Those were the times. Many black entertainers of that era 40s 50s, 60s could not perform in whites only establishments or if they did they couldn't stay at the hotels, use the restrooms, drink from the water fountains, eat at the restaurants.etc. Frank Sinatra demanded that Sammy Davis Jr. be treated equally or he would not preform. Green Book won picture of the year in 2019. It depicts some of what African American classical and jazz pianist Don Shirley endured, actor Mahershala Ali who portrayed Mr. Shirley also won an Oscar. I highly recommend it. Geraldine Baker facing the same discrimination here in the US moved to Europe and became a big star particularly in France.
Heroin and drugs have taken so many of our gifted musicians. This incredible performance by Diana Ross tries to show us the power addiction has, more powerful than achieving one's dreams....
Diana Ross, acting and singing in this Billie Holiday performance, is unforgettable! Only me. When I listened to Billie Holiday sing this song, it sounds more of the blues. Love the modern version of Ms. Diana Ross. God Bless
I am not really a Diana Ross fan however, this song done by her was AWESOME. The movie and the album where both awesome. Billy Holiday would have been proud
No "award" will suffice when it comes to my appreciation, admiration, and love for Miss Ross! Her singing And acting has touched various emotions in ways no other entertainer can. Her classic style will always fulfill my enjoyment for such arts in the entertainment world🌻🤲🏾...
Damn what a golden voice..indeed we are blessed to have you and thank God for the magnificent gift of you in our lifes..sweet Diana, thank you..and yes, you should have won an Oscar for this incredible performance!! Bravo!!🙏❤️👏
When this movie came out when I was younger I could hardly wait to buy this album she is an will always be my best female singer there is no one that will ever be such a singer again like her
The music/songs from this film has stayed with me for decades. The album/film was so award worthy. She was perfection in this role....and her voice is like 'silk'! Exquisite! But I often wonder why we never see this movie available for viewing in all this time.
Diana was simply amazing in playing Billie ( this is my fav song from the movie )....I love the fact that she never tried to imitate Billie's voice but sang in her own style.....I only wish the movie had been more accurate, especially concerning the man in Billie's life (he was not what he is portrayed on film).....Bravo Diana ~ 🌺 ❤️ 👍🏻
Doug Zander 1972was good year all around I was 20 in love had my first and only child a daughter that year.The music was great times wre so simple then .
She was so good in that movie! Sometimes I get sad when I think of musicians I know that either are like walking dead, and those that are dead from drugs. Those gown were just elegant. Let me have that gown, that one when Billie Dee gave her that money. That's a gown to style in forever.
I was 14 when I saw this in the movies with my boyfriend and another couple. I made them(I don’t know how- they were older than me) watch the movie AGAIN so I could hear this song. That’s when I fell in love with Billie Holiday
Still melt into tears watching this - she was robbed. Even as I fifteen year-old white boy I knew this & my view has NEVER changed… Surely it’s possible in today’s world to right this wrong???
⭐️DIANA ROSS⭐️definitely the front runner to WIN BEST ACTRESS OSCAR and should have ( altho there was great competition) But in her First movie role she portrayed Billie Holiday so excellent . Great movie and soundtrack ( which should have WON a Grammy Award ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
One of my favorites, I will always feel you deserved that golden statue. (OF COURSE YOU ARE SO MUCH MORE THAN AN AWARD) You told Billie Holiday's story, struggle, strife, and SUCESS. THANK YOU for the beautiful treasure.
I am a huge Diana Ross fan since I was a kid and this tune I have always seen as her best performance. It is this movie that made a young kid ( me ) become a huge Billie fan also ... 😎.... RM
She was robed. Diana absolutely should have won that Oscar.
Definitely!
Oscar's Racism won again
That bish Liza Minnelli won
Yes, I have said this for so many years! This…betrayal STILL angers me.
Don’t understand why Brilliant performance x
Diana Ross OWNS this song!
Billie Holiday made it famous and is most associated with it.
I still melt with this. She should have won that Oscar.
She should have. Liza was good, but Diana was great...
there is no date.. there was no comparison in the demands of the roles.... Diana was very brilliant
@JUST ME THE MOVIE AND THE MUSIC INDUSTRY WAS DIVIDED IN SEPARATE COMPANIES AND TO THE MOVIE INDUSTRY, CRITICS, SHE WAS OUT OF HER PLACE. NOW THEY ARE ALL JOINED IN SIX MAJOR PUBLISHING CO.
You are correct
Yes she should have won the Oscar, she was fantastic
I cried so hard at this film. Love Billie Holiday. She didn't deserve the life she had
Those were the times. Many black entertainers of that era 40s 50s, 60s could not perform in whites only establishments or if they did they couldn't stay at the hotels, use the restrooms, drink from the water fountains, eat at the restaurants.etc. Frank Sinatra demanded that Sammy Davis Jr. be treated equally or he would not preform.

And the OSCAR ..goes to Diana Ross..Lady sings the Blues..❤❤❤
That's what I said😢
DIANA ROSS should have won an Oscar for this ROLL!!!! She still takes my breath away!
For real, on all accounts!
You got that right.
Diana Ross should have won an academy award for this movie & song!
😄
The whole entire soundtrack and movie was exceptional. I really appreciate Diana Ross talents. She's great!.💎💎💎💎💎💎💎👸👏
I read "LADY Sings the Blues" w/out knowledge this movie was coming out...
I can't watch it again it's too much for my emotions
Heroin and drugs have taken so many of our gifted musicians. This incredible performance by Diana Ross tries to show us the power addiction has, more powerful than achieving one's dreams....
You're right seeing so much of it when I was a child it trauma me
Diana Ross, acting and singing in this Billie Holiday performance, is unforgettable! Only me. When I listened to Billie Holiday sing this song, it sounds more of the blues. Love the modern version of Ms. Diana Ross. God Bless
Some voices....you just instantly recognize....
Especially great ones...like Diana Ross.
I feel my heart swelling everytime I listen .Best version ever.
I am not really a Diana Ross fan however, this song done by her was AWESOME. The movie and the album where both awesome. Billy Holiday would have been proud
Eh, I think billie's is better
Diana Ross should have recieved a grammy for her acting and singing in this movie.
Ms Ross deserves the Academy Award for best Actress.......They can still give it to her......A flawless performance............ Patrick.
Billy Dee Williams SO FINE!!
Lady "D" sophistication and classy vocals won us all over.....she should have won that Oscar!:-)
Diana sang this at Motown 60 show she sounded beautiful.
Her voice is not like any voice. Just angelic!
No "award" will suffice when it comes to my appreciation, admiration, and love for Miss Ross! Her singing And acting has touched various emotions in ways no other entertainer can. Her classic style will always fulfill my enjoyment for such arts in the entertainment world🌻🤲🏾...
A Masterpiece movie of Billie Holiday, Diana Ross was phenomenal. Billie Dee and Diana Ross have a wonderful love chemistry in movies
Yes sir. She should have one several Oscars for that movie.❤😂
Damn what a golden voice..indeed we are blessed to have you and thank God for the magnificent gift of you in our lifes..sweet Diana, thank you..and yes, you should have won an Oscar for this incredible performance!! Bravo!!🙏❤️👏
"You want my arm to fall off ?" ( Billy's line to Diana as he hands her the money) Love it 💔
I've used that same line on a number of girlfriends since 1972. The response was pretty good
@@melvinfulton7485 that's very funny !!
When this movie came out when I was younger I could hardly wait to buy this album she is an will always be my best female singer there is no one that will ever be such a singer again like her
Diana Ross was genius in this film. One of my favorite films of all time. ❤
for me this is her best work
Lela Whitehead you should see "Out of Darkness." She plays a woman with Schizophrenia and she was really underrated in it.
ur right I did see it great work
The music/songs from this film has stayed with me for decades. The album/film was so award worthy. She was perfection in this role....and her voice is like 'silk'! Exquisite! But I often wonder why we never see this movie available for viewing in all this time.
the sweetness & vocal tone. unmatched
I was only six years old when this movie came out. Along with Mahogany this is my second favorite movie with Billy Dee Williams and Diana Ross.
Ross should've won le Oscar for this performance.
Diana was simply amazing in playing Billie ( this is my fav song from the movie )....I love the fact that she never tried to imitate Billie's voice but sang in her own style.....I only wish the movie had been more accurate, especially concerning the man in Billie's life (he was not what he is portrayed on film).....Bravo Diana ~ 🌺 ❤️ 👍🏻
It's such a pleasure to listen to this beautiful singer. Thanks for posting this.
Hello Maureen
✨️✨️✨️✨️✨️💎>Am💫ń
Yes she should have won that Oscar
Her voice is so pure and golden taking me back it was a different world 🌎 .
Amen😔
Yes, her best solo work. 1972. If you are familiar with music, 1972 was a very good year all the way around.
Doug Zander 1972was good year all around I was 20 in love had my first and only child a daughter that year.The music was great times wre so simple then .
She was so good in that movie! Sometimes I get sad when I think of musicians I know that either are like walking dead, and those that are dead from drugs. Those gown were just elegant. Let me have that gown, that one when Billie Dee gave her that money. That's a gown to style in forever.
One of the best movies ever!!
A splendid performance 0 the acting and the singing. Michel Legrand's accompaniment is first class.
My Lord...Diana is the perfect Billie Holiday....in Singing and Acting!
Lawd, have mercy! That Billy Dee " Louis McKay" performance!! Unforgettable!!! 💘 👗 👡 😍 🎶 🌄
Hope there is never a remake, this one is the Boss! No pun intended.
Oscar!!!! for sure!!!
2024...STILL CRY AFTER I HEAR THIS SONG. RIP LORETTA PEREZ .

This song touched my heart the most when I first saw the movie.
Me, too! I was enthralled.

I was 14 when I saw this in the movies with my boyfriend and another couple. I made them(I don’t know how- they were older than me) watch the movie AGAIN so I could hear this song. That’s when I fell in love with Billie Holiday
Diana Ross was spectacular in this Movie portraying the late Billy Holiday, as well as Richard Pryor and Billy and Williams.
Love her voice. I wish she was still out here singing to teach these young whippersnappers how it is done
I play this song all the time, just love it.
Listening to it now December 29, 2023
Still melt into tears watching this - she was robbed.
Even as I fifteen year-old white boy I knew this & my view has NEVER changed…
Surely it’s possible in today’s world to right this wrong???
She makes them come alive like Diana always does
⭐️DIANA ROSS⭐️definitely the front runner to WIN BEST ACTRESS OSCAR and should have ( altho there was great competition) But in her First movie role she portrayed Billie Holiday so excellent .
Great movie and soundtrack ( which should have WON a Grammy Award ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
