She may not be the superstar everybody loves, but she was the superstar we needed at this time. She opened up the flood gates for female entertainers
Black female performers.
@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy All women* Diana Ross was and is that powerful. But yeah she did also open it for Black Female entertainers of that’s what you’re highlighting.
There were many other before her.
@@ngangajeremiah9912 Diana was the first major pop diva.
She was the first female African American superstar that was just "A Super Star" ... props to Miss Ross.
I forgot how professional Mike Douglas was. I liked when the other guests spoke and he politely brought it back to Diana... And to him. I had a sense that he was saying this is my show. You speak when I asked you to speak. 🤣🤣
Diana’s honey silk voice is Supreme, as always
There's no one like Diana........ Classy and talented lady and still going strong at 74 !
There are plenty others. They just are not in the lime light like Diana.
@@gegu13 Yeah, but it's not about others.
Diana ross was born too be a star. Whatever "it" is, she have it in spades.
Her speaking voice is like bells... BEAUTIFUL. She's BEAUTIFUL ❤️❤️❤️
Mike Douglas was a class act.
there's such an elegance in the way she speaks. She still sounds the same but not quite like she does here
Yeessss... I agree 😊🌟.. classy classy lady.. and so natural she mixed well and was charming ✨💫...
This interview proves why media training still matters.
Rest in paradise to Mary and Flo back together again 💜 Prayers for Cindy Birdsong 😢 🕊️
I’m sure Lady Day (where ever her soul rests) was pleased with the way Diana honored her legacy. She Diana is now the grand dame and deserves to have her life and legacy portrayed on the big screen.
Nah I believe Billie wouldn't have liked the movie because 90% of lady sings the blues was definitely false on almost everything. She would have loved Diana performance but she wouldn't have loved the movie. Now The United States vs Billie Holiday she would have loved more than lady sing the blues because she it actually tells what actually happened in her life.
the lady can sing anything. even when she speaks her voice caresses you. wat a gift God has given her.
She is simply mesmerizing...I can't take my eyes off her I wAs OBSESSED with her as a child (12y.o) w/this movie came out.....and ironically it introduced me to "jazz" at a very early age..so yes the power of art/cinema ...this is the quintessential Diana Ross, you real see and feel her star power , she reeks of charisma !!!!
I loved Diana as a child too. I first saw her as a 9 year old as she performed in Central Park in 1983. Through Diana's career I was also introduced to jazz music, both with this film and a 1993 jazz album she put out. I enjoyed Diana's contemporary music, her Supremes' music from the 1960s, and her show tunes and standards she has performed - A Chorus Line, Funny Girl, Modern Millie. When I hear the trashy music kids listen to these days I consider myself very lucky to have grown up with Diana playing in my ears.
Lol yep. So was Michael Jackson since 10 yrs old 😁
Was in grade 9 when I happened to be recovering from the flu. Turned television on and lo and behold; Miss Diana Ross was on,!! Remember like it was yesterday! Happy early 76 Diana!!! 😁😁👍
I was in tears good morning heartache. Sit down.
I like the way Diane focuses on the subject. Smart, talented and very pretty here.
She was so attractive omg.
So pretty....Diana really blossomed as she aged. #LEGEND
Ms. Ross is pure elegance & class. side note** The host was captivated lol
Billy Eckstine, Ruth Gordon, Totie Fields and Diana Ross. Now THAT's an afternoon of great people. Show's how young Ms Ross was here if she didn't realize that Mr. B had worked with Billie Holiday. Although, he mostly worked with her rival and his protege, Sarah Vaughan.
More importantly, how much at that time recent African American history was suppressed and left out of the conversation. Also shows that the last two decades of focusing on that history and bringing it out has been an extraordinarily positive thing for everybody.
totie fields looks like the actor divine
Absolutely amazing interview--ruth Gordon is very quiet 😞 iconic group of people
@@quality333 ha ha! I always thought Divine looked like Totie Fields when Divine started to make TV appearances. I wonder now if she was ever a direct influence. She had a much respected and hilarious routine.
I've been enjoying watching interviews with Diana Ross. It's lovely to see how down-to-earth she is. Great, legendary singer and performer. 🙂❤👍🌷🍀🌾🌸🌺
She was a genius at showing the side of her she wanted you to see.
@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy but here you are.....
@@ThatsJustMyBabyDaddy well why are you watching it than nobody forced you to watch it you could have scroll pass it without watching it obviously you like diana ross enough to watch it
@@deborahharrison7348
Those like Ro Ro live on hate even as it is killing them.
Adore Diana !!!!!! She’s a legend !!!!!!
Best interview I ever saw on Diana Ross
A Legend. A movie should be made on her life but not only throughout her band like in dream girls.
I've been a huge admirer of the Boss Miss Ross for Years. It's a huge compliment whenever other people say the I resemble the Elegant & Eloquent Beauty🌹
What a beautiful person diana is she doesent age just gets better looking every time i see her one of God angels and the voice of an angel thank you diana you gave me some of the most beauitful songs with the supreames the best of motown love the way u sing anything!!!
Mike Douglas was such a genial host. Very nice man!
.Miss Diana was so real and sincere and opeaned and her talking voice is so elegant and Crisp High tone and natural . then her first Soprano was very rich in tone and she goes to a lot of ranges on " I cryed for you " I. wished she sung more like this style .because it gave her .more. of a variety of vocal dynamic s . more soulful . she is a 10 on mike Doug las .1970
ICON! 😊
Her voice... live was fantastic, her tone even and solid which is unherd of now. When some one sings live M/C it's actually a trick reck !!!!
The greatest superstar there ever was.sublime
What a tremendous piece of history...
Diana is Amazing !.
National Treasure !!!
Fantastic interview and singing. True songstress 💜
I was delighted she said You’ve Changed and Good Morning Heartache were her favourites. Whilst GMH is the standout. Her performance of You’ve Changed (imo) was the closest she came to sounding like Lady Day.
This is a gem! Loved it!
Wow - loved "Good Morning Heartache" here.
The BOSS!!😍☀️
GOOD MORNING HEARTACHE ❤️❤️❤️🎵🎵🎵🔥🔥🔥🎤🎤🎤
Classy lady
A star ⭐️
Thank you for bringing it back.....such great memories.
I always loved watching the Mike Douglas show and of course Diana Ross. Wow, this was the year of my graduating High School.
LOVE THIS. Such an artist
This was after Tracee was born awwww💜💙
Wow...what an amazing and rare clip. THanks so much for posting!!
I remember this show back then. I was age 11 during 1972. This show and Merv Griffin show were on every weekday afternoon. Sometimes I watched these shows during summer.
This is painfully good! Thank you for posting!!
Diana, Nice Voice.
i went to see this movie Lady sings the blues 8 times when it came out
Great clip
AWESOME interview. Never saw this before. Thanks for posting.
That was just a gem, yeah shame about the words/numbers on the screen but loved every single minute of that. She was stunning here!
Just Wow. Thank you so much for this unbelievably wonderful and appreciated share! 😍
OMG I recognize a certain level of vulnerability in her that I had not understood before.
I would love to see that Mike Douglas show with the Supremes and the Temptations joining together for the first time circa 1966! Notice the guests on the panel as they contribute to the coversation, Diana strictly ignored them! What a lady!
And Miss Ross didn't even go over and acknowledge the other guests when she first walked out and she even left before the show was over. But MIss high and mighty did have the time to stay and commiserate and interact with the other guests.
Great interview!!! Thanks for posting.
Délicieuse Diana Ross.
I was obsessed with LADY SINGS THE BLUES when the movie came out. I do remember this very Mike Douglas afternoon interview, and when I saw Diana here, I was over the moon. As many are stating this talk is the very best of Diana Ross. Her sincerity on her press tours for LSTB is something I have always remembered. Diana wanted to inspire people, speaking with ellegance and purpose. A cut above. Indeed, Mike Douglas seems beguiled... Again, this is the Diana Ross I most remember over the "I'm Coming Out" disco queen of later years... And yes, she does seem incredibly nice and accommodating in this vulnerable interview, despite a different kind of reputation that would later follow her...
She was at her most beautiful here IMHO.
A couple of things are interesting about her. You can tell the famous Motown “charm school”(artist and development) she took probably more seriously than any other person at the Motown. Second I saw when I was teenager in NYC in a restaurant and interestingly although people recognized her they weren’t going crazy for autographs. But what I remember most was how much she seemed to watch people around her. I thought that was very different from many stars who seem to ignore what’s happening around them. I thought that said a lot about her awareness not just in music but in life as well…
Yes finally a fan channel! ❤️
I so wish those letters and numbers were not in the middle. That is so messed up. It's even more too bad because the quality is great.
I know right!!!! the quality is SO GREAT but those letters!!! :((((
right!!
Stacy Casey Lovejoy its great as it is
arthur prysock totte fields.
RIGHT
most of these come from a dutch company that archived many shows so someone used the original feed but we would likely not see them at all if they didnt post so I appreciate the posts.
First time seeing this clip very smart and talented woman and classy I saw this movie when I first came out saw with my parents along with the Godfather I was 12 years old at the time such a beautiful woman and a great singer
I think, every other girl of the Supremes has been more talented and prettier than Diana, but she had the guts to make it big
Maybe I'm an ignoramus, but I prefer Diana Ross' s versions of these old great songs to Ms. Holliday's.
You probably love the mellow sound of Diana's voice as apposed to Billie's style of singing. There are others who favor other Artists' version of her songs as well. I love Bille's style of singing because it doesn't depress you.
Many Artists don't know how to deliver the songs like that, so you get the true sadness of some of Billie's Songs when they sing them.
No you're not an ignoramus at all. You just have zero taste
wow. I love the video but the tape imprint is so distracting. I know unfortunately those daily shows back then did not preserve a lot of tape. Years ago I started to collect a significant number of Ross's taped interviews and performances throughout her entire career. I'll have to go through my catalog and see if I have this. Without the imprint this tape would be quite wonderful for Ross fans and Mike Douglas fans. I'm happy to see this just the same though.
Great performance...and right after her talented and sexy daughter Tracy was born.
The QUEEN DIVA DIANA ROSS

👋 Diane Ross Fan Club Hi there, I love Diane Ross and the Supremes, what a movie that was, I loved it, as well as Mahogany. Diane Ross has it in her to be the actress that she is. She also made the movie➡Double Platinum with Brandy, and a few more. What a wonderful beautiful women she is. 💕Where ever you are Ms.Diane Ross you have a fan for life!💕 👏🎵🎤❤🎤🎶👏 (☺😷🙋✌)
Wow! I can't believe that's the legendary BILLY ECKSTINE sitting there with that big afro. I didn't recognize him @ all. He is such a phenomenal musician and SINGER. Just tremendous and I loved his duets with another icon SARAH VAUGHAN. Just spectacular.
at 23:21 was back in the day when men hold a woman's hand to assist her in getting up
As if women were that helpless.
JACK ANTHONY it’s not that women were helpless. It was just a man being a gentleman.
Men still do that lmao
@@bgcrp2005 nope, never seen it
she looks great in wigs
I think of LSTB on Broadway with me impersonated ms. Billie and sing her songs, i design her dresses, co-conduct the music. Bring on Broadway is tough, you rehearsal six or seven days in a week in six hours. Man that's a pain, I don't mind, it's Broadway! I got to lift my voice like Billie, dance and feel the depts of hatred and hunger through drug addiction
That's what I ready to Keep my vision happen . Thank you.
It was a real shame that she didn’t get the Oscar for Lady Sings The Blues.. I believe it said in one of the books about her life that Hollywood didn’t like Berry Gordy’s behavior at the time. He acted like it was a sure thing that she would win and it cost her to lose to Liza Minnelli. Who knows if it’s true.
Just saying...Caberet was a horrible movie and Liza's performance was amateurish and kind of "campy" at best. Liza's daddy, Vincent Minelli, still had a lot of influence in Hollywood and I think that's why Liza got the Oscar. Diana's performance was superb, impeccable and she should have won. Like so many others through the years, she was robbed. That's Hollywood for you.
@@carmenfender4793 Thank you for that comment Carmen! 👌
There was no way Liza was going to lose with her pedigree, that simple.
and that is jazz.
People were always harshly divided on her. Berry had almost gone to a Citizen Kane-like obsession with someone who was really just ok at best.
@wayydowneast
And yet, it's subjective. I do understand the appeal, although I wasn't a true fan, but I do get why she mesmerized so many. 🤷🏻♀️
U KNOW NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS ABOUT MISS DIANA ROSS SHE'S UNDENIABLY UNTARNISHED AND HER VOICE VOCALS ARE. STRONG SWEET SOOTHING ENCHANTING SPIRITUAL AND GRACIOUSLY SOFT . PEOPLE THAT HATE ON HER OBVIOUSLY HAVEN'T JUST SAT AND WHACHED A LIVE PERFORMANCE AS THIS OR DIANA ROSS IN CENTRAL PARK 1984 WORLDWIDE WHICH THE. FIRST DAY RAINED OUT AND SHE STAYED RISCKING HER LIFE DRENCHED WITH HUNDREDS OF ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT ON STAGE TO MAKE SURE TE CROWD GOT OUT SAFELY AND THEN THE NEXT DAY PAID WITH HER OWN MONEY TO FINANCE THE CONCERT THE NEXT. DAY BECAUSE THE GOVERNOR AND POWERS AT BE THEN WOULDN'T REFINANCE IT FOOT THE BILL WITH HER OWN MONEY,,,!!!!!!WHO DOES THAT !!!!MISS DIANA ROSS 🌈🌈💋💕❤️🥰 THINK ABOUT IT HATERS ICON, UNTARNISHED, PASSIONATE,, GRACIOUS, UNREFUTED SUPER ⭐ MISS DIANA ROSS DESERVES HER DIE PROPS AND RESPECT ALL THE HEARSAY GOSSIP IS JUST THAT GOSSIP AND HEARSAY DIANA ROSS IS A FENOMINON AND SOME MOR THAN ENTERTAINER OF THE CENTURY SHE'S ENTERTAINER OF THE MOLINON ..... MISS ROSS MAY OUR HEAVENLY FATHER ABOVE BLESS KEEP PROSPER HEAL AND FILL YOU AND ALL YOUR'S TODAY AND ALWAYS IN JESUS BLESSED NAME AND AMEN LOVE YA MISS ROSS 🌈🥰💗💕💕⭐⭐⭐😂💋💋❤️🌈
UGH!! I'm so bothered by those letters :(
is there any way that we can remove it ..?
Glam Jackson I'm sorry, but I found it with the letters.
If you look at her, she still looked the same here as she did with the Supremes..And still look the same today..Just older.. Remember, she just had Tracey..
She was a Mom of 2 here.
I feel sorry for the lady at 11:46 ....she complimented the movie, they looked her way and then started back talking to each other .... you can see her embarrassment and she makes a comment to the fact that she should not have said anything.
Sweets Sweeter I said the same thing the first time I watched, but Diana was mid-sentence before the lady BUTTED in, and she was not even looking at Diana.
JloveLamar ... yeah even if someone interrupts you with a compliment the classy thing to do is say thank you and then resume your conversation if that's what you choose to do.
Sweets Sweeter The classy thing to do, however, the Lady was not even looking at Diana. She was looking at the man as if it were the man's performance in the film she were complementing. Not Diana. She not only interrupted, but was referring to Diana and did not even have the decency to look at her. The classy thing to do here was just what she did. Since she was not being spoken to, she turned her head.
JloveLamar .... it doesn't matter who she was talking to ......if someone complimented me with that much excitement about my accomplishment I would definitely say thank you..... if she was back in the Surpreme days she would have said thank you a million times because Motown groomed them for this type of stuff and knew better so shame on you for trying to give her a pass!!... don't even bother hitting me back with another rebuttal because I won't even bother reading it.
Sweets Sweeter First of all, she was not complimenting her. She was paying her a compliment THIRD PARTY. She said, "MY DAUGHTER SAID THAT IT WAS THE BEST FILM SHE'S EVER SEEN." If she were talking to Diana, she would have looked directly at her. She was talking to the man as if Diana were not even there, or as if he were her Massa. Was she looking for HIM to thank her?
Miss Ross hadn't shaken the Billie Holiday character completely at this point. If you notices she uses a lot of mannerisms she used in the movie and even her speech pattern goes in and out.
She's not quite Miss Ross yet here. The diva mannerisms you come to expect from her are absent for the most part. She seems more real.
She earned it and didn't show it during Interviews in the 70's, but from 80's & Beyond there was No hiding it.
Diana Ross was "robbed" her Oscar Nominated Performance! There have been plenty of "First Acting Role" "Oscar Winning recipients" on their first motion picture. But, you can't compare Diana to Halle Berry. When Halle Berry won. In her "Best Actress Category" Halle Berry was the only Actress that year in that category. The everyone else had won an Oscar already! And in the 1970s there were fewer roles for African-Americans. Still today 50years later their still is! Halley won it 50years later! And no other Female African-American has won ever since! I think Halley Berry won it in 2003! Although Diana Ross won they say the second best to an "Oscar": Diana Ross won a "Golden Globe" for her first movie "Lady Sings The Blues". I love the movie & have the DVD. And watch it numerous X times!❤
They stole those oscars from Diana and the entire 5 noms.
Great, but please remove the words and numbers across Miss Ross face.
Yo ! the woman from
her beginning first Mz
diana Ross ❤Detroit
come see about me ❤ Darl'n from Cali

RIP Billy Celestine and Tootsie fields. I really his son's dancing and acting skills like the biscuit eater and Tom Sawyer with Johnny Whittaker.
I definitely love his dancing techniques.
Diana Ross looked nothing like Billie Holiday but did a great job portraying her. Who will play Diana in her biography and will the truth be told? It's too bad the video is obstructed.
Her daughter, Tracy.
@@skip031890 Not if they want it done right.
U KNOW NO MATTER
It seems to me she didn't really like the other guest
I may make a lady sings the blues on Broadway and promote my first merchandise with my perfume empressive.
Ohhh. Perfume? What perfume???
when I did my jazzladdee character on the LifeWorks video collection I had a some strange existence that I'm in between billie and Diane in one whole genre and im still labeling a somewhat rock- fused jazz musician like Hendrix and Janis all in one where center. if you look through the inner sanctum of her pain within a song teal meant the whole surface well, like billie's nightmare allied strange fruit. I played over and over and see how fthy the world is by witch hunting beyond through racism and over sizing the hypocrisy of electing the wrong demons after while. billie's life is more than a book drawn an imperfect life between prositution and drugs. her life is similar to mine I was breaking the stereotype of sexual abuse and silencing the real truth. so thank Mrs billie for showing my heart to open to the world,people really love to see Mrs holiday and jazzladdee in one force of song. it's realism on a canvas as you really want to feel the filthy perverse and gnaw as you true want to make it show and do it. so, I kinda believe in what Mrs holiday had been through hell enough, but jazzy had to put real life aggravation through mathematics and science with realistic with using street knowledge. hatred can be a hard act to show in cinematography, but we had to ad true to the film as like rock and roll and hip hop did.
the text on the screen blocking Diana is irritating
no disrespect to bilie holiday but diana ross did her songs justice
i dont like billie vioce she sounds high and drunk to me
diana ross made her songs sexy and gave her lyric feeling you cant really understand what the songs all about ive never heard of billie hoilday until i seen lady sings the blue when i was 5 years 1977 the movie came out in 1972
No disrespect? But your comment was overall disrespectful
She was thick in weight she just had Tracee.
Who is the woman sitting next to her?
Totie Fields !!!
The HILARIOUS Totie Fields
A Comedian Totie Fields .
The third wheel 😂 let me stop. Joking , im not sure..
