Diana Ross & Supremes & Temptations
Discographie:
- collaborative album combining Motown`s two best selling groups, Diana Ross & the Supremes and The Temptations. Issued by Motown in late 1968 to coincide with the broadcast of the Supremes/Temptations TCB television special, the album was a success, reaching #2 on the Billboard 200. Originally the lead single was to have been "The Impossible Dream" as featured in the climax to the TV spectacular TCB. However, it was decided to release "I`m Gonna Make You Love Me" as a single instead even though it wasn`t featured on TCB. This became a number-two hit on both the Billboard Hot 100 and the R&B charts, and the follow-up, "I`ll Try Something New", was a Top 30 hit. A third single, "I Second That Emotion", was released exclusively in the United Kingdom, where it became a Top 20 hit.
Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations marks the first on-record appearance of new Temptations lead singer Dennis Edwards, who was brought in as David Ruffin`s replacement in July 1968.
- All of the tracks on the album are covers of songs for other artists. Frank Wilson served as executive producer of the project. Diana Ross & the Supremes Join the Temptations, joint-recorded at both the main Hitsville USA studio in Detroit, Michigan, the Golden World studio in Detroit, and satellite studios in Los Angeles, primarily features leads by Diana Ross of the Supremes and Eddie Kendricks of The Temptations, with additional leads by Temptations Dennis Edwards, Paul Williams, Otis Williams, and Melvin Franklin.
- Diana Ross shares lead vocals on each track with one or more of the Temptations, identified by superscripts: (a) Eddie Kendricks, (b) Dennis Edwards, (c) Paul Williams, (d) Melvin Franklin, and/or (e) Otis Williams.
ARTIST GALLERY OHNE FOTOS !
In meiner Artist Gallery hatte ich aus dem Netz heruntergeladene Biographien, Fotos und Diskographien der Interpreten meiner privaten Schallplattensammlung und des Secondhand-Angebots öffentlich zugänglich gemacht. Nach völlig überzogenen Abmahnungen mehrerer Anwaltskanzleien habe ich nun alle Fotos von Interpreten für den öffentlichen Zugang gesperrt. Die Gesetzeslage verlangt, dass man für jedes Foto und jede Kurzbiographie oder Zeitungsmeldung zu einem Interpreten eine Genehmigung einholt und eine Lizenzgebühr bezahlt, auch wenn diese gar nicht der Verkaufsförderung dienen. Ein Disclaimer, Fotos oder Texte zu entfernen, wenn der Urheber dies verlangt, schützt leider in Deutschland nicht vor Schadensersatzforderungen und Abmahngebühren.
