  • Good voice

  • what a woman and what a voice,some singers have a bigger voice than miss ross but none of those singers are this ladies equal,her voice is one in a billion no one ever sounded like miss ross ever,she is awsome.

  • May Martin Luther King Jr rest in peace. This man simply did what he knew was right, and in doing this opened the eyes of so many people and opened doors for millions of others.

  • DIANA-mite!

  • that's such a beautiful song!!

  • 50 years in the business and she is a little bit more brilliant every day. Diana always guarded herself and when she started to release her authentic beautiful self it was magnificent. This is a great singer.

  • I love Diana! She inspires me to no end. I have some originals on my channel, I hope you enjoy! Bless, KIA MUZE :-)

  • maravilhosa. charme. voz, talento. uma Divã completa.

    

  • Wow!

  • EXCELENTE VIDEO, VOZ, PERFOMACE, AFINAÇÃO DE TUDO E TODOS, NADA MAIS DO QUE A RAINHA DIANA ROSS, QUE NASCEU PARA CANTAR E ALEGRAR O CORAÇAO DE TODO NÓS !!!

  • Beautiful song, beautiful sentiment, beautiful setting, beautiful woman, beautiful voice, beautiful performance. Yes, I love this - makes the hairs on my arms stand on end!

  • Just magnificent. Not just to listen to and enjoy, but what a spiritual blessing also.

  • This is incredibly beautiful. Well done Diana!

  • Check out the new MLK song "FULL JUSTICE" on Youtube. Get ready to be inspired. Watch it now!!

  • pls rate my protestsong anno 2011?

  • Diana is timeless. She always said she would not live in the past and that she would focus on the future. This song which is a Negro Standard is sooooooo beautifully redone and Diana does so much justice to it. When I heard it , I welled up with tears and emotion and a smile I am a male.

  • however, this is touching

  • the strong will always dominate the weak. thats life.

  • Wonderful! :)

  • Touching!

  • gentle eyes,,,& voice.

    Thank you.

  • i only have one thing to say, as this performance has usually rendered me speechless. This is beautiful, just as we all are, in our own unique way. Thumbs up this comment if you agree. I am so very glad we are free today. It's too bad Martin Luther King Jr. didn't get to see his dream realized, as he died a day after he gave his "i've seen over the mountaintop" speech.

  • Good song for the people who are being Oppressed and Persecuted. Strong shall almost always persecute the weak ,except those who have the Love and Fear for God, They are the only ones ,who shall treat humanely other fellow human beings. Otherwise the Beast is seen manifestly in their behaviour towards other Human Beings.,.

  • เพลงแสนไพเราะ 

  • Made me cry.

    NEW YORK IS FREE!

  • Beautiful rendition!

  • Wow .....that beautiful voice

  • WOW! this should be released on cd!

  • I love her viose!!!

  • 先把這裏當個筆記本:看著這樣的大陣仗 我又想起了貝九 同樣是講人性的解放 出於舊大陸的貝九所講的來自神的力量 而出自新大陸的We shall overcome則將這力量溯自人的心中 世代不同 物是人非 雖然當年在香港 最無望的日子裏 正是貝九給我帶來了新世代的期許 但我現在相信 這一黑人民權運動的神曲 又將給我的心靈點燃下一盞明燈

  • 或許我現在很狹隘 但當我看到一開始的Budapest的時候 我心裏還是會有不舒服 因為在我看來 經歷數千年戰爭 尤其是百年來的兩次大戰 至今仍處於分裂割據的歐洲人是尚不懂得這樣大同思想的內涵的 直到我發現歌手來自美利堅 我便毫不猶豫地點了Favorite 這好像是一種在新大陸經歷了涅槃的美國精神對舊大陸的宣講 展望出了人類合眾為一的全新願景

  • starker song

  • WOW... hope you consider visiting the PHILIPPINES.

    SIMPLY BEAUTIFUL!

  • just so beautiful it makes me cry

  • I've never seen such gorgeous and solemn version of "We Shall Overcome" with additional melodies and verses!

    こんなにクラシカルで壮言な「勝利を我らに」は聞いたことが無か­った。

  • Beautiful...

  • Aww how nice ;-))!

  • What a BEAUTIFUL MASTERPIECE. There is not another woman that sings like Diana.She does not sing like a typical black woman, nor white woman.She sings just so differently; that's why so many cultures like her voice...It's transcendently expressive, beautiful, elegant, and soulful. Her voice has seasoned, but it's that same uniqueness that made the Supremes cross over worldwide and that's what Berry could see.

  • The boss is and will always be a giant in every aspect of entertainment ! She truly shines like no other with this awesome performance of a song that is all about hope and togetherness.Diana is a class act!

  • Pure elegance and grace, a lady who puts her heart into the performance. It gives me the chills. This song stands for everyone....

  • i grew up in the southern u.s. so i've heard this song before,but never like this. Diana Ross is not a diva,she's a class act. WOW!!

  • I absolutely loved it! She was gracious and elegant . . . and not to mention inspiring. I know this isn't the original melody but it was still beautiful and above all peaceful. Thx 4 posting.

  • awesome

  • This is gorgeous! a real showcase for her talent! I would have never thought she would sound so great with a song like this! Thanks for this post.

  • She is NOT an orchestral singer.

  • saintben2008 and hydfawr and enterhisrest - In a time of leadership you three are lost in the dust of all achievers. He, MLK, she, DR and the voice of reason will stifle your false and tiresome rhetoric. He did overcome. She has overcome. You three, I am afraid, are lost - never to be bolstered by social equity and certainly not saved by your disdain of compassion and enduring forgiveness. He believed in love and she sang his message both with grace and dignity, lifting spirits. Your loss.

  • diana ross

  • Martin would be proud!

  • WE WILL OVERCOME THE EVILS OF GEORGE BUSH AND HIS NEW WORLD ORDER OR WE WILL DIE TRYING....THE POWER OF GOD'S LOVE WILL PLACE GEORGE BUSH UNDER THE BIG FOOT OF JESUS

  • To many freaking instrumentals just start the singing. Please. ;]

  • The songs of the 90ies had heart and soul and the performers had great voices. There's no comparison with today.

  • Love her..what a great artist..

  • so beautiful!

  • @KingsleyEnnis1 why teach hate? ,why bring race into it, if i we were all cut baby we'd bleed RED thats a very hurtful and cruel thing to say, if i wanted to get technical i could go on into Black History n how black people we're continuous dogged out by White Folk,Even till this day now that President Obama In Ofc, So lets NOT get started on a History Lesson,Im not here to judge but what u said was out of line,and immoral.... u need God and Forgiveness Godbless u

  • i'am in tears, yes and thank the Lord & God,We will Overcome.... I love You Ms.Ross May God Always Bless You My Sister....

  • Estimated friend, if you want to listen again this song and an endless number of successes of the love I suggest you to visit Radio MUSICA PARA MIMOS - looks for his direction URL in Google ( search Musica para Mimos in Google)-. Is very good....!!!!

  • Very inspirational and elegant.

  • Very inspirational & classy performance.

  • @KingsleyEnnis1 "I don't believe anyone raised that issue," she said mildly.

  • Great, great song !

  • God i am crying

  • divina!

  • Beautiful. Just Beautiful.

  • yes we will.....

  • I would love to sing this...would anyone...ANYONE have sheet music for this????

  • its awesome!!! this song has created history in the feild of music...............DIANA rocks!!!!!1

  • When is she going to get a hair cut, but that song is very beautiful.

  • She is very beautiful

  • magical miss ross!

  • Go! Lady. It's refreshing to hear a singer that knows how to sing and doesn't scream all the time. What I love about Diana is that her phrasing is always impeccable. She makes you feel the lyrics. 50 years in the business and she's still kicking ass. Bravo!

  • que buenoooo me encanta este tema tiene una vos espectacular!

  • Beautifully done Diana Ross. Beautifully done.

  • we shall live in peace, today.

  • Moving

  • Perhaps the best Diana's live performance of all times. Diana sings with so much conviction and the musicians, the choir and the overall arrangement are excellent.

  • Its all about freedom and getting rid of predudice Thanks Diana you ve done it again girl

  • iLIKE the beginning, how they/SHE did it.. it was different, but a good different!!

  • wow this is amazing it's so beautiful thank you so much for sharing this God bless you

  • Diana did a great ,and truly heartfelt version of this. YES WE NEED IT FOR ALL, RACES, GENDERS, AND THOSE SUFFERING.

    Thank you for posting.

  • so beautiful, thank you Diana Ross for your hope - the days are upon us now

  • I love her constant hair flipping... its frigging cute!!

  • @AShelf

    I love too love her constant hair flipping! I also love the way she negotiates the elegant sprint. Ms. Ross personifies professionalism!

  • @AShelf

    I love the way she flips her hair too -- tactile iconography. I also loved the elegant sprint at the beginning. Ms. Ross personifies professionalism.

  • damn just too amazing!

  • Beautifully rendered.Thank you for posting. We need this message now more than ever.

  • Fantastic.....thank you Ms....Ross

  • Hallå, nu tycker jag att vi gemensamt i denna sal sjunger we shall overcome.

  • Incredible!!! It brought tears to my eyes! How I with she would record this... just as is!

  • The First Lady of Music

  • good singer, good orchestra, good cover but .... this song is just one guitar and a lot of true pathos.

  • Love this. Bravo, Bravo, Bravo. Born in an era when people of color was denied so much. Your voice broke down walls and barriers of hate. You dreamed a dream and overcame many obstacles. Deep in my heart I do believe no body does it better, simply the best, greatest diva of all, cream of the crop. Your voice is like a flute in an orchestra. The young artists of today will never understand the struggles of the civil rights movement. Thank You for making a difference. Happy Birthday.

  • @rariv1 So very well said. My sentiments exactly. I have followed this lady in awe since I was five years old. Somehow back then, I felt her spirit. It was 1964. I am amazed that I am still mesmerized by this elegant being. I have felt her growth along with my own, and I cherish moments like this one, where she truly shines seemingly without effort.

  • man, how clearly she sings this..great version.

  • Soooo...

    What is this?

    I've never heard We Shall Overcome like this? This melody is way different.

    Is this a song written just for her?

  • It seems that way, doesn't it? It was probably adapted for this particular concert (where Placido Domingo and José Carreras also performed).

  • @reddupo It's the original arrangement. It's just that intro was rarely heard.

  • i love this song

  • Very nice!  Loved it! Thanks for posting this..... ; )

  • Simply Amazing performance

  • this is really beautiful!

  • i like this alot...it shows versatility...and its not cheesy its just different...

  • Very good performance by miss Ross!

  • too cheesy for me... Go joan Baez<3

  • in 1996 her brother has died

  • I had the fortunate opportunity to be in the audience for this wonderful show......it was fun to watch the stadium filling up.....it was a hot evening in Budapest, in more ways than one.

  • Awesome performance Diana. Very moving.  It brought tears to my eyes.

    I hope I can download this from iTunes.

  • Every time anyone sings this song Pete Seger makes more$

  • AMAZING!

  • when i hear this song i always think of M.L.K.J and i almost start to cry.

  • Beautiful we shall overcome... This song brings tears to my eyes. I love Diana Ross

  • Thank you Diana. Very elegant and above par, as always.

  • I wish that I could get this on a CD!

  • Beautiful! She glides effortlessly and expertly from the most intimate lullaby at the beginning to a passionate anthem and then back to a lullaby, here and there inserting bits of a bluesy lag behind the beat. And the way she sort of nestles in and pauses as she raises her finger at the end is so powerful and dramatic. It's a rare type of vocal style and, sadly, not one much valued by the "America's Idol" crowd.

  • she has an awesome voice and I have an aunt voice that is so similar but she is not as good as Diana

  • @ladymahogany1 : It was never officially recorded. If you'd like the audio version of this, contact me.

  • @NilesNL69

    can yo send me the audio version

  • Thank you Diana. Please get this rendition marketed. Many people had no idea that you'd perform this piece and performed it so beautifully well! I'd love for you to make a come in the vocal scence. This is the perfect market idea for you "Songs of Hope that Inspire People of All Nations" Please give it consideration.

  • PERFECTION in very way.

  • I also have goosebumps and tears in my eyes, when I see this magnificent performance, Yes, Billboard magazine was right proclaiming Diana Ross as THE GREATEST ENTERTAINER OF THE 20TH CENTURY.

    Thank you Diana for great concerts and great music you gave us for decades.

  • God is one who makes people happy. Thank you, Diana Ross.

  • Beautiful, Diana. beautiful! I am going to add this song to my repetoire.

  • this is amazing

  • I'm speechless

  • exceptionally beautiful song, singing, & woman. wow no one is like her.

  • maravilhosa musica e cantora

  • Absolutly fantastic

  • I thought for sure she would sing at one of Obama inauguration events. This song would have been good but IF WE HOLD ON TOGETHER would have made it for me.

  • no le tenemos miedo, a los golpes de estado, prodicidos desde los ee.uu, esta vez no sera la misma historia, hay cientos de millones,en sudamerica, dispuestos a decir,NO A LAS DICTADURAS , SI A LA LIBERTAD, SI A LA DEMOCRACIA, sepan q, no vale la vida sin estos valores, esta vez cuidado,

    mucho cuidado,desde latinoamerica.-

  • this was absolutely beautiful . it gave me goosebumps and made me CRY !!

  • wow imnandi ihlasimlisa umzimba there is nothing more i can say

  • True talent & star power stands the test of time and this woman has managed to stay relevent in every decade since the early 60's.....very few (if any at all!) are capable of such a feat. this video proves why.

  • Stunning! Absolutely beautiful! Classic Diana! She still reigns "supreme"!

  • Well folks it dont get any better than this

  • What an amazing and moving performance. What a voice and what a presence!

  • Believe me sister, you are great and lovely.

  • I wonder if this was ever broadcast in the States. She looked so hot for a woman who was at that time in her early 50's

  • She was the best singer in the Supremes, I don't care what anybody says

  • Spectacular, Excelent....A True Diva...Work Miss Ross!!!

  • Really beautiful

  • Still one of the loveliest voices in the biz. Maybe not one of the most powerful, but so wonderful to listen to for sincerity and quality. Diana Ross gives fantastic performances.

  • who is the songwriter of we shall overcome?

  • Pete Seeger

  • Actually it was written first by Rev. Charles Tindley.

  • how do u know o.0

  • 10 plus

  • Diana Ross is one of this country's natural treasures. She has been overlooked, disrespected despite being one of the most incredible examples of King's dream. She embodies the contradictions Black people people face aspiring to acquire the American Dream. No one in America sings like this.

  • I have waited so long for someone to speak to my sentiment. You have, and I thank you with all my heart.

  • excellent anlaysis

  • i Love this song. Diana did her thing. My aunt sings just like her.

  • im usin this 4 a project.....thanx for posting

  • so lovely and powerful, BRAVO.

  • nce video

  • Beautiful job, Diana

  • Yes It was an anthom used by DR. KING, Yet it is not his lyric's. The race war is won. This belongs to so many oppressed, white,black red, yellow, gay, strait, rich poor. Not a song for one race and one color. Dr. king was a very smart man to adhere to this song.

    Texboy

  • The race war is not over.

  • Agreed. There's still race wars in other parts of the world. With Obama, it's over for The United States Of America. There's still Sri Lanka with the Tamils, LTTE (Liberation Tamil Tigers Eelam), and the Sinhalese. Any some parts of Africa where slavery still continues. This race war will be won and ended. It is essential to our survival that this racial war is ended as soon as possible. WE SHALL OVERCOME this war that has been raging for such a long time.

  • I think Miss Ross. in her loving nature, meant for all those who feel oppressed in the 21st Century to take this song to heart. Especially Gays and Lesbians.

  • Makes you proud...especially now with our new African-American to be President!!

  • a beautiful song sung by a beautiful lady with a beautiful heart. i have never seen this before, thank you soo much for posting it x x

  • Thanks, I'm glad you like it ;-)

  • We are truly overcoming age old prejudices and barriers by the special grace of JESUS CHRIST our Lord, GOD and Messiah! See what HE has done through Brother Barack Obama's massive election victory. Praise the Lord JESUS CHRIST forever, Amen! GOD bless you, Sister Diana Ross, Amen!!!

  • lINDISSIMA INTERPRETAÇÃO, BELISSIMO

  • Diana can sing!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Amen! Beautiful

  • So much class and beauty.She`s given the American songbook so much to treasure.

  • Done Beautifully, Chokes me up......

  • Only Diana Ross could sing a Political songso beautifully. I wish she had done it in South Africa.

  • One of my all time favourite songs ...oh so full of meaning....and, sung by one of my all time favourite singers!!!

  • Tht was beatiful...

  • mesmerizing, isn't she.

  • Wat is dit mooi !!!!!

  • Catalunya, in Europe, under the power of spanish government is hardly pushed for her culture to disappear. This summer we use "we shall overcome" in order to let all tourists her what is our reality.

    We are like all other tribes and people on earth, we deserve respect and freedom.

    We used to sing this song at church in our chilhood, and we still remind of itand wanna believe WE SHALL OVERCOME. Thanks.

  • I shared this with all my friends, family, and former students. There has never been a more beautiful expression of a more beautiful sentiment. The song itself is the incarnation of truth, and Diana is the incarnation of beauty. As Keats said, "Beauty is truth, truth beauty,—that is all / Ye know on earth, and all ye need to know." Thanks for this amazing gift, Niles!

  • You're welcome ;-)

  • Wonderful. Gives me chills. She has so much emotion in her voice. I believe her.

  • Her voice was beautiful on this song..deep in my heart I do believe someday we'll all be free, someday we'll all be free :-)

  • It made me teary eyed. It was just beautiful.

  • Thankyou also for posting this amazing performance. She is the Diva, and you to for sharing it with us. thankyou thankyou thankyou.
