haha - whoa we agree on something Ollie ;) jk
i've said it before. the BIM project is lovely but just not what was happening at that time. it has a more traditional, innocent pop sound. and...
i don't know how much they'd have been able to resurrect ITITALT. Ain't Nothing But A Maybe or You're Good My Child are strong tracks too that might have done well. obviously nothing like LH but...
i don't disagree You Were The One would have charted well but i don't know that it's really "special." The Boss is special. it was a totally different sound and it totally diana. YWTO is good but...
my guess is she was so hyper focused on proving herself, that she didn't need Berry and Motown, that it raised the perfectionism to new heights. and yet she was so sloppy when it came to her...
i was never really keen on the title track either but on the EE, the refreshed version seemed to pop more. it's funky but there's a bit more life to it than the original IMO.
and i wouldn't say...
agree. YLISGFM is fine but relatively generic. there's nothing generic about LH. similarly with the Sups. I think Where Do I Go From Here is nice enough but any group could have sung it. whereas...
exactly. the group of superfans on here are committed to the history due to our insane devotion to this group. we've read everything we can get our hands on and commit it all to memory. we trade...
no i was point out the differences. her perfectionism was total - in all aspects of her life. the role of the conductor is much more clearly defined than that of assistant. if you F up as the...
exactly. the combination of the two styles was perfect. the track is just a supremely hot one.
i don't disagree that One Love isn't the most iconic of songs. but i think it could have charted higher than it did. one of the problems is that the single was remixed and included an additional...
the sort of tried that with One Love In My Lifetime. out of the cuts on DR 76 that's about the closest thing to another disco tune. and of course there's the story that Don't Leave Me This Way was...
when you talk to many of the people that have worked WITH diana, she's not an out of control diva. she's very demanding but also gives much. like to gil and her other conductors, her band and...
this was never viewed as another but a 1X thing for DMC. there was never any talk or interest in DRATS reuniting. Diana was barely willing to do this one night, as she really wanted nothing to do...
see i think one of the biggest problems isn't that motown wasn't promoting her product. it's that her product was especially weak. You Were the One is clearly the standout on Ross 78 but it's not...
completely agree that motown botched the sales and promotion plans for BIM. while it probably would have been a challenge for it to have #1 singles or even top 10 singles, the released struggled to...
of course this sort of falls into our "what is a hit" discussion. BIM was successful in the general sense but us fans of course want everything to go to #1. and given the quality of the music on...
the medley goes
Baby Love although sounds like Susaye starts out wrong with WDOLG but then they all sing WDOLG. the intro is absolutely the BL intro and with the oooooo. but who knows. it's a...
i have an audio of the Caesar show. there are moments when the audience is quite engaged and happy, like at the end of Maybe This Time.
for the hits medley, there's a voice doing a [[poor)...
was that the Mary lawsuit against the FLOs?
i'm not 100% sure of the exact timing. i thought Mary's book just said "it was around this time..."
When did the Temps reunion occur? was the over and done prior to M25? Didn't the Tops...
but that was the outcome of how the evening progressed. the original plan was for a full medley of hits plus Someday. none of the groups really had a unique stage except Marvin doing his...
i think you're absolutely right about this being a game changer and a perfect reinvention of DR.
and let's look at this timeline too
64 - she's the pop ingenue with the sups. they're...
my guess is that disco hadn't TOTALLY overtaken the pop industry yet, as it would with Saturday Night Fever. BIM was released just a couple months prior to SNF. prior to this, you still had a...
i think the old station wagon story isn't so much about 1 specific incident back in 1961 or whenever. it was about who you were "with." Mary even mentioned this. that Berry knew mary was also 100%...
