Never officially released on video or DVD and remastered audio from vinyl, I hope you enjoy this very unique "Broadway" tribute from the 1969 TV Special "GIT on Broadway."
Growing up as a teen in the 1960s I had long gotten use to and loved seeing/hearing Diana Ross and The Supremes on TV and albums doing standards along with their own hits. I was totally blown away in Nov. 1969 when this segment of the G.I.T. special came on TV that night. Miss Ross was superb and left no doubt that it was way past time to leave The Supremes.Motownboy thanks so much for this great treasure that you posted.This is ultimate Ross stuff that should have been on DVD decades ago.
I'm sorry but non and I mean NONE Of her contemoparies at this time could've pulled this off and so believable.Not Arethea,Patti, Gladys, Tina or even Dionne.
@cub1955 exceptional, totally puts the idea that DR couldn't sing to rest. I get so sick of people attempting to re-write musical history casting diana as someone who was not really a serious singer.
berry gordy is a fool for not putting this on dvd it would sell like hot cakes come on motown please step up to the plate and put all of diva ms ross specials on dvd come on berry gordy wake up
THIS WAS TOO GOOD FOR WORDS TO DESCRIBE ! ! ! NONE OF THE NEW FEMALE SINGERS CAN DELIVERE LIKE D I A N A !! ! THIS WAS HER GLORY DAYS , SHE CAN DO IT AGAIN IF SHE WANTS TO .
You have no idea how much I have always wanted to see the Leading Lady Medley in its entirety. I had the GIT soundtrack LP On repeat all of my teens, and just had to imagine what was going on from the photos in the fold out cover. Thank you, this has made my day. Finally Miss Ross in all her late 60s glory. Absolute Superstar.
It's really unfair that almost none of Diana's specials(IIRC)are on DVD, as hers are just as great, if not better than(on many levels)than those of other divas.
The Supremes' & Diana's late night show appearances DVDs are literally flying off of the shelves.

Someone involved with Purlie had to have seen this - she looks like Lutiebelle in that armchair singing "People."

It doesn't make sense.
