Diana Ross - Theme from Mahogany (Ruud's Extended Mix)
'Mahogany' is a 1975 feature film, produced by Motown Productions and released to theaters by Paramount Pictures on October 8, 1975. Directed by Motown founder Berry Gordy (taking over after British director Tony Richardson was dismissed from the film), Mahogany stars Diana Ross as Tracy Chambers, a poor African-American woman who rises to become a popular fashion designer in Rome.
The film includes the Ross-sung theme song, "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To)", which became a huge hit world wide. Here's my extended version of that beautiful song. No copyright infringement intended. Enjoy!

Jean DuShon - Feeling Good (Cadet 5518)
fliped with ''Take a Chance'' issued on Cadet Records in 1967.
Biographie
Jean DuShon is a superb singer. Early in her career, Dinah Washington scolded her for "trying to sing like me". DuShon quickly developed her own style which was so impressive, her rise to stardom was inevitable.
Jean started singing professionally while still in her teens. Like other natives of the city, she entered talent shows, most of which she won, and started getting paid gigs locally. The singer was headlining the Flame Showbar when Berry Gordy was still taking pictures of the patrons and his sister was selling cigarettes.
Luck walked through the door when John Levy became her manager. Among his other clients were Nancy Wilson, Cannonball Adderley, George Shearing and Ramsey Lewis. Jean was now being booked into swank nightclubs and working with many of the professionals (such as Nipsey Russell at the Club Baby Grand) she had heretofore only read about in the papers.
When Nancy and John had a big falling out, Levy took to the press, reporting that he would make DuShon and even bigger star than Wilson. Later, when Wilson and Levy patched up their differences, they both split for Los Angeles. Undaunted, Jean DuShon continued on her own with her husband becoming her manager. She signed as star vocalist with Cootie Williams Band and travelled the country. While appearing with Williams at New York's Roundtable, she was spotted by Ahmet Ertegun, who was so impressed, that he took her to Atlantic Records where he assigned the young Phil Spector to record Jean. Among the recordings was a remake of Little Willie John's "Talk to Me" backed with DuShon's own, "Tired of Trying". These recordings brought her to the attention of Chess Records in Chicago, who signed her to do an album, "Make Way for Jean DuShon" which was met with critical acclaim leading to a second album, "You Better Believe Me" with the Ramsey Lewis Trio. By the time she recorded her third album, "Feeling Good", she was famous. On "Feeling Good", she worked with the famed Oliver Nelson and a future "Grammy Producer of the Year", Phil Ramone who was then a record engineer.
At one point, Jean sang with Lloyd Price's band. Later, Fats Domino wanted her to work with him at the Flamingo Hotel in Las Vegas. The engagement was a smash, leading her back East to share the bill with Count Basie, Joe Williams, Ramsey Lewis and Hank Crawford at the New Jersey Jazz Festival and fabled New York spots like Birdland (with Miles Davis and Sonny Stitt), Small's Paradise, The Blue Note, Apollo Theatre and Fillmore East.
She worked with the legends, including Cannonball Adderly and Wes Montgomery at the Northrop Memorial Auditorium, Dick Gregory and her old friend, Ramsey Lewis at Philharmonic Hall in New York, Ray Charles at the Village Gate and with Little Jimmy Scott and Charles Brown at one of President Clinton's Inaugural Balls in D. C. Other shows were with Marvin Gaye, Etta James, T-Bone Walker, Big Mama Thornton, Little Richard, The Marvelletes, Herbie Mann and Smokey Robinson. It's not well known, but Jean had the first recording of "For Once in My Life".
At the urging of actor Dick Anthony Williams, who caught one of her shows at NY's Wells one evening, she went into the theatre. Even though she had never acted, she adapted easily to the genre and appeared off-Broadway in "Helen of Troy" and "The Crystal Tree". During this period, she also made appearances on the Merv Griffin Show and continued her nightclub work.
Eventually, Broadway called and Jean went into a leading role in "What the Wine Sellers Buy" at the Vivian Beaumont Theatre at Lincoln Center, co-starring Glynn Turman and Dick Anthony Williams (Tony Nominated as Best Actor). She then went into the acclaimed musical, "Bubbling Brown Sugar" starring opposite Cab Calloway, and stayed with the show, off and on for eleven years. After touring with "Bubbling" in Europe, ending in Paris, France, Jean was called back to New York to replace the ailing Ruth Brown three weeks before the Broadway opening of the musical, "Blues in the Night" co-starring Leslie Uggams. DuShon received rave reviews from the likes of Frank Rich of the New York Times who said "Miss DuShon is sassy, yet elegant" and from Clive Barnes who called her "indelibly randy" had great things to say about her performance. Others felt that she made history while singing Bessie Smith's "Wasted Life Blues". Audiences gave her standing ovations, the same way they had with Jennifer Holliday's "And I Am Telling You I'm Not Going". It was an astonishing performance prompting The Princeton Town Topics to say, "Our nominee for star of the evening is Jean DuShon...she is not only a gifted singer but a gifted actress whose songs are not simply sung, but performed." The Spectrum reported, "The show-stopper is Jean DuShon...hers is a bravura performance which brings down the house".
"Blues in the Night" was so good, it was nominated as best musical of the year at the T

An Interview with Mary Wilson of the Supremes
Mary: I gotta change shoes.
Mary: Okay, there we go. Now, that’s so much better.
Stuart: Ladies and gentlemen, obviously, let’s begin at the beginning. Normally, the protocol is that we give people a round of applause at the end of the event. In this particular case, we’re going to break with all the protocols, because I know a lot of people that are in the audience, I’ve seen faces, I’ve seen people with reputations in the audience, and I think that all of us can say, unanimously that, Mary probably doesn’t really deeply understand how much impact her singing and her reputation has had in our lives, the way it’s shaped the love that we’ve got for the music. So, ladies and gentlemen, Mary Wilson of The Supremes, come on.
[applause]
Stuart: So, where to start? Let’s start with a quick question. Mary, I wanted to -
Mary: Well, I need to explain something.
Stuart: Yes, my dear.
Mary: Okay, before we go any further. I’m not the founding - the only founding member of The Supremes, as most of you know. Florence, Diane and Betty McGlown, are the founding members of The Supremes, and I cannot take that credit all myself. So, the people here in the audience understand and know that, so, let’s make that very clear.
Stuart: Well, let’s start with the first question, I was watching you last night in the opening of the exhibition, singing, and sung a couple of songs for us, it was great, and one of the things that struck me is, actually, without any hesitation, I’d forgotten how great a solo singer you are, how great a singer you are. And I wonder if that actually, when we go back to The Supremes, there’s been criticisms in the past, for example, that Diana was actually the least good singer of The Supremes, she had a very specific voice. And I just wanted to get your thoughts about - just describe the different voices that were in The Supremes.
Mary: Well, I don’t think that you can - anyone said that Diane was the least good singer in The Supremes, that’s not true, and I’ve never ever said anything like that. My point was always to sort of bring forward the fact that Florence Ballard was a great singer, and I was also a good singer. So, I think people - and sometimes when we tried to explain or say things like that, people think that you’re saying that the other person is not that good. That was not my point, at all. My point was saying that Florence Ballad was a Gospel, strong singer, Diane was a pop singer and I was kind of, like, the ballad singer, so, we each had our own, you know, good points.
Stuart: And at a time, and in a city, which probably, without any hesitation, you could say was probably, at its time, the greatest musical city in the world, bar none. I mean, if you actually compare and contrast it with the other great regional city of the time, Liverpool, many of the Liverpool acts moved down to London and whatever, but there you were, in Detroit, touring the world, phenomenal place. Just to get some grasp on this, simply your high school alone, who did you go to school with?
Mary: Well, in Detroit, we all kind of grew up in the projects. Detroit was really a small - is, a small town. And Smokey Robinson, I guess, was in the same - lived in the neighbourhood as Diana Ross. I went to high school with some of The Miracles, which was Bobby Rogers. The person that did a lot of singing - or writing, with Smokey Robinson, was Al Gutierrez, Marvin Tarplin, and he and I went to high school together. Florence went to the same high school as some of The Temptations. So, we all came from pretty much the same neighbourhood, even though it was kind of large.
Stuart: And when did you first remember the sense that Mary Wilson had the desire to be a singer? Where did the desire come from?
Mary: Well, you know, people like Little Richard, you know, there was Jackie Wilson, there was Frankie Lyman and The Teenagers was one of my favourite ...
Stuart: He was a bad boy, though, wasn’t he?
Mary: He was a what?
Stuart: He was a bad boy.
Mary: I don’t know, I was too young.
Stuart: No, he was a very bad boy, Mary.
Mary: Well, you know, doctors don’t tell secrets on other doctors. But, we all kind of bad later on. But, yeah, you know, from just - oops, we don’t want to go there right now - but, anyway, when I was born, my mother said that when the doctors spanked me, I started singing. So, I mean, I did that, but I never ever thought that it was different, I thought that everybody woke up in the morning singing. You know, I thought that everyone did that. I didn’t realise, until I became one of the members of The Primettes, that that was something very special. Then I realised that that talent was special, but, prior to that, I would just, you know, woke up and start singing, " ooooooo," you know, whatever, and just ...
Stuart: And say a little bit about that photograph, because it connects you back to, like, many Detroit people of your generation, to the Souther

Michael Jackson Memorial Song - King of Pop
A tree fell down on my driveway during a storm in Detroit just as I caught word Michael Jackson died. Clear sign to me that MJ shook the world. I'm going to build something with it's branches. Any ideas?? Let me know. You hear that Jackson tune state of shock? Well that's me now. Michael Jackson is one of my greatest musical influences. Living in Detroit a few miles from the Motown museum downtown I live and breathe soul, funk and R and B. The Jackson Five victory tour was my first concert. Growing up in the 80’s MJ was god. Everybody wanted to be him. Then I can remember one day all of the traitors gave up on him throwing away their Thriller lunch boxes claiming he was now gay or weird? Well, he did turn out to be pretty damned eccentric but I never gave up. Ok. If your kid was invited to sleep at Michael Jackson's Neverland Ranch why would you let them unless you wanted to extort $20 million dollars. But despite the unknowns in his personal life how could you turn your back on his music? Thriller? Off the Wall? Don’t you remember when we are the world came out? How happy were you when Thriller was on MTV? Or were you too cool back then too? You preferred listening to bad music because it wasn’t popular probably? Are you kidding me? I wish I had videos of some of these tools dancing and singing gleefully to Michael in their home movies to remind them of the real truth. Michael was lauded and ridiculed it seemed almost overnight. I'm sure he will go down in history being compared to Elvis Presley. Come on there’s no comparison.
All good things come to an end. The king of pop was made famous by Berry Gordy from Motown Records in Detroit. Gary, Indiana died long ago but Michael died at 50 years old. Michael Jackson died after being taken to a hospital on Thursday June, 25th, 2009 after having suffered cardiac arrest, according to the Los Angeles County Coroner's office. Autopsy hasn't been released yet.
I thought I’d pay tribute to the king of pop by doing a cover of Man in the Mirror with some pictures and a video montage. I can remember my Michael Jackson glove, my 84 Tigers batting glove, my parachute pants and my badass moonwalk and break dancing moves as some of my fondest childhood memories. Michael has so much soul and expression in his voice that at 5 years old he tore up seasoned R and B artists. He just embarrasses grown adult professionals. Myself included. He's difficult to cover as evidenced by this average to below average sounding recording frantically recorded live and on guitar as soon as I caught word. This was a great way for me to celebrate his life and express my appreciation. Hope you enjoy it and will checkout my originals. There’s no doubt what he was put on earth to do. I’m quite sad that he couldn’t do it just a little longer.
Rest in Peace Michael. Oh yeah and you too Farah Fawcett. Michael Jackson you will never leave my playlist.
