  • @78timothy It's an embarrassing and sad comment of reality regarding the USA, but oh so true. I don't think we'll ever grow up. She was the Diana Ross of the times, but the USA didn't get to see it for the most part. She was a consummate entertainer to boot

  • I'm speechless that was INCREDIBLE from a LEGEND that will live on forever and ever, Thank You so much for posting this treasure. BLESS YOU.
