Diana Ross - My Man

Diana Ross sings "My Man" at Caesar Palace September 1979.

[@stonedmermaid679]

Diana is so beautiful when she cries. So much credit to the camera crew for capturing her at her just beautifullest moment in life.

[@HOGARTHSGLOBALASTROLOGY]

She's a true artist. Not only were the vocals epic and touching, she really knows how to draw you in with the story - and all the best singers are great storytellers too.

[@anthonyyusef5897]

This is Diana at her peak vocally. This is not the same voice that gave you "Baby Love" She has never been given credit for the evolution of her voice. This Diana can sing anything with the best of em

[@upontheventura]

YES! To me it appears that 73-1980 was her PEAK. Amazing vocals. Amazing phrasing,

[@mane8610]

This wasn't her peak, but I agree with the rest of what you said\ But lowkey when she performed baby love live, it sounded fucking amazing

[@ladysasha90]

Ok calm down. She’s had alright moments but listening to this and thinking she can compete with Barbara or Whitney who absolutely OWNED this song is just crazy.

[@mtaylor7307]

When Baby Love came out she was often high during performances. Love Child used to be my favorite back in the day performance with The Supremes.

[@johncortesi8038]

I think she was the best she could be and I loved it! She is herself and it’s great! I loved her music and still do! Don’t compare, complain, criticize! She’s as great as she was ….foreverrrrrrr moreeeee

[@philhenderson3516]

For those of you that say or have said that Diana can't sing, here's your rebuke. She could sing like very few could, really a master of her craft. UNDERRATED!

[@proudcynophile1901]

Her performance if My Man is so spectacular it's otherworldly! She put her heart and soul into it and there were tears streaming from her eyes. She's golden!

[@nasimaali9646]

this performance shows what a marvellous interpreter Diana was at her peak vocally, so much emotion you can feel her pain, the “he beats me too…I hate that line” gives me chills everytime.

She was even better in "Out of Darkness", a film about paranoid schizophrenia..

This is why Michael LOVED this woman so much PURE CLASS a TRUE DIVA!!!

Mics are so heavy and Diana always held it so effortlessly

[@thedeliveranceintercessorp8150]

When I hear Diana sing this no matter how many times I hear it, I still get chills!!!💞💕💖

[@ricky6935]

She ATE that and left no crumbs. Diana Ross been a legend, she was a triple threat in her era, and the class was just there. That concert she performing on the clip where she did a segment of Billie Holidays songs was sick and the venue and the stage, that is royalty ♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️💯💯💯💯💯💯

[@terryyoung1877]

With me At 58, she's still my #1 female artist. A true Legend!! this is one of my favorite songs of many by Ms. Diana (Boss) Ross. I love me some her. ;)

[@barbarabrown4205]

You go Terry, like how you put that into words .love me some Diana too. Thks for post Terry

[@SuperEric39]

I love when she says I hate that line.

[@ryandariushwood225]

Certainly one of her best live performances. The upper notes and the overall vocal control are exemplary... Brava!!! oxoxoxoxo

[@AyeshaFaines]

because her greatest hits were poppish we forget that she really has an amazing, unique voice... this song really showcases her talents. And she looks gorgeous!

[@davidfulton1849]

Some have said that Miss Ross is a "weak vocalist." They need to hear this performance, and then they'll be shut down!! Her voice here is truly amazing.

[@joaoaurelio1534]

This was an unexplainable moment, i don't like say this things but she touched me, i felt her vulnerability so much that i became vunerable for a moment. And it's not because she cried, though as i am human i must say it added some fuel to the emotion i felt. Ross with her lovely voice, her blues, and even belting. She's got her style and she stays in the right place, not too much nor less. It's so amazing how a person could have achieved that place. She's an extraordinary person, a living legend.

[@mahoganyflame2000]

Such Beautiful words

[@cc.8642]

She just made me love this song! ~Thank you Miss Ross~

[@ewhilton7745]

Listen to that vocal technique at 3:40 on the word "more." She sings "moooaaaaaoooooaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa" Perfection! Others come and go, but I always find myself appreciating Ross the most. Shame that more people don't recognize her immense talent. Those in the industry know.

[@paulmanly3694]

Doesn't get any better.

Berry Gordy, called The Ear, knew!

[@mahoganyflame2000]

I thought I was the only one who noticed that.

[@upontheventura]

@@mahoganyflame2000 No, I have basically just discovered this woman, and totally noticed her impeccable vocal phrasing live. She is awesome. She knew how to sing live.

[@CDCANDIES]

I strongly disagree wit whoever said 'so near perfect'- She sung this song perfectly! She performed it da way every studio producer tries 2get singers 2perform,1st ''knowing'' then ''owning'' da song with 'emotional clarity'& from someplace inside them.U were perhaps speakn from a technical vocal meaning i'll assume.Its probally da reason 4those 3 dislikes-because it wasn't ''just like the record''. Sometimes as a fan of music u jus hav2gobeyond the 'note4note' & jus njoy d emotion comin across

[@SuperEric39]

If she never did anything else? She is phenomenal.

[@phillipmann3380]

This song and her performance of "God bless the child" in the same concert, are nothing short of epic😢

[@ThuxOliveira]

1:53 "i hate that line" Diana is such a performer! the best

[@chuckiebaby2000]

I've watched this performance ever since it premiered on HBO. I was stunned by it. Still "stung" by her effervescence.. A remarkable lady. I love you Miss Diana Ross..

[@rafael2212]

I cried with her..

[@yolandamataverde5961]

Why she cried? Was she going through something hurtful that time?

[@tonyjcoco7]

This is such a great song. I love the opening monologue. The singing and voice is out of this world.

[@lizlo7265]

One of the best live performances I've ever seen

[@stonedmermaid679]

She pronouce her words beautifully and her face control is what always buy me with her and her song Deliverance

[@lastchicane7479]

*WHAT A FIND!!* I first saw this video and heard this song on an HBO special (I think?) when I was 12 years old. My parents were out at party and we kids were home alone, safely. The next day, my mom heard me humming it and asked where I heard it (cuz I had some parts wrong) .. I told her. She went in the 'record room' as we called it, and pulled out a Billie Holiday album. She played it for me and told me to write down the lyrics, and then tell her what I understood (I was only 12 - "he beats me too" line - she was concerned). I did, and we talked about it and we sang it together. My Mum had (and still has) a beautiful voice. Within a few hours I had it down. She told me when I was older, she'd REALLY tell me about Billie.. and she did. Been a fan ever since. But THIS is what started it! Thanks for the post, and the memory!

[@mahoganyflame2000]

[@armandomunoz7403]

Every time she sings, I feel a catharsis along with her. I truly feel her emotions going through me.

[@beckyyeagersmith7252]

Thanks to Diana Ross' interpretation of Billie Holliday's music in "Lady Sings the Blues" an entire generation knows the words of the greatest jazz songs...

[@valentinasantiago8738]

Well said.

[@DAS1962]

First of all Lady Sings the Blues came out in 1972, Funny Girl came out in 1968 and that film ended with Streisand singing it at the of the film and it became an iconic sequence well before.

[@beckyyeagersmith7252]

@@DAS1962 Yo David dude...THE SONGS are of Billie Holiday who was an icon in her heydays of 1933-59. Many singers covered her songs written by many jazz greats. So fuckin' what? Diana Ross KILLED it becoming Billie Holiday in Lady Sings The Blues...oh no no they CAN'T take THAT away from me. To quote the Song. kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5mwqWRombh5bNk

[@jonldn]

Becky Yeager Smith you are right , thru LSTB Diana Ross introduced me to a world of songs and singers that has filled my life with great music. Leading of course with the sublime Miss Billie Holiday.

Saw this on HBO in 1979 and never forgot about it -- found it here couple of months ago. You can't watch this and not understand what a fantastic artist she is. You can also find here on youtube great performances she did with Michael Jackson, both in the Wiz and some nightclub-style song and dance stuff they did together.

Diana Ross is a an impeccable songstress which means she brings life and emotion with her voice and interpretation of the song. The one thing I love about her now is she is having the time of life performing and her audience and large fan base feel it every time they attend her concerts or watch her videos. This is a stunningly polished singer with a great band and back up singers everyone having the time of their lives especially the audience. Don’t forget what a great Mother she is which she gives much credit to her own mother. Her kids are all successful and you never hear negative press about them. You can tell how much love they all have for her just watch the 20 20 Mother’s Day tribute presentation by Barbara Walters. I truly love this great singer artist and mother such a treat to have been on this journey as a great fan of hers over the years. Thank you Miss Ross you are the best and always do it with class.
