... for me, especially any Ray Parker outtakes. In retrospect it MAY have turned out better as an entire Parker production.

I was so-so on the lp at the time, then fell in love with it when the Funkytown EE was released. Lots of great material and productions, and as always Diana's singing.

Tracee has indeed capitalized on her family history and created her own as well. Not many comic actresses can star in 2 long-running series and attract the number of social media followers Tracee...

He still calls for the death penalty for the CP5 along with daily lies and corruption.

Ha! I would not call IHAS a 'bulldozer' but I can't argue with your logic! It does indeed capture the listener 'by sheer force' and Diana's iconic delivery.

Sounds like a fascinating listen; thanks for finding and I'll report back. Best to you -

Yup. POtuS's behavior should be called out, repeated, and never 'normalized'.

Good advice I shall follow.

Not sure I agree; DLMTW would have been a great Diana performance but may have been too 'samey' after LH.

I like, and will listen to in your rating order! Thanks -

After having seen the Broadway musical 'Ain't Too Proud' I went on a Tempts LP listening binge. The group has a solid post-1980 LP discography; I'm wondering what we think of those LPs?

A career-favorite of mine as well. I did not know that Ernestine Ross had been a singer; interesting.

Absolutely in!

True, and as we know (sadly) Mary Wells was a tad issue-y. A talented and beautiful lady but I don't see that she had quite the star-power to transcend eras. I would tend to think the same about...

It's a difficult call to make. Ignoring him totally is a good option, though that means the reprehensible behavior continues. How about we try it, though? I'm in!

Love it; speak truth to power, Linda!

Agreed, and understood by almost everyone. And I love both Dusty and Chris; not sure if Dusty had a hindering effect on Chris or not, but I do wish Chris had recorded more. She's had a good...

Good choices. I've actually always thought of Stevie as quite political, even as early as 'A Place In The Sun' and his cover of 'Blowin' In The Wind'. And
'Living For The City' in his godhead...

... I have 2 last words: Chris Clark. Didn't do her career much good, did it? :rolleyes: Just maybe he recognized Diana's all-around star power? Hard to face the fact, isn't it?

I was thinking that. Perhaps Diana strained her voice before this show by laughing hysterically at the memory of his rude a%% being dragged out of a concert? Gotta hand it to Ross (as always) -...

Because Diana's voice was the one that mattered. Next?

A great haul for a good cause - the jealousy never ends, does it?

Where ever that picture is from the lady looks gorgeous!

Interesting, but nearly 4 years old -
