  March 20, 1976 - 45 Years Ago Today: Diana Ross had the Hot Shot Debut at No. 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 Chart with her single, "I Thought It Took A Little Time (But Today I Fell In Love)." The Michael Masser/Pam Sawyer-penned song was the second of three Hot 100 singles released from her self-titled album which was the second time in her solo career and second time in six years that two of her albums were self-titled. "I Thought It Took A Little Time," peaked at a disappointing No. 47 after the enormous leadoff single, "Theme From Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)," went to No. 1 just eight weeks prior and also enjoyed a single week at No. 1 on the Billboard AC Chart. "I Thought it Took a Little Time," was on its way to another smash hit when its pop chart life was cut short due to having to rush the release of "Love Hangover" to obliterate a competing version by the 5th Dimension. "I Thought it Took a Little Tim...

March 16, 1974 - 47 Years Ago Today: Barbra Streisand began a two-week run at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 Chart with her album, "The Way We Were." The album was released in January 1974 to capitalize on the title track that was soaring up the Billboard Hot 100 and AC Charts. After the album's initial release, the film's producer, Ray Stark, sued Columbia Records because it competed with the Rastar motion picture soundtrack also released in January 1974 which contained two Streisand versions of the song as well as the original score by Marvin Hamlisch. Stark won the lawsuit and the name of Streisand's studio album was changed from "The Way We Were," with the title removed from the album cover to "Featuring the hit singles The Way We Were and All In Love Is Fair" which appeared on the spine of the album. It was an odd title but in an ironic twist, it also boosted sales as the latter song was an immediate classic from Stevie Wonder's enormously...

    Donna D. Sadler Donna Davis On June 25th, Donna Davis saw the light of day. Music has been an important part of her life since she was born.  She reports of an ear operation that she had to undergo as a young child.  She wore a thick bandage around her head, but as soon as she heard music she jumped up and danced "Singing was always on of my favorite things to do". Cynthia and I were roommates on the collage and sang on campus.  When we met Pam in 1975 we had no experience in the music business.  Pam was our entry, and what an entry it was.
