My mom & grandmother used to go to the balls in Harlem back in the '40's & '50's, where they did all of that stuff long before these guys were twinkles in their fathers' eyes!! LOL
It's very gracious of her to stop the show for so long to introduce her dancers individually. Not many performers do that and it totally flies in the face of all the negative things people say about her.
Yes Mr. Magic... these guys started vogue dancing - technical term back then was WAAKing - & POSEING. Ms. Ross actually found these dancers in a Hollywood dance club called Gino's. Such a fun time to be a part of the street dance scene.
and once again somebody got the history of Waacking and Voguing wrong!! These are both separate dances with vocabulary on their own, and Waacking is not the predecessor of Voguing.
yes... everyone needs to know that Madonna didn't invent vogueing...she came across it when she was hanging out at the gay clubs in nyc where black and latino gays had been perfecting it since the late 60's when it was simply called "performance" in nyc. it wasn't called "vogueing" until the late 70's early 80's as it was named after the publication VOGUE.
I don't think that is a bad thing ... Diana and Beyonce are both some VERY special ladies! Have you guys seen that youtube "Kelly Rowland and the Supremes" The seems to be some big talk about How good Kelly was singing Diana Ross' songs with Mary Wilson backing her up ...if you haven't viewed it you must and post please LOL
Diana Ross, INNOVATOR, INTERNATIONAL ICON, SUPREME DIVA and MOTHER is 63 years old today. This 1979 Live at Ceasar's Palace is one of the greatest performances
the world has ever seen. With her mother, kids and brother at the show, she rocked the house. "THE BOSS"
is often imitated but never duplicated. She is the yardstick by which all others are measured. HAPPY BIRTHDAY! I LOVE YOU.
Man are you right Chrys1001. I saw this show and nearly had a heart attack. The opening alone caught me so off guard I nearly dropped. It was the best. Top this Celine! LOL. Please mrswinedine post the opening on the screen part. It was amazing. Even Shania copied it a bit on one of her vids. No comparison in voice though. Diane the tops of the tops.
Lonnie always does it for me. LOL!

This lady is BAD!!!
Even if she'd never performed another show in her life, she would still be regarded as THE DIVA because of this show alone!!!
