Soul diva Diana Ross celebrates her 78th birthday today. Her fist fame was as lead singer of The Supremes in the late ’50’s and early ’60’s. She launched her solo career in 1970, and since then has released 25 solo albums and scored a number of Top 10 singles on the Pop, R&B, and Adult Contemporary charts. 1973’s "Touch Me In The Morning" was her second #1 single on the Pop and Adult Contemporary charts and #5 on the R&B chart.

A great song by Ms. Ross. I have not seen her out in public lately. I wonder how she is doing.

She’s up in her 70’s now, was in good health just a couple of years ago, but things can change.

Great song.
There are a couple of Jeopardy! contestants who have earned her wrath, though…

They both apologized, said they had to write something…

I was just telling my husband yesterday that I’d like to see her live. We are anxiously awaiting the Mountain Winery lineup for this coming season.

Are things getting back to normal out there life-wise? I would imagine the concers are all backed up from the last couple of years…

There are more concerts now, yes. Some places still want proof of vaccination, which I don’t mind at all. They are still charging an arm and a leg though, as if they are trying to recoup the losses of the last two years in one show!

They probably are trying to recoup.

I remember this song. A kind of tearjerker tune. Was it in some movie as the theme?
LikeLike
It wasn’t from a movie; it was her second or third solo album, also called Touch Me In The Morning. She was in Lady Sings The Blues around that time…

Maybe that’s what I have mixed up in my mind.

I was the same way, thinking it had to be tied in with a movie. She was doing music and movies at the time….

Such a beautiful song and her voice handles it exquisitely.

Her voice was (and probably still is) exquisite. She just came out with an album last year, so she’s hanging in there.
