Dec 1, 2008 - OMG What mean b*tch rated this vid low it had 5 stars, then that went down to 4.5 (which is absolutely fine) but 4 is taking the piss.

Dec 1, 2008 - In every interview that Mary Wilson does when they ask her to describe FLOS big powerful gospel influenced voice, I just don't hear it. I've been trying to find a recording of FLO singing like this but have had no success yet. Can you post her singing in well documented vocal style?
JonathanLGardner Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - Oh ermm. IT MAKES NO DIFFERENCE NOW (second verse as Mary sings the first and Diana the last) HEY BABY, BUTTERED POPCORN, AIN'T THAT GOOD NEWS

Dec 1, 2008 - I like her phrasing in this version better than the released version ... like another poster said she sounds like Flo on here! Wow great post. Thanks!
JonathanLGardner Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - Yes I do prefer this too. She really does sound like herself and it really works.Thanks, such a shame someone rated it low =(

Dec 1, 2008 - How do you get a hold on these things? It was wonderful to hear it. This version is more soulful than the released version, but I like the released version better anyway.Florence had an affair with Otis Franklin (not to be confused with Melvin) of the Temptations, who is the only surviving member. Thanks for all the gems you post.
JonathanLGardner Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - Well I search for hours but I am also part of the florenceballard2 yahoo group and someone sent a link round where we could download the first take of this song and My Heart. Flo actually had an affair with Otis Williams, there was never an Otis Franklin in the group.Oh and no problem I love doing this.

Dec 1, 2008 - Jonathan!Thank you for finding and POSTING this! Tho' it was a rough cut....there were parts about THIS one that I liked much better than the one they ended up with! It was a different approach! But this one was better, and had she been more settled in her FIRST take, it'd've probably worked BETTER! It's VERY COOL! thanks bro."CeeJer"
JonathanLGardner Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - Oo thank you so much. I just LOVEd it when I heard it and knew I HAD to post it. The video took ages to make - and is not even completely in sync - because Windows Movie Maker kept crashing =( but I'm so happy that the Flo fans get to hear this =D Someone from the florenceballard2 yahoo group had this and sent us a link to where we could download it and Marvin on youtube (individuell83) enhanced and improved the quality. You should join the group if you haven't already.
ant2181 Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - thank you! I wish they would have gone in this direction with the song instead of trying to make her sound like a Ross clone. this is a rough cut, but you can see the potential, and I think this was her comfort zone for singing, rather than the soft sound they went for.
JonathanLGardner Says:
Dec 1, 2008 - Aw thanks. I totally agree. I love the released version, but the strings should have been louder and of course they should have let the Ballard voice shine as she does here. I love how on this take, Flo has indentity and individuality whereas on the released version, though she sounds great, there is no personality coming through.Thanks so much for commenting. Have a wonderfully s u p r e m e
