ANMHE was the perfect FIRST SOLO SONG and they messed that up for Diana. But either way, both songs got to be anthems for her and soul music so I'm cool.
I don't think it was a mistake, but it is interesting to ponder what releasing Mountain first would have done for the momentum of her solo career. My final thought might be that it wouldn't have changed things much if the follow up singles were still the same.
