Shut your Pie Hole TWTR4EVER, The opinion of a Geriatric, Hispanic, Tranny Stewardess is as Irrevelant as your Yahoo, "Mary Wilson" Fan Club, 6 Weeks of Post Secondary Eduction does not make you an itellectual and a Career spent @ Glory Holes & Stalking Troubled Teens, doesn't give you The "Moral Authority" to Lecture Diana Ross about ANYTHING
@TYK1986 Funny its soooo much better YET they ONLY PLAY the SUPREMES with Diana on Lead version..this dosent even come close to Diana's version. not even close. first she sounds as if shes struggling to breathe.
@blkshepherd Everyone got their own opinion on songs. There's no need to react so negative. Yes ofcourse the supremes version is played far more often. Doesnt mean we all like it better.
@TYK1986 Word of advise, blkshepherd is a vile Diane Ross devoted "Dorothy flying monkey" and is from the group that with all proof of the Diane Ross LONG TRAIL OF BACKSTABBING DECEIT will always blame others of being HATERS AND NOT SIMPLY OBJECTIVE OBSERVERS OF DIANE'S TRAMPLING OF "THE SUPREMES" FOR HER OWN PERSONAL PROFESSIONAL BENEFIT!
Lets see Billboard magazine named Barbra Mcnair as the greatest female entertainer of the 20th century right??? oh wait they named DIANA ROSS, haaa haaa jealous bitches.
@whatigot2say Billboard Magazine like The Kennedy Center Award and all others she has (except The Tony) are negotiated by Studios, Managers or Artists themselves!
All meaningful and truly validating AWARDS achieved by THE VOTE OF YOUR PEERS like THE OSCAR, THE GRAMMY, THE EMMY and the most PRESTIGIOUS " THE ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME" (they are inducted a THE SUPREMES, not Diana Ross & The Supremes and she never will as a solo) ARE "NOT" ON HER MANTEL!
Didnt seem like a Motown artist.....too sleepy too slow. More classical than anything. Pretty lady inspired by her show in the late 60's RIP Ms B. MC Nair.
@christheone8773 Keep in mind that the only artist at Motown that got what you call "the right push" is call Diane Ross and that's because she had the undivided attention of Motown boss Berry Gordy because she was his adulterer lover, mother of their "LOVE CHILD" Rhonnda Gordy!
This gave Diane also the power to have THE SUPREMES changed from a FEMALE TRIO to a LEAD & BACKUP SINGERS showcasing only her talent while keeping Florence, Mary & Cindy in her shadow!
@TWTR4EVER You are so right about that - It seems that every artist, male or female, got the short end of the stick when it came to moving on up at Motown- YOU are also right about Berry - even when he was dating Diane, he was also seeing Chris Clark, a white California born blonde whom Berry was crazy about because Berry loved her singing - when Diana and the Supremes were on tour, Chris knew of Diane's presence but Diane never knew about Chris' presence-
I'm a fan of Invictus/Hot Wax Records, Holland/Dozier/Holland, Freda Payne, Chairman Of The Board, Glass House, Laura Lee, Honey Cone.
Motown owes their success to them, without them artist including The Supremes would have remain no hit wonders!.
We are in accord regarding Berry and his neglect of specially the female vocalist (Mary Wells, Brenda Halloway, Barbara McNair, Chris Clark) which it was due to the pact Diane & him had!
@TWTR4EVER THANKS - just like you, I LOVE anything on the Invictus/Hot Wax labels - it took me a while to figure out that Holland-Dozier-Holland was behind it all---- I have read both of Mary Wilson's biographies (Dreamgirl and Supreme Faith) and this is where I got most of my info from - I love the part where, when Mary, Flo, Diane and Barbara (Martin) first came to Motown, and Diane spotted Berry Gordy, she had made it up in her mind that she was gonna get him - (continued)
@TWTR4EVER Mary and Flo were baffled as to why Diane would find him so romantically appealing - but it soon became clear that, when the Supremes were getting successful, Diane began to distance herself from Mary and Flo - there was a time when all three were sharing a dressing room, now Diane had HER OWN (with her name on the front!) and Mary and Flo were sharing a much smaller dressing room-----
@christheone8773 Diane has a well earned reputation for been calculating, manipulative, opportunistic and a shrew man user!
She knew that laying Berry will not be sufficient that's were getting pregnant by him came into play!
One of my best friends worked for NBC at the time of the taping of TCB & GIT On Broadway and it was in the latest that aired in November 1969, two month prior of her official separation from The Supremes that she was out of control and impossible to deal with!
@TWTR4EVER I have BOTH of those albums (smile) - In Mary Wilson's book Dreamgirl, during a break in taping the GIT on Broadway show, The Temptations, Mary and Cindy, and even Martha and The Vandellas were sitting around a piano singing their old hits, talking and laughing and having a great time - Diane just sat off to the side, watching them all have a great time, knowing she couldn't join in on the fun - (continued)
@TWTR4EVER Even when all three groups were in the studio hallways laughing and getting crazy, Diane stuck her head outside her dressing room door and ordered EVERYONE to STFU! If THAT'S not a prima donna, I dont know WHAT IS - but they all ignored her and continued having a great time - Diane was ordering everyone who worked for her to call her "Miss Ross" - The Temptations thought that calling her that HAD to be a joke, because they all knew her as a young kid at Hitsville-
@christheone8773 Martha Reeves & Mary Wilson are great friends, Martha's bad blood with Diane goes back to the 1960's when Martha Reeves & The Vandellas were often left up to their own devices to promote and market songs that were already hits ( I Can't Dance To That Music You're Playing) and Motwn/Berry Gordy's obsession with Diane will neglect them causing that a songs that could have been #1 be left to linger in the top 10!
Diane was bitter 41 years ago imagine dealing with her today!
@TWTR4EVER YOU certainly aren't wrong about that - Martha Reeves even recalled an incident in their early days of traveling, there was definitely a rivalry there - even when the Motown crew were in England in March of 1965 hosting the Ready, Steady, Go Show, Dusty Springfield, who was the mistress of ceremonies, personally invited Martha and the Vandellas to sing with her on "Wishin' and Hopin" - Martha even claimed she could see Diane backstage, just eating her heart out!!
@TWTR4EVER YES, that is so true - Gladys and the Pips were definitely feeling the fallout of the royal Motown snub in the early 70s - thank goodness they were able to take their name along with them when they left -
@christheone8773 Gladys Knight keeps nothing back on her autobiography "Between Each line Of Pain And Glory" when she makes it very clear that in 1968 she & The Pips were scheduled to be the opening act on The Supremes tour and Diane personally had her removed because quoting Diane, "they were too good"
@TWTR4EVER LOL - I guess Ms Ross was never one for any kind of competition, huh? I read in her unauthorized biography, that, she NEVER really compared herself to any other female African-American or Caucasian singing artists, except for Barbra Streisand - When Diana Ross and The Supremes released their "Funny Girl" album (at the same time when the movie AND soundtrack were released), Streisand was reported to have been livid, especially since the DR&S release used the same music arranger-
First, Florence once she made that statement Mary for years will take the abuse and move on, Cindy from day one knew better, besides, Cindy is an extremely religious person with not an once of malice. Towards the end she supported Mary but let her do the bitting!
The Funny Girl album, which honestly I love was a commercial fiasco!
@TWTR4EVER ur a complete fool if you think gladys has surpassed diana in anything.. Ross is selling out to rave reviews all over the world. who even thinks or remembers gladys? no one.. Ross career is off the charts in acheivements. gladys is a 70's soul singer. not even in diana's league.
@whatigot2say If you think I'm a fool, please you are A ROSSMANIA IGNORANT CLONE!
Diane Ross IS A HAS BEEN, her tours (The 2010 Tour) was a SUPREMES REVIVAL mostly in the OLDIES REVIVAL CIRCUIT. ( The Hard Rock Live Indian Gambling Hall in Hollywood Florida, capacity 5600)
Gladys Knight is a TALENTED PERFORMER, something Diane Ross claim but has not achieve like many other attributes SHE HAS SELF AWARDED LIKE DIVA!
Ross career "off the charts?" For DECADES, NO RECORDS ON IT!
@TWTR4EVER that's funny. comparing a r&b 70's soul singer like gladys to an international superstar like diana. in the worlds of patti labelle "diana ross is a living legend; not in her own mind .. but in reality" gladys appeal is limited as well as her talent. Hail DIANA!
@whatigot2say Please any R&B singer usually and certainly when it pertains Diana Ross is a more talented singer than any POP singer, I already quoted her company in THE POP CHARTS!!!! (The Archies, Disco Duck, Topo Gigio, Tiny Tim, Alvin & The Chipmunks and dozens of others with her qualifications, I could include JUSTIN BIEBER but Diane Ross has not been in THE POP CHARTS FOR DECADES)
@whatigot2say My friend, you can spin this any way you want , creativity has nothing to do with facts, if you have any kind of intellectual development within you, beyond your bias towards your preference and taste you can see the light!
The Pop Charts are for the masses, the masses many times have very little intellectual and artistic knowledge, they seek entertainment, that's when Diane Ross comes in, pretty to look at, lots of glitz, very little substance!
@TWTR4EVER so amazing that all these fools rehashing the diana & berry relationship (50 yrs) fail to acknowledge her remarkable talent. this song is living proof. it went no where sung by barbara mcnair but put diana's magical voice on the song and it skyrockets to a world classic. say what you want no one's voice has the magical quality that diana's does.
@TWTR4EVER You goddamn SHOE LICKER get a life. diana dont give a rats ass about you. who gives a shit about you or your lying ass best friend. You talking about diana sleeping with berry but nothing about Mary sleeping with married men Namely TOM JONES STEVE MCQUEEN FLIP WILSON..ALL MARRIED. she had a boyfriend in every city her Own Admittance. If your gonna bring up about diana why not bring up about mary you goddam shoe licking bellie crawler..Your a Lonely Bitter FAG HOG WITH NO life.
