If I had got into Northern, I'd more than likely be skint by now, given how obsessive about music I am, having to own all of the things I like. But then again, even the style I was into had its advantages, such as getting into Crown Heights Affair and Kool & The Gang before they went overtly commerical. And there are items from their respective commercial repertoires I like, such as You Gave Me Love and Celebration respectively.
Back to Diana, however, and having finally got around to listening to the delixe edition of 'diana', I can't hear what was wrong with the original Chic mix of the album - despite what Frankie Crocker told her, it would not have ended her career. That's just a Crocker shit.
