How did those around you enjoy her set? Did many take this as an opportunity to run to the bathroom or to the concession stand? Or did they pay attention to the performance? Or ignored it and...

When I saw Rhonda open for her mother a couple of years ago she did a few of her own songs, but also included a cover of "Somewhere" from West Side Story so there was one familiar song for some of...
I wonder if Willie Tyler and Lester ever had a time when their relationship was as toxic and intense as in this episode of The Twilight Zone--The Dummy?
...
Doesn't sound he goes very indepth about their songs and how they were written/structured which is a shame given he's a noted songwriter himself and knows something about the topic.
In a few weeks...
Sounds like their show at this point was still largely the same show JML were doing when that line up came to its end.
Looks like her show has been reconfigured so that instead of having Rhonda open for her, Rhonda now performs a few songs midway through the show so Diana can take a break.
I'd rather Diana sing...
In other words Free to be you and me was the most successful album, sales wise, that Diana Ross ever worked on.

Diana does a nice job singing When We Grow Up. I'm surprised she didn't explore doing her own Children's album in the 80s, especially something tied in or as a follow up to Central Park concert as...
What did Smokey Robinson have to say about Bacharach and David's songwriting?
Even if her participation in this came through working with Danny Thomas [[and it's a good theory) Motown would still have had to grant permission for her to be on this project as she was under...
Well it's a children's album so that may be why it's billed as being by "Marlo Thomas and Friends" rather than "Marlo Thomas and associates from the worlds of show business and sports".
And...
Ann and Nancy Wilson of Heart are back on tour and will be doing shows for the next 6-7 months. Right now Ann is singing everything live, but doesn't appear to have much voice left. And she doesn't...
One Supremes song that doesn't seem to rate much discussion, it seems, is Lovelight. However it was the song that gave the group their first top 40 hit. What was it about this song, in your...
How about the FLOS touring with Diana Ross as opening act? That could free up Ross' set list to do less Supremes songs [[though she obviously can't skip them entirely) and more of her solo songs. ...
Fans reading too much into something re: anything Supremes related?!!! Perish the thought!
Ever hear of a song called Love to Love You Baby? I suspect Love Hangover came about to capitalize on the success of that song.
Green Onions came out in 1962. Was this a song he danced to at his college graduation?

Based on this reply perhaps the thread should be called "Why Did Motown tolerate Mary Wilson for so long?"
AS we know Mary spent decades on the oldies circuit doing a Supremes/oldies show with her singing lead on the Diana led recorded Supremes/DRATS hits. It made her a solid living. Some of those Diana...
Well obviously Mary's book precluded any chance of a Surpemes reunion in 1989/90. But if it had happened and Motown released an album there were a lot of female groups around in 1989 and 90: Expose,...
Mary often did Reflections in her show and it's one of the Ross led Supremes songs that she did well with.
Mary did Back in My Arms again a lot as well, usually inserting the names of whoever was...
If Donna Summer's Love to Love You Baby hadn't been such a hit, would there have even been a "Love Hangover"?
I'd say success of the song is 50/50 split between the production and Ross' vocals. ...
No, not Margo Channing as Margo was already an established star. I'd say, going outside of All About Eve, Lora Meredith in that scene early in Imitation of Life when she's outraged when the agent...
