Spot on. Diana was beautiful, glamorous, marketable, charismatic and has classic records under her belt. However, voice - reedy and thin albeit appealing - could never stack up against other powerhouses of her time (having a big, soulful voice was much more revered back then). It's the reason why many felt Whitney adopted the template Diana formed but took it incredible heights simply because she had the vocal ability Di didn't.
