Diana "no-show" for Barry Gibb - Kennedy Honors

[marybrewster]

One thing I should add, as to lighten the "I'm trying to bash Diana Ross theory", is when Barbra was talking about working with Barry, she basically said all he wanted her to do was sing her song the same way 10 times, and he would take care of everything else; the arrangement, the backup, the mixing, the orchestration, EVERYTHING. I'd like to believe that Diana likes to be more involved, and likes to be a part of the process. It's almost insulting to just "sing" and then have zero input on the finished product. Diana is much more talented and creative than that.

Almost like, just show up, put on a pretty dress, and sing oohs and aahs, lol.

“All she had to do was show up”. Sounds strangely familiar.
