I love Dionne, too... but her voice has pretty much gone up in smoke, literally. Mary is still in excellent condition, and Lulu's pipes are untouched by time. Last I heard Lloyd Price, he still sounded amazing, too.

Amazing! I just watched this clip about an hour ago! Now here it is again. Lulu has always been a very soulful singer. Like Mary, she is able to really put across feeling in her singing. Dionne, I am sure will sound fine depending on what she chooses to sing. If each of the performers are to sing from the Beatles catalog, I'd like to hear Lulu sing "Yesterday", Mary Wilson sing "Let It Be" or "We Can Work it Out" and Dionne Warwick do "The Long and Winding Road" or "Strawberry Fields". Just my personal choices.

He does. I got a new CD by him about a year ago with all standards on it. He did a good job on them. I was amazed that he was still singing. One of the first records that I bought as a kid was PERSONALITY. A favorite of mine on the CD was Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow.
The show at the Apollo sounds interesting. I posted a review of his CD here

8 Days a Week would be a good one for Mary as well as I always liked how she sounded on her part for the Supremes performance on one of those 60s teen music TV shows.

Did you get good seats for the Apollo gig? I'd like to go, but a family member is scheduled for a major operation that day. Looks like I'll be missing a good show.

There seems to have been a huge tribute last night in NYC - with current artists, John Legend etc. and Stevie Wonder. It's in the morning newspaper. I will look for it online later.

I guess it wasn't this show.
