Sarcasm, am I right?:p

When I was in the 7th grade, during an announcement for a sock hop we were having, they played "Come See About Me" over the intercom.

I once heard "I'm Livin In Shame" at a homemade jam competition.

It made everyone very uncomfortable.

"Come Together"?

Ollie's references were a long time ago. I'm guessing Diana has mellowed a lot over the years.

What's interesting to me is that we're in 2024 and people still believe money buys happiness, or...

Cool interview!

The description of Mary's performance of "Eyes"...The one she did on the Live In Japan album I would also describe as stunning. If she was equally as good or even better than that...

I know everyone has stopped holding their breath over expanded editions or new products, but one of my dreams was to get the Ballads and Blues album, sort of like how we got There's A Place For Us....

Yes, all of CWP was originally recorded in 1963. The album that was eventually released had all re-recorded vocals in late 64. I just wasn't sure if "My Heart" did or not.

I've said before that I think one reason Flo might have kept quiet was because her drinking could be brought up in retaliation. It was taboo at the time, so that would have been something that might...

DFTMC lists two versions of "My Heart Can't Take It No More", completed on the same day. The version I have on my laptop is from the boxset, which is the single version. The other version is on the...

Agreed, but I blame disco. Lol

To be fair to the group, going back to the sixties, there was some unnecessary speeding up of songs in the live act, so they kind of already had a history of doing...

Which reminds me, has anyone checked on the person I call the Ironic Screenname? I've noticed he hasn't been here in awhile. Looks like he hasn't posted since last summer. I have him on ignore so I'm...

I would think that was to be expected. The myth that the Supremes were Diana Ross was not how the public viewed them. She was one third of a unit and people don't like change, especially if the...

They really were, but they didn't have to be. We could have had some great discussions- and we often did- except somewhere along the way things would get derailed. Fingers were always pointed at...

Hi! Are you new here?:p

Absolutely brilliant performance. These three had such a great blend. Would've been interesting if Motown had seriously gotten into the instrumental game when Love Unlimited Orchestra and MFSB...

I don't care for the Scherrie lead versions. The one with Mary, Cindy and Scherrie trading verses is great. I play it a lot. Hit? I don't know. Maybe.

I think the Supremes recorded theirs before Aretha did. I love Sandra Wright's album, and she does a really nice version of "Bandit". I'm going to have to check out those other versions of "Bandit".

Diana's disco performances were super hyped. Mary's strength is not super hyped. Her strength was in her coolness. But how cool can you be when your singing partners are flying high all over the...

I really didn't care for "Lovelight" for a long time. It just didn't do anything for me. But in the last several years I've come to really dig it. Diana turns in a great vocal, keeping up with the...

It's been my experience that angering someone drunk is an easy thing to do. If she went on stage pissed about a comment regarding her weight, I would think by the end of the show the pissed-offness...

I agree. But that's Motown for you. Get one right, get six wrong. Rinse and repeat.:cool:

I think pushing them into the disco arena was a big part of this. If the group had settled back into sophisticated soul, some of this mess could have been eliminated.

Cool.

Perfect word to describe Mary. Going back to the 60s, Mary always had this air of "cool" about her. I think someone in the forum once mentioned that Mary seemed to be the hip dresser of the...
