nope and that's why none of them did it!
Honestly, Diana Ross was so over the top that her being whisked away in a helicopter is just what you expect.
Dionne Warwick COULD'VE done a free concert at Central Park if she wanted to. Simon & Garfunkel weren't the flashy, flamboyant acts that Elton and Diana were.
Aretha could've performed in Australia if she got over her plane issues.
Good illustrations to make a point.
Would Dionne Warwick not do a free concert??? I’m just not sure how many people would have shown up - probably not masses.
I don’t think Aretha skipped much of anywhere which was probably your point - at least not after the age of 10
I went to a Dionne show in Delaware maybe 10 years or so ago and my impression at the time was that it was some kind of benefit because she had others on the same bill with her. I remember Jean Carne was there, The O'Jays, Glenn Jones, and at least three or four others. I "think" Melba Moore but don't quote me on that. I don't recall the cause they were celebrating but it was something of a charitable nature. But I guess that doesn't necessarily mean that the stars donated their time.
Well there’s some bounce in Jumping Jack Flash - not sure about skipping.
Maybe I should confine my comment to saying Aretha wasn’t a flyer or an athlete; but she must have bounced and skipped at times in her younger years and she certainly was a singer.
ya, I don't think her stage persona is of one who jets around the stage ...
but anyway,
this is just intended as a lightweight thread ..... not for getting into anything heavy like this
