you know what,......that was pretty good, and i am really not a diana ross fan....but she really did sing this pretty good, hitting the high notes in full chest voice...pretty good...
How come that no matter how many times I watch this, I cant help but to get emotional? It gets me every time! Only a performer with some kind of mystical, magical power can do that to a person. "Female Entertainer Of The 20th Century" indeed!!
What a way of meeting people and get to see their talent. At first was reluctant being on youtube, but getting to do this has brought me into the houses of some very special people. You are one of them. Life; isn't it wonderful!
Keep up the good work. Hope You Are Having A Splendid Day!
What's wrong with people's ears that claim this woman couldn't sing? Listen to that voice, it jumps off the speakers -- it's emotive, in tune and articulate. And I can hear her belting it out.
Never saw an opening or ending like this show deivered! This was true Vegas style, . . . BAMM!!! In your face! The lady truly delivered during this entire show. And it almost makes one understand people's critisisms of so many of her other performances, because the ones from this show are perfection.
I just have to say, whenever I need to get inspired I watch this performance. She is my all time favorite female superstar. I don't want to diss anyone, but let me just say that you female artists, particularly the black ones, owe her a HUGE debt and contrary to what anyone thinks.. MS. ROSS IS THE FIRST BLACK POP SUPERSTAR. PERIOD... AND STILL THE BEST THAT EVER WAS.
@rdc300 And you were the pianist for her! What an ego builder that must have been for you! WOW! You must be a world class pianist to be chosen to work with the best. Would love to hear you play sometime. Do you ever upload any of your music?
@garyifny I saw this at age nine when it first aired on HBO - I never forgot it. Was amazed and remember feeling bummed out when the credits started rolling.
@fefecat I agree. She raised her fists in triumph as she walked off the stage, and after THAT performance, she had every right to do so! SPECTACULAR!!!!!
I got this VHS stillto this day and watch it all the time, I remember this concert on HBO too and Dionne Warrick had a concert on HBO that same yr! Diana brother was one of the back up dancers!
Stephan, thank you for sharing this video with us. I remember when it came on HBO back in 1979. I wish they would release it again on dvd maybe Feb.2010 when Diana will celebrate her 50th year in the business. She is a Class ACT.....
This is from a DVD I bought from Amazon. It has a black cover with her name in white handwriting. It has the entire concert, whereas, some other DVDs have just the songs & not the connecting stage patter. This DVD was taken from the original official VHS of the show.
This is when Diana Ross was Diana Ross she is a SUPER STAR....she has that certain something " STARS HAVE " :)
