  • Thanx' ....

  • What most people don't know is that the released soundtrack is actually its "watered down" second version. In Motown's vaults lies the ORIGINAL soundtrack. It's said that on that version, Diana sounded so much like Billie, Berry freaked, fearing that Diana would be too closely associated w/ jazz, especially if the film flopped, so to retain her pop career, he had her record a second, Diana-ized version of the entire soundtrack, and the rest, as they say, is history.

  • sorry but can someone tell me about this song, im getting into the 60s:)

  • @yancybby93

    God Bless the Child" is a song written by Billie Holiday and Arthur Herzog, Jr. in 1939, first recorded on May 9, 1941 under the Okeh label.

    This is Diana Ross' version of the song, recorded for her film, "Lady Sings The Blues", a biopic loosely based upon Billie Holiday's 1955 autobiography of the same name.

    Diana's soundtrack for the film peaked at #1 on Billboard's Pop chart in 1972.
