Shortly thereafter, Ross established her manufacturing firm, named Anaid Productions ("Diana" spelled backwards), and also started investing in real property and touring extensively in the United States and abroad. Gordy and Ross clashed throughout filming, with Ross leaving the manufacturing earlier than capturing was accomplished, forcing Gordy to use secretary Edna Anderson as a physique double for Ross. In 1999, she and Brandy Norwood co-starred in the television film, Double Platinum, which was aired prior to the discharge of Ross's album, Each day Is a new Day. On February 8, 1997, EMI released the Japanese version of Ross's album, A Gift of Love, featuring the single, "Promise Me You'll Try". On November 29, EMI launched the compilation album, Voice of Love, featuring the singles "In the ones You Love", "You are not Alone" and "I Hear (The Voice of Love)". Gordy, too, composed songs for the trio, together with "Buttered Popcorn" (featuring Ballard on lead) and "Let Me Go the fitting Way". Among the opposite members of the Primettes have been Florence Ballard (the first group member hired by Jenkins), Mary Wilson, and Betty McGlown, Williams' then-girlfriend. |
