9 Feb 2007--it's 1971!

But oh, this Diana is pleasant to hear.  Really does sound a lot like what Mary and the replacements were up to across the way with "Stoned Love."

FYI, I pulled out both the Diana and post-Ross Supes anthologies, to see if there was a connection -- nope.  "Remember Me", like all her hits of that period ("Reach Out and Touch", "Ain't No Mtn", "Surrender") was written & produced by Ashford & Simpson.  The Supes' early-'70s stuff was a bunch of diff folks, including Smokey ("Floy Joy") and Frank Wilson ("Stoned Love", "Up the Ladder", "Nathan Jones" -- talk about an unsung hero!)

Didya know they did a Nilsson tune called "Paradise", produced by Jimmy Webb?

Had no idea!  How's it sound?  And what post-Ross Supremes comp do you have?  I need a recommendation.

And hey!  Here they are doing "Love the One You're With"!

"Paradise" is quite lovely, if a bit syrupy, production-wise.  The comp I have is The Supremes '70s: Greatest Hits and Rare Classics, 22 tracks, more than you'll ever need. (Doesn't have "Love the One You're With" but it does have their covers of "Tossin' & Turnin'" and "Love Train".)
