100%
100% agree with you on both points. Celine Dion also did a fine version many years later, but it is Ike and Tina's version that is head and shoulders above all the others in my opinion.

5.30 plane was originally recorded by a group called Picardy who were a studio group put together by Jimmy Webb. He wrote and produced the song specially for them in 1968. The Love Generation also...
I thought "Truly for you' was a strong album.
I was not aware of the Stephanie/Kelly situation. I have never encountered Kelly but she is a very talented lady for sure.
I am sure you will enjoy Ms Baker's show. I have never known her to be less...
Definitely more difficult than Dame Shirley! Ms Bassey is a pussycat in comparison to Ms Baker but i am sure you will enjoy the show. The lady sure as hell knows how to entertain.
Anita Baker is a fantastic vocal talent. She is probably one of the all time great soul/jazz vocalists but she is hands down the most difficult celebrity i have ever encountered, and that includes...
It was her choice to include So Close and I am me on the album. It had little to do with the actual quality of the songs, both of which were quite dreadful, but more to do with the fact that she had...
It was a nice song but nothing more in my opinion. It was good promotion for the Voice of Love album which sold well over the Christmas period that year. Diana herself liked the song and she chose...
She did two performances of this on UK TV. She did Top of the Pops and The Des O'Connor show.
Correct. She does not appreciate her privacy being invaded, but she is usually civil and polite if approached in a respectful manner.
I don't think they did aside from the demos of course.
He was a very special talent and was so comfortable in so many different genres. I never tire of listening to that wonderful voice.
Sadly Diana did not care much for this album. She was reluctant to promote it and she felt it was a step down from Force and Take Me Higher both of which she really liked. She was very unhappy on a...
I love William Bell. He can still carry a tune. This is a great article Heikki. Thank you as always for your input.
It's certainly one of the better cuts on the rather dismal Fools album. I wish someone like Michael Masser could have been producer. He would have got more out of her, but it is an undeniably nice...
It's up there with her very best ballads. A beautifully produced and performed song that really was a "lost' hit.
A heartbreakingly stunning performance.
BGO are doing a great job with these Mathis reissues, and they have no immediate pans to cease with the reissue programme. Great remastering and always excellent sleeve notes.
Lamont's solo albums in the 70's and early 80's were generally excellent. I never tire of listening to them. I agree with you regarding the work he did with Aretha on Sweet Passion. Lamont was the...
Ha ha. You are on form today!
I was always under the impression she dedicated the song to her daughters. I have some vague recollection of her telling me something to that effect. She always...
That is a sad fact, and i fear that even Diana's passing will not alter the situation.
I did not want to get involved in this topic again but i have changed my mind because i feel that i have something valid to add to it. I do not for one second believe that Diana Ross was responsible...
It was a 6 cd set containing Rufus, Rags to Rufus, Rufusized, Rufus feat. Chaka Khan, Ask Rufus and Streetplayer, but it did indeed omit Stompin and Camouflage.
It was something along those lines. By this time i had almost lost the will to live. My blood pressure was going through the roof. I realised i was getting too old to be running around trying to...
Yes she was but there was a backstage disagreement and Donna decided not to take part.
