Good or bad, I'm here

Song in my head

If there's a cure for this, I don't want it

Happy Birthday,   Diana Ross



Listening to ...

Baby it's me, I'm the same as you
A dreamer who dreams that's a dream come true
And all my life all I've wanted to meet someone just like you
Someone just like you who wants to love me, too
Someone just like you...

Happy Birthday, Miss Ross!

Diana Ross turned 68 today

Some Diana Ross for the afternoon

Solid as a rock

RIP   Nicholas Ashford

Half of one of the most prolific,successful producing and song-writing teams of my youth.

Nicholas Ashford & Valerie Simpson

Some of my favorites, produced by them.

Recently, they received a songwriting credit on Amy Winehouse’s song “Tears Dry On Their Own,” which contains a sample from “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.”

Happy Birthday Billy Dee Williams!

Friday Flash back - Diana Ross, Dionne Warwick, & The Spinners

Flashback Friday- Diana Ross & Rick James featuring Smokey Robinson

song in my head this evening

"Roll down the gangway
So they`ll see that it`s me
I know they`ll wonder about my recovery
Yes, I lost a love that promised happiness
What my heart wouldn`t accept
Put me to the test

They keep a holding me down
But I rise
Yes it can be done
They keep a holding me down
But I rise
They can`t make me run

Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Got my second wind
Keep a holding me down
But I rise
Tell `em I`m back again

Just say
I ain`t been licked
I ain`t been licked
I ain`t been licked
Tell `em for me
I ain`t been licked..."

Diana Ross

Song in my head, this morning

music to listen to on my way home...

Quote of the day- Diana Ross said...

"Instead of looking at the past, I put myself ahead twenty years and try to look at what I need to do now in order to get there then."





When I saw this quote I had to blog about it, because just yesterday when I bought a 2010 calendar, I had set August 1, 2010 as a date to attain a personal goal and I decided to work backwards in preparation for that day. I’m not sure if the goal is even attainable by then but I decided to write it on the calendar because I believe in self-fulfilling prophecies.

And today I saw the above quote from Diana Ross!
