Guest Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I love Diana Ross's vocals, but I have yet to hear a tune that inspires me, did she ever make any decent soul music other than the over-played chart stuff?
Alan Pollard Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I love Diana Ross's vocals, but I have yet to hear a tune that inspires me, did she ever make any decent soul music other than the over-played chart stuff? Diana did a wonderful version of "These things will keep me loving you" on her 1st album, worth the price of the lp alone. Regards Alan
De-to Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 love is like an itching in my heart/hes all i got,motown 1094 is not too bad?? stormy by the supremes?? is also not too bad imo. most of her 80s/90s stuff imo is not very good.
Ian Dewhirst Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 I love Diana Ross's vocals, but I have yet to hear a tune that inspires me, did she ever make any decent soul music other than the over-played chart stuff? Try these:- "You Keep Me Hanging On" "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart" From the Supremes era, "One Love In My Lifetime" "Love Hangover" "The Boss" "No One Takes The Prize" "It's My House" "Missing You" From the Diana Ross era Best, Ian D
Citizen P Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Quite like And IfYou See Him, Has a feel of All Up to you-The Dells Tony
Tabs Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Come see about me. Just listen a few times. Deffo a developing sound / style.
Simsy Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 stormy by the supremes?? is also not too bad imo. That's the cred one. Got a clip of an early one by her and the suprems at work. Always loved 'come see about me' fond of 'stoned love' & plenty of others. Gordy love certainly took her and Marvin's career's to the top of the Motown pile.
Simon T Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 Gordy love certainly took her and Marvin's career's to the top of the Motown pile. 'Fond' of one and the other married to a sibling
Simsy Posted January 12, 2008 Posted January 12, 2008 'Fond' of one and the other married to a sibling Poor old Smokey couldn't sh*g his way to the top, so he just named his kids after them.
Guest rachel Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 The Supremes' 'Will This Be The Day' is a nice sweet girly tune - flip of 'Love Child'.
Raresoul45s Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Try the b side of Baby love Ask any girl Its not bad heard it played a few times at venues.
Guest Mark Holmes Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I Like "Nathan Jones" & "Happy as a Bumpy Road" as well as an unreleased version of "In My Lonely Room" I think she was rising as a solo artist as the Northern soul scene was moving in a different direction, for many she was the epitome of black american music for others she was identified with the commercialism we weren't looking for.
Crumb Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I Like "Nathan Jones" & "Happy as a Bumpy Road" as well as an unreleased version of "In My Lonely Room" I think she was rising as a solo artist as the Northern soul scene was moving in a different direction, for many she was the epitome of black american music for others she was identified with the commercialism we weren't looking for. I was going to say Nathan Jones myself but wasn't it Jean Terrell singing lead on this. I think she got the job because she had a similar voice to Diana Ross.
De-to Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 hope these supes tunes work ok, https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Supreme...In_My_Heart.ram https://www.soulclub.org/stream/Diana_Ross_...es_-_Stormy.ram https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Supreme...Lonely_Room.ram https://www.soulclub.org/stream/The_Supreme...s_All_I_Got.ram
Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 IMHO: Nothing but Heartaches Back in my Arms Again These Things will keep me Loving You Uptight In and out of LOve Someday we`ll be Together
Guest ShaneH Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 i agree about the flip to 'baby love' - 'ask any girl' is really good imo shane
Guest in town Mikey Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 If you want straight from the heart, gut wrenching, That artist really f####ing means that shit soul, then listen to the live version of 'Someday We'll Be Together' on the Ten years of Motown box set. I've said it on here many times, you cant get the hairs standing up on your neck if it aint soul. And WOW that track is just about as good as it gets.
Guest Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I LIKE STORMY CHRIS There`s a few other good ones on the same CD all unissued,got somewhere but cant be bothered
Sharon Cooper Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 I love Diana Ross's vocals, but I have yet to hear a tune that inspires me, did she ever make any decent soul music other than the over-played chart stuff? Imho Dianna Ross is totally overrated and has never made a decent record, made records yeah,some stuff with the Supremes was ok and aimed at the pop market. but other motown females were far more talented and over looked.
billb Posted January 13, 2008 Posted January 13, 2008 Any girl in love (knows what I'm going through) The way you hesitate to kiss me Makes me cry sometimes The way you never seem to miss me Makes me cry sometimes But i never bother To wipe the tears from my face 'cause i know another tear Will fall in it's place Holland/Dozier/Holland

Guest outonthefloor Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 I like Touch me in the Morning ....... but thats anova thread entirely!!! Helen XXXX
Guest nusha Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 youve been so wonderful to me / Hes All I Got /Reach out and Touch...More recently NOT OVER YOU YET
Guest Paul Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 no ross on this one either ...not unless she had joined The Four Tops without anyone being told. Paul Mooney
Guest Mark Holmes Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 nathan jones was Jean Terrell The things you find out when you weren't really looking!
Drew3 Posted January 14, 2008 Posted January 14, 2008 IMO, You've Been So Wonderful To Me is an excellent record which shows how well DR could sing without being surrounded by loads of Instumental noise. I've always thought that her records get a poor deal from the scene. Nice to hear some underplayed (i.e not Baby Love) Supremes being played at the odd do I've been to recently. I've said this before and I'll say it again, IMHO Diana Ross had a better singing voice than Martha Reeves and maybe Berry Gordy thought so to, but I'm sure someone will put me right with the history/politics of Motown at the time. KTF. Drew.
Guest WPaulVanDyk Posted January 16, 2008 Posted January 16, 2008 Diana Ross to me was so much better with the supremes. However she did do Chain Reaction as a solo artist which i like But what about anything she did as a solo artist which is more Northern Soul if any
De-to Posted January 20, 2008 Posted January 20, 2008 nothing but heartaches by the supremes is a nice tune imo here they are doing it live(ish!!!). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IBh60cD7C9o
Sutty Posted January 21, 2008 Posted January 21, 2008 'Brown Baby' off 'touch me in the morning' album
