O’s Notes: This video is a part of the Ad Lib TV series filmed in 1980. It doesn’t take long to recognize the splendor of Dianne’s voice on the opener “Love For Sale”. It is an overworked song yet we enjoyed it with Reeves gracing the notes. She has a wide range that is packed with emotion. She sings effortlessly while maintaining tonal accuracy. These two shows catch her early in her career. The sound isn’t perfect but her talent shines brightly. Trumpeter Snooky Young and Billy Childs also make appearances during the shows.
