i think it started with diana ross. she is a weak singer at best. as the critics used to say, she had the perfect am radio voice. nevertheless, she was more appealing than the better singer, mary wilson and she looked good in the clothes. but i could go on forever...

This is the most accurate post in the thread. Remember, before MTV there was American Bandstand. Just because it was only on once a week don't think for a second it didn't carry the same weight and brainwash the kids the same way. Same mindless teenybopper shit, different era.
