"love is like an itchin' in my heart ..............and baby --- I can't scratch it!"
QUESTION :
Twelve seconds in, Diana gives a "woo" that she'll use again in the future , most famously on LOVE HANGOVER and then works it to the max on THE BOSS , which was then, I suspect, borrowed by Michael Jackson and made into a trademark sound of his own.
Back to the question:
Is Diana's first use of the "woo" heard in 1966's "ITCHIN"?
In this performance, Diana does a second woo as she works her way back to Flo and Mary, and shortly thereafter, Mary does a "woo" of her own.
