I love this performance, thanks for posting.

I`ve been listening a lot to her Fillmore album lately, and i like it when she sings "Reach out and touch" I think this was right after Ross recorded Franklin`s "Call me" (which, as you know, earned her a grammy nomination). At the end of "Reach out and touch" on fillmore, Franklin includes a part of "Call me"... I understand she must have felt VERY offended, but did she make a comment/statement about it?

I would love to see her facial expression as the guys says "Diana Ross for "I love you (call me)"...

I have Diana Ross` version on cd, and i have to say, it sucks compared to Aretha Franklin`s original....

Isn`t it strange and a little disturbing how i always manage to make a thread into a Diana Ross thread?

Whats more disturbing is Diane singing that song I neva knew that she covered Aretha on this one.

Thats a very PERSONAL song, it shouldn't be attempted by anybody, sure as hell NOT Miss Ross

Oh god,,,I don't wanna hear it, but my curious side is itching me.

I agree, it was a mistake, and NOT worthy a grammy nomination! There are other songs on the album that is better than this one ("I`m still waiting", "My place", "How about you")

What suprises me is how many people call Diana Ross a soulsinger.... When i listen top a Diana Ross song, ANY Diana Ross song, i don`t hear soul.

So you`re curious about the song Check you orgnote

She got Miss.Ross on point
