great with "Mr. Big Stuff".
