Many have criticized this woman for her self indulgence ..After seeing this show 29 yrs later I am just at awe of how calm and motherly she was in this tense situation..Surely a woman of class
she handle it beautifully they wanted her too get OFF stage i do not fault her period cause she saw them pushing each other the camera was not on them but she put a stop to it some times Moma comes out she was already a Mom back in that time i enjoy both days Live when that concet was on Show time cable tv i was just shy of 13 years old that year i was glued to my big color tv set
Some people don't like a strong minded person, I guess but this lady has talent galore, plus high intelligence, spirit and care for her audience. This perforrmance might just be the pinnacle of her career because of her exceptional communucation skills and attentiveness. I was in New York that day. The storm was really intense and lasted for hours.
Diana Ross has shown over and over she is in fact the real deal there is no other out classing the word class, and showing over and above the word superstar all that can truly be said about this lady is wow .And the detractors that would say something negative has nothing else to do Diana did it she came she conqured and she left ,and she did it 2 days in a row over 1.3 and a half million audience members not counting worldwide tv. viewers which was countless. Diana Ross triumphed like no other
she called the hospitals police stations rumors flew about stabbings no one came in to be treated for stabbed wounds only problem was they got over heated had to be taken to a hospital to rest
This is one of the greatest moments in music history. Diana is radiantly beautiful and delivers an Academy Award performance for this concert. She is the perfect artist.
I am going to hate losing Diana someday. But I want her music at my memorial. I have here since 60s... God bless u Diana for your voice. U have brought such joy to me and my heart. It's taught me kindness and loving others no matter what color my brothers or sisters are. Hippie linda
What an ICONIC moment in pop music history! Diana's voice sounds exquisite even under these very challenging circumstances. Whom, but Diana Ros could both sound and look that amazing while wet and singing in the rain?! Truly AMAZING!!! Thank you Miss Ross!
Dripping wet....looking incredible!!!!!!!......my good GOD!!!!....thank You for coming through with Diana and this special, special moment....I so love it....I remember this moment from my childhood.....❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
They don't let stars like that in the spotlight, and the younger generation have moved away from talent like that...I feel if a talent like that was set in the spotlight, they would manage to turn that person into something trashy, because that's how ''good'' business is today :(
The music stars today are not nearly as impressive. I can't believe the type of music they sing too. Beyonce doesn't even come close on quality. I mean who really likes Single Lady and the outfits are basically rubbish. Bruno Mars has potential though.
Good God, how I love Diana Ross. She did that performance flawlessly in the rain. Such class and grace. A True legend and performer. Classic performance, classic Diana. We will never see a star of this magnitude that will hold it down like this live on such a huge stage during a storm. She kept the audience captivated at the same time. They were with her from the start and would have stayed despite the rain had she continued. Diana Ross is simply the best. Forever, Diana Ross.
I don't know the age group commenting here. But, whoever you are, remember this! There will be Great moments in music history and this was one of them!
Beyonce will feel a drop and run away quick my hair my hair lol not Diana she stay out there for 47 mintues finally told them to go home we will do again the next day she did
This is THE greatest concert for me. Beyonce of course has Coachella, which was great, but it was pure entertainment....Diana though is giving us the height of elements, drama, glamour, protest and LEGEND. It's Diana for me always.
Diana trying to control 800,000 adoring fans in the audience during a thunder storm with the rain pelting down on her. Was indeed, one for the history books. It was at the very moment I knew she was a Superstar! And for that, she has my endless love! ❤️
i remember when this happened in 1983. Miss Ross is the best. I met her in 1995. Will never forget that moment! she signed a cd booklet for me. I love you Miss Ross
Ralphie she thought she failed that night when it thunder lightning pouring rain she made me cry during that Endless Song with Robert i will never forget it beautiful woman inside and out her spirit that you would to invite to for dinner on Sundays and like Supreme Song SAYS no wind or rain can stop her she did that with 100% class and love her fans even more i was not there but i did see this on Show time Live 13 years old that day
@@kevinmansell8746 I was in NYC that day on holiday in USA for the first time. We had a stroll in Central Park about an hour before the concert without knowing about it. The storm was so bad later. I feel a real connection with this because I was over there. I somehow feel lucky that I was there when this special event was happening. I'm so happy that it's here on RUclips to see. This makes me realise that she is a special kind of person to be so attentive to the needs of everyone else, as well as performing wonderfully as everything around her is going into chaos and danger.
@@kevinmansell8746 It must have been a bitter blow for this to happen really. She so deserved to get the go ahead for the show to be done again the next day when the weather was gorgeous. I remember. I was on holiday in NYC for the only ever time on those two days and three more days after. I feel pŕivileged to have been only a mile away.
I was only 13 yrs old; we drove from Bridgeport, CT. to the Bronx for a Church function, which we had arrived a little too early for. Smartie driver decided to drive to Central Park. On my way to the restroom with the older kids, it came down. I could not see the hand in front of my face without feeling like my eyes would pop, from opening them so wide. All I could see was a wall of pure white in front of me, and the wind was pretty intense. I've never been that petrified in my life... =)
I was there too . I was with 5 of my best friends. We stayed until they stopped the show. We couldn't go the next day because of work. We were all dancers and had a show the next day. But what an experience to be there and see Diana "singin in the rain." I have been a life long fan of hers.
she mad history with this concert because she still sung in that rain.. and calm the crowd down to leave to come back the next day for her to do the concert all over again.. SIMPLY AMAZING !!
That's my girl. I live in Pittsburgh and that rain storm hit us first. It was one of the worst storms in history. We were completely glued to the TV, watching this live concert. Happy Birthday Miss Ross!
I was on holiday in NYC for the only time, with family friends. I was 17 and we hit turbulence over the city flying in. That was scary and when we left the plane, the hot humid air hit me. We walked in Central Park and we didn't know why so many people suddenly flocked in. I couldn't believe I was in Central Park being from a low income background in UK. Later the storm was huge and we were eating supper somewhere, glad to be deep inside a building! The rain was like being in the shower. The next day was gorgeous. We heard all about the concert then. I wish we had gone the second day but I'm so glad to have been in the city so close to this. NYC was awesome, from the point of view of an English boy. I'm glad I found these recordings of the concerts.
Two hearts that beat as one. You’ll be the only one. No one can deny the love I have inside and it began 2 years ago exactly with one look. 🙈 just one look changed my life always and forever 💙🌹♥️
+Andrew Howe must had been an amazing night i watch this when i was 13 years old Live on show time which i did not see because show time cut it due to the rain and thunderstorm amazing job she kept the fans calm no other would have stood out there with rain and lightning rain pours winds it is amazing she stayed there
+Kevin Mansell I'll never forget it! Miss Ross returned the following night and I went along with some friends. We had to abandon our picnic when we were "steamed" by a group of kids. Diana became a client of mine in London in the late 80s when I worked in the fashion business.
This is a spirit-driven woman who has much faith. There is not another star I know that would have continued to sing in this weather & remain afterward in this capacity, especially for a free concert. I wish she would have just sung the Lord's Prayer. She just has a melodic voice in whatever she sings.
Kevin Honestly, even though Beyonce has modeled herself after Diana Ross in some ways. In terms of voice & style, Diana has always been more refined in every aspect. Even the quality of Diana’s voice is better. Beyonce is a good artist for what she does, but is really not on Diana’s level.
I arrived in NYC that day on my only ever holiday abroad. It was so humid. We walked in Central Park and had no idea why so many people were coming in. Then we went for supper and got soaked near Radio City music hall. The sky here is so MEAN and nasty. Then the storm came. The next day was gorgeous and clear. We went up the Empire State. Wow, I will never forget those days in my lifetime. I'm glad I was just in NYC that day.
It feels like just yesterday when this was in my ears and in my eyes..Miss the times back when...Blessings to all the ones who love and want love..Christopher
This woman is a DIVA! How many artist do you think would stand thier happy ass in that rain and perform, plus still sound that good...none comes to mind. She can to perform and give a show and she did. She even kept her promise and showed up the next day to continue.
what do you wanna hear? Play Rythem in the Sky by Stevie Wonder play ah Play Endless Love By Lionel Richie i am going to sing Endless Love By Richie can you ? i want everybody to calm down ! i love this woman she makes me more calmer in my life today
this is the true meaning of what it means to be a star! when she kept singing in the rain, she let the world know that she cares for her fans! she even came back the next day because eventually she did have to stop the show!
Diana Ross has such a 70s vibe - so deeply connected to reality and nature. She really did care about what 800k people exiting the park in an oncoming storm would have created. Such tremendous leadership.
Same here. I arrived in New York for the only time ever, on this day 21 July 83. I remember the heat and then the storm so well. The next day, the weather was gorgeous. Diana was gorgeous both days of course.
Oh this made me cry! I love Diana Ross. I only made it through my childhood because I imagined that she was my Mother. I didn't have a good Mother and I learned how to love myself through Diana's music. She was and still is a great example for me. Thanks for posting her clips.
Such a true entertainer right there! Not only is she singing in the rain but she sings a song to calm the crowd down. Now I know where Selena got it from. Diana is truly a legend!
@@kevinmansell8746 It was a massive thunderstorm. The day was so hot and humid and the sky was filthy. The turbulence flying in was scary. I arrived in NYC that day; my first foreign holiday. The next day, the weather was gorgeous, sunny and clear.
This is what makes DIANA the star she is... this is what seperates her from her contemporaries. Can you imagine Aretha or Gladys standing in pouring rain on a stage and performing? I can't.... This was the pinnacle of a legendary career...
I remember this like it was yesterday. She was at the top of her game. This concert truly made history around the world. Everyone was talking about it the next day. We love you Diana. You are timeless.
kept getting darker and darker as the song was ending she told her stage people no i do not want that i do not want too she was been giving a big towel to dry off she said no she wanted to be wet like everyone else amazing lady
My brother & I used to duet to this song all the time!! Whenever we were bored, we would duets for our family to entertain them! The good old days!! 💘 👪 🏡 😍 💃 🎶 👀 💋
yeah when it was on it cut early lost the signal due to the Thunderstorms it was restore Still Showtime could not get the signal back on yes i am happy we finally got to see it over and over again
this mammoth concert could have turned into an unprecedented nightmare...however, her historic performance has not yet been given the credit deserved. truly legendary.
I was there both days and agree that Miss Ross was at the top her game and handled the unexpected.... I have always loved what she did, in group or solo.
What an amazin lady!Only Diana could calm Hundreds of thousands in a rain storm. It seems like yesterday watching this super nova star perform in the concert that topped All others. This one is for the record books.
I just saw Miss Ross at the Hollywood bowl last night pure 100% class of the same at 78 years old she has not lost her touch sweet loves her fans she's truly an icon. Love you, Miss Ross
i love miss ross...she did not want to leave that stage....a true professional in every sense of the word....the show must go on...aint no mountain high enough for diana....love, love, love!
Maybe the best images of Diana Ross was in this C. Park 1983 show when was raining in her face. This image is FOR EVER! Today doesn't have stars like that, unfortunately.
i want too give special thanks to the men who were working the lights in the Dangerous Intense Lightning Storm and Camera Crew Men on stage they still had too work thank you so much for everyone who were there July 21st and 22nd 1983 most memorable moment in our life time
she made everyone feel safe while severe thunderstorm was in progress wonderful performer and talent singer iam always a fan of diana ross the queen of soul personally too me!
Thank thank you so much that is so beautiful that's what I wanted to do for one person in my life 3 years ago happiness love joy peace to going moving forward God I love you I believe all the beautiful angels in the world🙏😇🙏🇺🇸 the rain is for the new beginning start over
i see this concert live in my mind alot it is stuck to me no other concert effected me i was 13 years old watch it on Show time not HBO NOT Cinemax Showtime
it was really rolling with thundering and lightning i saw it it did stopped briefly but it kept getting darker and darker amazing that her back upsingers ask her too stay then she told her adoring fans she will stay but their safety comes first ladies and gentlemen and children leave the park calmly quietly she will do it again the next day which the weather was beautiful the following the day.what legendary artist diana ross stays soak and wet and a severe thunderstorm! she was amazingly brave!
She is truly a spiritually led person. This is what drives this woman. Through whatever she faces she always seem to soldier through it. I admire that! Even in this storm, she is praying to God as she is humming “The Lord’s Prayer” for guidance. That anointment is in the beauty of her voice & aura so that's why she need not be compared to another.
Have the happiest of birthdays, Arian World Music & Fashion Diva & Empress!! Happy Birthday to my beautiful Godsistah, Ms.Monee Reid-Thrasybule; enjoy with your family this evening & love you always!! 💘 🎶 ♈ 💃 😍 🎼 👗 👡
@aaaniimeThis is my favorite moment from CP. I'm a major Diana Ross fan and have seen her perform so many amazing things since 1964 that I can't list them here,but this certainly is way up there. She's an outstanding performer who still slays audiences better now than ever, but there are moments, here and there, where her brilliance and uniqueness defy even my own high standards of awesome. I've met & spoken with her. She's always kind, gracious, warm and real. She is what special really means.
I met a girl at this concert who I married in the park 2 years later and who is sitting here watching this with me 27 years later. Thank you, Diana!
god bless your heart
Beautiful love story❤Thanks for sharing!
Wow! God bless you two. May you have many many more years together.
What a beautiful story .God bless you both

Correct. i Worked at her private concert in Houston several years ago. The most Amazing
Stars of today do not have this kind of discipline.

i would have stay for that rain too i want them all safe and sound
she was never afraid of the storm but her fans she was frighten because it was lightening intensely and rain pouring

Beautifully sang and that piano playing in the rain in all was on the money. One of my favorite Diana Ross performances of Endless love.
I was there, right up front. One of my best life experiences.

i was scared for every one safety in That time i was 13 saw it Live in 1983
This is iconic no other artist ever omg the grace of her is just amazing
I want to give a shoutout to Lancôme wet..mascara didn’t run..
This has me in tears!
A beautiful woman with a beautiful voice!
she mad history with this concert because she still sung in that rain.. and calm the crowd down to leave to come back the next day for her to do the concert all over again.. SIMPLY AMAZING !!
she did not leave until everyone left the park in the rain day one

A true entertainer. The show must go on. The rain didn't stop The Boss. Diana Ross is a legend, icon and a Worlwide treasure.
the show will not stop it does not need to stop it is only rain
Two hearts that beat as one. You’ll be the only one. No one can deny the love I have inside and it began 2 years ago exactly with one look. 🙈 just one look changed my life always and forever 💙🌹♥️
THIS SHOW WILL NOT STOP!!!!
I will watch and listen to your songs over and over because of the Truth they speak of. Peace on Earth be you, Diana. 😊
What memories. My mom and sisters watched this together
I WAS THERE!

wow she is a true performer and i know the rumors were false about people being stabbed and robbed
Must have been fun!!!!!!!
Was the crowd rowdy?
she said sing it louder ROBERT she shared the stage
she put her mind and soul in this song you go Lady Diana !
Oh my her voice is soothing The Original Diva,one of the great singers of our time, I loved her
this need to be on CD
“ This rain is for the flowers ,it’s only gonna make us grow “🤎
This is a spirit-driven woman who has much faith. There is not another star I know that would have continued to sing in this weather & remain afterward in this capacity, especially for a free concert.

Beyonce expect to hit the high note each time like Mariah
BeYAWNCE nooooooo!...Zero Comparison, perhaps still a diva in "training" compared to Ms. Ross the real "Boss" bish 😂🤣😂🤣😂😂🤣😁😁🤣🤣
God was there that day to keep her calm and her fans

this is the true meaning of what it means to be a star! when she kept singing in the rain, she let the world know that she cares for her fans! she even came back the next day because eventually she did have to stop the show!
this part i know from word to word i felt like i was that stage with her day of 1983 Live summer of July
Her voice is beautiful!!
Diana Ross has such a 70s vibe - so deeply connected to reality and nature. She really did care about what 800k people exiting the park in an oncoming storm would have created. Such tremendous leadership.
my 1st concert
Yes ma'am!! I've developed a new found love for this phenomenal woman after seeing this concert.🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼❤️
Same here. I arrived in New York for the only time ever, on this day 21 July 83. I remember the heat and then the storm so well. The next day, the weather was gorgeous. Diana was gorgeous both days of course.
this definitely needs to be complete recordings concert LIVE on CD
She's so amazing!! I'm glad there's so much footage available of her from the 60s/70s/80s because all the best performances were before my time
Flawlessly unstoppable - great performer, a second to nobody!
reasoning her voice cracked just for a moment because of the rain got cold temps did drop but she got back on track singing wonderfully
Oh this made me cry! I love Diana Ross. I only made it through my childhood because I imagined that she was my Mother. I didn't have a good Mother and I learned how to love myself through Diana's music. She was and still is a great example for me. Thanks for posting her clips.
Seeing This Lady At Four Years Old On Television Changed My Life!! Brings Back Beautiful Memories. God Bless Her 🌹🌹🌹 ThankYouMsRoss!!
i dont remember 4 i woke up at 6 i feel awful lol
Such a true entertainer right there! Not only is she singing in the rain but she sings a song to calm the crowd down. Now I know where Selena got it from. Diana is truly a legend!
the show will not STOP it does not need to stop it is only rain! i still got that stuck in my head

Just Amazing! Do you can feel that inside you? That is the power of love.
This is what makes DIANA the star she is... this is what seperates her from her contemporaries. Can you imagine Aretha or Gladys standing in pouring rain on a stage and performing? I can't.... This was the pinnacle of a legendary career...
Aretha most definitely can and so could Gladys
she needs a BET Award and another Life Achievement award
She is such a show business professional. I love and respect Ms Ross so much! Shes among the best ever!!!
we can not find many professionals like her today
I remember this like it was yesterday. She was at the top of her game. This concert truly made history around the world. Everyone was talking about it the next day. We love you Diana. You are timeless.
kept getting darker and darker as the song was ending she told her stage people no i do not want that i do not want too she was been giving a big towel to dry off she said no she wanted to be wet like everyone else amazing lady
i have met her in person. she is incredible.
the show will NOT stop!
there's no reason for it to stop...it's only rain!!!!
man, I love this woman...

this mammoth concert could have turned into an unprecedented nightmare...however, her historic performance has not yet been given the credit deserved. truly legendary.
it is so under rated not much respect it should be talked about every year
Wow.. and she stayed on wet n all..amazing beautiful lady❤️🌧️ ..rain is for the flowers it will make us grow .. beautiful 💕
So AMAZING what an exciting ANGEL 😇 I think about my younger Days every time I listen to Diana Ross speaking And Singing
I love that after she sang endless love, she was singing and humming the lord's prayer. A beautiful woman, a true artist. I was there at this concert.
I was there right up front. Am still enjoying the experience.
I was there both days and agree that Miss Ross was at the top her game and handled the unexpected.... I have always loved what she did, in group or solo.
i do not need a transcript i know all her loving words to her fans to keep them calm to this very day
What an amazin lady!Only Diana could calm
Hundreds of thousands in a rain storm. It seems like yesterday watching this super nova star perform in the concert that topped
All others. This one is for the record books.
This concert. This Woman.

Maybe the best images of Diana Ross was in this C. Park 1983 show when was raining in her face. This image is FOR EVER! Today doesn't have stars like that, unfortunately.
i want too give special thanks to the men who were working the lights in the Dangerous Intense Lightning Storm and Camera Crew Men on stage they still had too work thank you so much for everyone who were there July 21st and 22nd 1983 most memorable moment in our life time
She's amazing~
she made everyone feel safe while severe thunderstorm was in progress wonderful performer and talent singer iam always a fan of diana ross the queen of soul personally too me!
I love Diana Ross! I would love to see her in concert
Great
I got there after the park was full and was pushed to the front by police barricades. Best concert experience ever.
This veiwer would love to see a magical duet with Ms. Diana Ross & Ms. Angelina Jordan - Two Super Nova's...
Incredible !
LOVE DIANA!!!!
Thank thank you so much that is so beautiful that's what I wanted to do for one person in my life 3 years ago happiness love joy peace to going moving forward God I love you I believe all the beautiful angels in the world🙏😇🙏🇺🇸 the rain is for the new beginning start over
Miss Ross... What an incredible singer and performer!!!
i see this concert live in my mind alot it is stuck to me no other concert effected me i was 13 years old watch it on Show time not HBO NOT Cinemax Showtime
😢 Love it !!! Diana you're the greatest !!! 😢
That Make-Up Never Smeared!!!❤
it was really rolling with thundering and lightning i saw it it did stopped briefly but it kept getting darker and darker amazing that her back upsingers ask her too stay then she told her adoring fans she will stay but their safety comes first ladies and gentlemen and children leave the park calmly quietly she will do it again the next day which the weather was beautiful the following the day.what legendary artist diana ross stays soak and wet and a severe thunderstorm! she was amazingly brave!
What a beauty
@XxxValeriexx - it was raining, and she continued singing in the rain.
She is truly a spiritually led person. This is what drives this woman. Through whatever she faces she always seem to soldier through it. I admire that! Even in this storm, she is praying to God as she is humming “The Lord’s Prayer” for guidance. That anointment is in the beauty of her voice & aura so that's why she need not be compared to another.
we need more people like Lady Diana
My GOD.... INFINITE PRO... PERFECT GIRL!
Have the happiest of birthdays, Arian World Music & Fashion Diva & Empress!! Happy Birthday to my beautiful Godsistah, Ms.Monee Reid-Thrasybule; enjoy with your family this evening & love you always!! 💘 🎶 ♈ 💃 😍 🎼 👗 👡
Yo tenía 32 años de edad, ahora tengo 70 y la sigo escuchando y admirando.

she is great..
@aaaniimeThis is my favorite moment from CP. I'm a major Diana Ross fan and have seen her perform so many amazing things since 1964 that I can't list them here,but this certainly is way up there. She's an outstanding performer who still slays audiences better now than ever, but there are moments, here and there, where her brilliance and uniqueness defy even my own high standards of awesome. I've met & spoken with her. She's always kind, gracious, warm and real. She is what special really means.
i met her in person. she is very gracious and signed an autograph for me, i still have it. It is my prized possession
