Diana Ross '83 Entrance - Ain't No Mountain High Enough (Uncut)

Diana Ross' spectacular entrance during the finale of the Motown 25 tv special, which was recorded a day before her 39th birthday in 1983. This is the uncut recording of 'Ain't No Mountain High Enough' at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, while the audience could hear Diana back in the lobby speak those famous words and waiting for her to appear through the doors into the theatre.

I have watched this too many times but it is never grows old. Mrs. Ross really knew what she was doing and made sure her moments in the public eye were 'legendary'. Very few artists can make the most of 2:38 minutes and have the audience leaping to their feet. This is Power and Class we may not see again in our lifetimes.

[@brianwoods9741]

No one makes an entrance like the first diva of all showing the students , this is how you make an entrance onto the stage look and learn! The Boss Ms.Ross!!!!!

[@dddddadadad1796]

HOW PHENOMENAL WAS THIS ENTRANCE?!? And how breathtaking did she look This night?!

[@anthonycbrown1952]

I think it can be said this is one of the greatest entrances of all time. Diana will be remembered for having tremendous insight on her gifts and exploiting them to the max. When on stage, she is very aware of her body positioning and presence. Thank you Niles for keeping this catalogue of videos going. It is the go-to site for everything Diana Ross.

[@NilesNL69]

Beautifully said, Anthony. And thank you for appreciating my additions here.

[@stevenrichardson1869]

When she did concerts around this time she would show a video montage of all things Diana Ross before she entered. I remember it just blew me away. It was so glamorous

[@michaeldishler9673]

[@tubeyouuser]

I’d say her jumping through the screen entrance was the best entrance she’s ever made (and being walked back through it on her back at the close of the show her best exit). I saw that show live as well as on tape and let me tell you, the live show was everything.
