They just don't make great stars like that anymore. Now that's what makes a star legendary and timeless..... having the ability to be the whole package and being able to do it all with singing, dancing, acting, entertaining, etc. and to do it all well. Only a true performer can wear all of these hats. That's why Miss Ross looks so at home whenever she's on stage. Such a classic star!

The 1960s teen "crew" knew all of this. By the 1970s Miss Ross had started her family, loved her concerts where the inclusion of dancing, acting, and entertaining did not matter as much. So glad & thankful all this was caught on celluloid then transferred to digital for all of us who didn't experience it LIVE.

mike ritchie I saw Diana perform live many times and it has ALWAYS been unimagiably memorable!! One VERY memorable night I took my precious young son to see her at The Circle Star Theater in San Carlos Cali. That night her brother was there and coincidentally was sitting next to us. During the show, Diana proudly introduced her handsome brother (a resident of Berkeley at that time). He got on stage and danced with his sister sooooo happy!! It was a glorious site to see!!! DIANA WAS BEAMING!!! DIANA IS ALL ABOUT FAMILY!!! GLORIOUS WOMAN THAT SHE IS!!!much A precious memory in so many ways!!!!!

Y’all overstate Diana’s influence on Michael….Diana wasn’t a dancer dancer like Michael was. Michael’s performing & dancing came from Sammy Davis, James brown, Fred estaire & Jackie Wilson with his own charisma and twist to it. Diana influenced some of his vocal styling but that’s about it but performing & music wise I don’t see alot similar

That is called a triple threat in Hollywood. Singer, actress and dancer Add beauty, charisma, fashion icon, hair icon and a sense of theatricality that preceded the Madonna and Lady Gaga’s of the world. Maybe there will never be another star like Diana. I Already have tickets to her summer show at the bowl. Amazing that she will perform at 77 years. Folks if she is coming to your town please go if you can. We never know how much longer we will have these legends.

On another episode, she did a beautiful Astaire/Rogers dance number with Sammy Davis that was perfection. She led the Supremes to become the most successful US group ever, built one of the most successful careers ever, dusted with Lionel Richie on the most successful duet in history, make films & win a well-deserved Oscar nomination, co-host the Oscars 4 times, host the American Music Awards 3 times, host the Grammys, star in 5 TV specials, star in two successful TV movies, star in the Superbowl halftime show, star at the World Cup, host the ceremony to award the Nobel Peace Prize, tour with two of the top tenors in opera & more than hold her own & raise a beautiful, talented family who adore her. Diana Ross blazed new trails, broke down all kinds of barriers for Black singers & singers in general & has achieved truly remerkable things & still performs to sell-out shows at 76. She is a superstar, a legend & a performer whose work & name will live forever.

No matter where I saw her, she pointed me out in the audience. 😁 Oh, except for once bcuz it was raining. Diana is remarkable in so many ways and on so many levels, SUCH BEAUTIFUL TALENT AND SOUL. And... how she could always acknowledge one of her greatest fan says EVERYTHING about HER. ME!!!! Yes I am, Yes I am!!! Diana is more than a well deserverved Internatioal Star, she is a beautiful gift from heaven!!! She Certainly makes the dreams of her loyal fans come true!!!! I know this from personal experience!!! She always acknowledged me in the audience. Can you even begin to imagine the thrill and honor!!! Once, in Lake Tahoe at Caesars she came down from the stage and came to my table, she had me stand and she put her arm around me tightly and sang. My friends at our table were blown away!!! I stood there next to her while she sang beautifully, with all that hair in my face, not believing that my long time idiol had her arm around me and singing a beautifuhl song!!! What a life I have led!!! Next I will tell you about about Ray Charles!! ........ then Willie Nelson.....

This performance along with “Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine/Don’t ya Hear me Calling to You” on the 1969 Dinah Shore special and Diana dancing with Sammy Davis Jr. channeling Astaire and Rogers on the Hollywood Palace had me mesmerized. Who knew Diana could dance so elegantly yet powerfully? Diana was showing the world that she was more than ready to leave the Supremes. That stunning outfit she’s wearing here? I saw her live in 1970 doing her first solo show ever. She wore this outfit for several numbers. It’s even hotter in person!
