Diana Ross - Theme from Mahogany (Ruud's Extended Edit)

[@colinsmith1288]

This song was sent from God into the mind of a song writer and sang by a woman with a heavenly voice to remind us there is still beauty in life to find and cherish.

[@strausdavis216]

I have never in all of my 71 years of living, heard such a beautiful emotional, interpretation of a song. Critics have belittled this woman talent, but they have underestimated her talent. What a talent? She is truly a pleasure to listen to. Diana Ross is one of the most talented singers of her times. I would rate her of her era. I am blessed as having been born in the times of Diana Ross. What a blessing. I could listen to her all day, and never tire.

[@maussolo]

Beautiful words. This song is so heavenly. Diana one of the best artists from all times.

[@ThePrettyeyes341]

What? I didn't know that her talent had been criticized

[@dtrn254]

For me, Diana is by far the Blueprint for all true pop SUPERSTARS...she personally trained Michael. And women like Whitney, Madonna, Janet, Mariah and now Beyonce all followed and paid tribute to her in some way....Diana was the pioneer for all of what we understand about pop SUPERSTARDOM....no one like her before.

[@traciehockney5843]

Totally agree xx

[@keremkayi8319]

This heavenly voice of wonderfull Diana Ross was crowned here by a unique extended version plus her best scenes from the movie! Wow, can't stop watching it again and again! Magnificent work!

[@markabdillaguitar3332]

i remember seeing this movie as a little kid on tv and the song made cry...being in the 70s my dad laughed at me... I am now a pro musician and am going to create a great video version of it...i think it is the lyrically and musically the greatest ballad ever

[@rsmith7912]

I was 15 when this came out. I've lost count on how many times I've seen this movie over the years but the whole Mahogany soundtrack is just sublime. This beautiful song though is my all time favourite Ms Ross song ever put to vinyl. It might sound morbid but I have it ready to play at my funeral whenever that may be. I'm 57 now, not ready to go just yet, but this song is still able to make a grown man cry.....& I do mean Cryyyyy!!!!! It's just so gut wrenching and anyone who is in touch with their inner emotions will know what I mean. It'll make you happy if you're in a good place but it can comfort you when you're in a bad place. Ruud, you have done a wonderful mix here & it sounds really how it should have been released in the first place. 9 minute songs were never heard of until Queen's 'Bohemian Rhapsody'. This is great, top notch stuff though so well done and a very big thank you from London town.

[@Haggiedc2]

R Smith ..makes me cry too... I so get ti

[@wheninrome345]

My favorite of the soundtrack is "You Never Have To Be Alone". I did a play and used that song as the music to change the stage. I've used it twice. In fact, I've used the soundtrack several times for plays.

[@johneisner9813]

I can recite the movie Backwards..

[@sidfinster9298]

It was the theme for our graduation. Years later, I still love this song, but it is only with time that I can appreciate the melancholy of the lyrics.

[@Kurt77777]

So glad that this is the music that I grew up to. Actually, I am very fortunate and lucky to have grown up in the best decade in music, the 70's, and to have been blessed to have been able to listen to the one, the only, the incomparable Miss Ross. ❤

[@edisonlite6985]

one of the most amazing songs ever written! The chord progressions, the time signature changes, the key changes - it's all so brilliant. Plus, such an emotive performance from Diana. Absolute beauty of a song!

[@drcokepepper]

And the background singers are heavenly

[@JohnnysCoolStuff]

Great mix. This song has been in my head since I was a kid. It's a beautiful song that never gets old.

[@tomhertz1614]

BABYSITTER took me with her to see this movie when I was very young and I loved the movie and this song .

[@bettycollis8752]

Love love love Miss Ross I love the scene in Mahogany where Anthony Perkins was taking pics of her then they show him looking at her knowing he fell in love with her at that moment in time💞

[@ryangreen2469]

Without a doubt...one of the best songs of the 20th century, fantastic upload-thank you, so enjoyed it, never gets old. When I was a kid in the sixties I wanted to be Diana...use to imitate her in front of the mirror with my hairbrush as a microphone LOL! ! She will always be a legend in my heart.

Yes those eyes are mesmerizing and intoxicating . She is gorgeous and regal with those high cheek bones and beautiful smile.

[@lisahoward-cardwell8662]

She is amazingly talented. Whether it was then or now. I have her on every playlists. She gives you a chance to back away from challenges that you deal with everyday. Whether it is from her upbeat songs that make you get up and dance. To her musical way of letting you know you can fly. She's amazing and I relish the 53yrs I've been able to hear the words. it's ok to not be ok. But also that life's challenges are what you learn from. Namaste.

[@rickw1100]

Though plagued with production problems and with mixed critical response, I thought this a better film than Lady Sings The Blues. She was so beautiful in this film which also produced one of the most exquisite Sound Tracks, including this title song, ever created for a movie.

[@DESYLIOUS1]

This movie made me crave for a strong black man when I got older! Because I knew I would be a force to recon with when I got older! 😊

this song came around when a difficult situation came over me, but I survived with co-workers who had more trials than I had. I remember them all the staff at St. Joseph's hospital Thunder Bay Ontario third floor rehab. Sister Bonnie was our head nurse a kind and generous Sister of St. Joseph.

Dear Ruud Mixer - I must congratulate you on the seamlessness of this extend-o-mix! Really incredible, incredible work...and a labour of of love for something that is too elegant to be a 'cult' movie and yet too earnest to be truly camp (except, maybe, for Tracey/Miss Ross' bizarro 'Elton John is the love child Cio Cio San & Flash Gordon' "Kabuki Feenallay" costumes - I mean, really! As a naive and somewhat provincial 14 year old seeing this on TV in 1981 I loved those costumes - they were just so 'off'...this was my idea of a visionary avant-garde...now they make me laugh, not derisively, of course, but mirthfully - they are fun, fun, fun and eminently fascinating. Who couldn't help but want to see them up close for every detail? But couture? Not sure about that.): anyway, your work is much appreciated.

[@RuudMixer]
