And she received a standing ovation as a result. If we imagine Flo's career if it re-started in 1977, I think Flo would've probably tried her hand at disco first. Maybe she'd do some ballads a'la Angela Bofill. In the early 80s maybe she'd cut some stuff similar to Gladys and the Pips, like "Landlord" or Dee Dee Sharp's "Dee Dee" album. Whether or not she would've had any hits would've depended on song selection, as I figure it does with anyone else.

My dream project would've been if Flo, Diana and Mary regrouped after Motown 25 and cut a Pointer Sisters "Breaking Out" type of album. That would've blown the public's mind.
