"Nightflight" Tue Aug 20, 9P-12M ET: Diana Ross Tribute...FINALE!

[supremester]

We saw Gloria Gaynor join Miss Ross in Newark - it was a fantastic disco moment in history......Miss Ross was quite gracious and supportive of Gloria and loved sharing her stage & song - even helped Gloria find the key when she realized it was too low initially

It was the ultimate I Will Survive Experience!

[Methuselah2]

I'm so into the great music--I just took a scissors to my pajamas and added a little fish-netting here and there.

Well Joseph maybe when the show is over you can give us the full lists from both of your shows. Bravo great selection

[supremester]

I didn't think this possible: Joseph's selections are rivaling what I would have chosen - she lives in us!

I love the videos I have seen. I would have loved to have been there for that moment. Tone and I saw Diana at the Los Angeles Amphitheatre at the very beginning of "The Force..." Tour. We lucked out so cool. Stevie Wonder was in the audience and joined Diana on stage for "Force". They just tore the place up! Then Rhonda and whole bunch of other people joined them on stage. People were just blown away. I felt so fortunate to have been there for such a rare performance. Just awesome!

That's Why I Call You My Friend was commissioned by the Emperor Of Japan because the country loved If We Hold On SOOOO VERY MUCH. I believe the song can only be released in Japan but don't quote me

I'm so into the great music--I just took a scissors to my pajamas and added a little fish-netting here and there.

Looks great!

You're right Gregg. It was first just a 3" single in Japan and then later added to two other Japan only collections.

[Methuselah2]

SHE'S THE IDEAL GIRL

That's when Ross spins 'round and 'round in the multi-colored Baskin-Robbins dress--had all the flavors . . . er, colors.

[Methuselah2]

Which discs are available with a pledge? If not, they should be! Tonight's, too!

[texassoul]

Hi John. Just back from vacation. Leaving to sail Nantucket next week. Hope you've been well.

[Glenpwood]

Joseph the emphasis on album cuts [[particularly the post 1981 ones) really debunks the theory put forth in the Ross bio books that Diana's material and career suffered once she gained artistic control. These songs were very savvy choices in their time of release.

[Methuselah2]

Just loved hearing GONE.

Forget that dr.'s appt.--St. Joseph's Aspirin for everyone!

[lovechild]

Thank you for including I'm So Happy.... why why why was this not a huge hit ...

[midnight johnny]

Mike.....so happy to see you again!!!! Enjoy the BIG island when you get here!!!

Even as a long time fan I have had to grow into some of Diana's projects. And as I was putting this together I realized how over time I had really grown in my appreciation of the RCA years. I seem to enjoy them much more now than I did it the time. She recorded some really wonderful during that time. Songs that have stood the test of time.
Years.

I'm here too Johnny. Listening since "Dr Goldfoot" - out walking. Really enjoying the show sophiscated_soul. Hate that I missed it last week. I can never get enuff of Ms Ross

Big beautiful Full Moon out there tonight

[texassoul]

How far is it from you? I know nothing about the area. I'd guess everybody and their dog will be there for Labor Day! Looking forward to seeing that part of the country.

[lovechild]

[midnight johnny]

[sophisticated_soul]

P.S. nice to be back here live. Been listening in while traveling.

Good to have you back!

[skooldem1]

Oh man. I can only catch a little here and a little there now, and I already missed "I'm watching you". That was my favorite song from that album.

[lovechild]

Too Shy to Say is a huge reason why many of us cannot wait for the remastered Baby It's Me ...

[texassoul]

Good to have you back!

Thank you. Luving the shows!!!

[Methuselah2]

Well on the blue cover Meet The Supremes those same dresses are white!

Nope. Nope. Nope. Just call me 'Carole' but the MEET THE SUPREMES dresses have a much smaller neckline than those on the WHERE and COUNTRY covers. It's true.

I got some CD's from Iceland or Denmark that had I'm So Happy on them, otherwise it was cassette only. I remember because I must have sent out 500 replies that it was "cassette only" and I then had orders for 502 copies of that cassette. LOL Oh, the days of licking stamps, envelopes etc....

Miss Ross in a very Rodin mood. She's thinkin' 'bout your setlists--and I bet she loves 'em. She should! As Aunt Florence would say: "S.S., child, you've gotten too good for my vocabulary!"

[lovechild]

oh ok, I just remember getting my copy of it from you.
