I'm getting a little tired of hearing about Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson and how terrible Diana Ross is. I happen to have been a fan of hers since way back in the early 60's and I still am. She is a rare talent that is able sing, dance and act which a lot of people wish they had, so they stand around criticizing her because she can. She made that group It was her that always stood out. I heard Mary Wilson sing once and thought she couldn't hold a tune on her own. Florence Ballard never seemed to shine either, certainly nothing like Jennifer Hudson that supposedly played her in Dreamgirs. It's hard to imagine that it was actually Mary Wilson that Diana bumped out of the lead by Berry Gordy. don't know how she could have been the lead singer back in the days the trio sang around the street of Detroit. Get over it, the people who are jealous and find every petty little thing that Diana does wrong and put it out there like venemous snakes. Shame on all of you. And Diana, continue what your doing for as long as you can. Because I'll be watching or be where you're at as long as I can as well.|

But you need to realize that many many others disagree with your assessment of Diane for good reason. She is an egotistical diva who destroyed her own career.

For many artists, album covers are not important considerations. But Ross has built a career as much on image as on talent. To compound problems for her, not only was the Workin Overtime packaging unattractive, the odd, herky-jerky youth oriented music called "hip hop" was more suitable for a trendy artist half her age than for someone with Ross' pop music experience and preeminence. This career strategy is precisely the kind of madness Berry Gordy would have never considered for Ross. But Miss Ross insisted upon it and no one could - or would - talk her out of it. The result? Ross' audience had the final word - they didn't buy it.
None of Workin Overtime's single releases cracked the The Top Pop 100. The album was her poorest selling and lowest charting record of the last 21 years.

These days, Ross' image is shopping for food looking very unglamorous.

It was being played next to all of the underground house records at the time. I remember someone I didn't know telling me "This is a very important record!" The house mix of Workin Overtime was a big hit in the clubs in 89 as well. The problem is that the mixes that were so popular were not on the album and available only on 12". The mixes on the album are terrible.

Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard were both better singers than Diana Ross and no one could dance like Mary Wilson! Diana Ross knew this, why else do you think she thought she needed the extra edge by sleeping with the boss? Right! Now get outta Dodge@!

Hector Gurl, you out of your mind. Now I will say Aunt mary's voice surely has lasted the test of time, It's as Horrible as it was way back in the 60's. It must be all that cocaine and cheap liquor mary was always snorting and guzzling down for the past 53 years. no one could give head like mary wilson and that's a fact. Aunt Mary never could sing or dance. Mindy Williams Bullshit has caught up with her, Now she want to tell the truth and reunite with Diana before she has to move into a Vegas trailer park. Even Mark Bighole is tired of Mindy coming to LA for a $600 gig and then staying with him and eatin all his food and drinkin all his liquor so he's packin her back to Henderson on the Greyhound where Turdkissa and her 20 babies are all waiting looking for wing and pig feet money. Isn't it time for you to stop trollin the Internet Marv/Hector/DetroitLIES313 and go meet your old Cuban HO of a Boyfriend TWTR4EVER, in some nasty, disease ridden leather bar restroom. He-she is on her-his knees waiting for you. LOL

Though signing the multi-million dollar pact with RCA Records gave her the financial security she craved and deserved after leaving Motown with "a few hundred thousand dollars that I can actually put my hands on." Ross' new deal reaped few benefits for her commercially. She WAS a major star and a dependable concert draw not because of any song she recorded at RCA but because of her stellar Motown past and the irresistible lure of her celebrity.Ross became a drag queen in the 1980s. It did not help her declining record sales, and also turned people off.

It looks like she used those millions for a skin bleach and reconstructive work on her face. You can look at the pictures and see the difference. Oh yeah...it is diet and exercise and makeup and lighting...
