"Mary called me on a Thursday and asked if I could come out to LA by Saturday because they had an engagement that next Sunday [[in Phoenix). So I flew out and went into rehearsal as soon as I got to...
In a February, 1974 FANCLUB NEWSLETTER, Mary says:
"We're trying on gowns tonight and just trying to get some gowns together for Vegas. We have to try to scrap up gowns because of the Mexico fire....
Back to the original subject; what exactly could Willie add that hasn't already been said? Love Mary Wilson, but by the time Willie got on the scene, Diana was waving her batwig in exit of the...
Remember Tonita LaTurners book? How she was SUCH GOOD JUDYS with Flo Ballard, and yet I've not once seen a single picture of them together.
EVERYBODY is BFF with the Supremes.
Not Over You Yet should have been to Diana what Believe was to Cher.
That fool. His gown book filled with pictures that have eBay watermarks? He's as phony as the names of the gowns he's given.
Corbino was announced in June, 2020 as the new lead. By October/November, 2020 he was already gone.
Corbino was very outspoken politically and I'm wondering if that didn't play into his demise in...
"Going Down for the Third Time"?
At work, our "muzak" often plays "Up the Ladder to the Roof".
One of the "oldies" stations in the Twin Cities used to play "Last Time I Saw Him" pretty regularly.
Several years back, I was at...
I started this thread in 2010; the DRATS Forum wasn't created until 2018.
No worries! :)
Smoke likes to dig up a lot. Did he also mention their roll in the kip? Lol.
No worries! :)
I don't have a record player either, so while it's exciting to see some reissues, unfortunately I don't have an interest in purchasing.
I'm still holding out hope for a...
One might argue that Jorge Ben, who Brazilian and Ethiopian, had 3,000,000 at his New Year's Eve concert in 1993.
I'm sure this is newsworthy due to Madonna's recent record breaking attendance of...
Yes, this is the Essential Music thread I posted a few days ago.
0.00%
But without a doubt you'll hear I WILL SURVIVE!
To that I'd add:
After All
Beginning to the Ending
Heavenly Father
Hey Baby
Save Me a Star
The Tears
You're Gonna Come to Me
Might be bold to say Flo suffered from alcoholism. Was she ever medically diagnosed? Not trying to stir the pot or ruffle your feathers, but how many documented examples are there of Flo being drunk?...
If you follow Elemental Music on Facebook, they've announced they'll be releasing almost 30 Motown titles this year, including The Supremes and Diana Ross.
What about the infamous scarf dance, lol.
Yes, I said that.
If you notice, this set [[and Reflections, and later LTSSI) have SUPREMES in larger font, and DIANA ROSS in smaller font.
Not to mention that "Nobody" probably should have been retired by 1967/1968/1969. It had been in the act since 1965 [[?); that and some of the MOR tunes [[like MORE) should have been updated with the...
Which, God bless Cindy, was delivered flatter than a pancake.
I still wonder about this "they had to ask Flo back".
I tend to think that if Berry "fired" Flo, then suddenly Cindy wasn't available, that Flo would tell BG to go F himself and the Supremes.
It always struck me as odd [[?) - not sure if that's the right word - for the Greatest Hits to be released under DRATS, when every single and track was recorded as The Supremes. I suppose it's just a...
