I was watching Morning Joe on Tuesday, 5/23/23. David Remnick was on promoting his new book that was released that day. The title of it is Holding the Note: Profiles of Popular Music. David Remnickis the editor of the famous New York magazine.
I was astonished to put it mildly no mention was made in his appearance of Diana Ross. So I googled the book to see what I could learn. From what I could determine from the Random House presentation there are 11 chapters in the book as follows:
Leonard Cohen
Aretha Franklin
Buddy Guy
Keith Richards
Paul McCartney
Mavis Staples
Charlie Parker and Phil Schaap
Bruce Springsteen
Luciano Pavarotti
Bob Dylan
Patti Smith
No mention in the index of any Motown singers being mentioned. How in the world could he not include a chapter on Diana Ross?
So don't buy the book as she got NO COVERAGE. Unbelievable.
