Diana Ross Lady Sings The Blues

After being leader of the #1 Female Group of All Time (to date a half century) and #1 American Vocal Group of the 60s, "Diana Ross & The Supremes", Diana completely flipped the script embracing the jazz of Billie Holiday, this soundtrack mesmerizes. Along with reviving interest in Holiday, Diana makes these classics her own.

Avec sa carrière d’artiste solo, Diana Ross s’inscrit parmi les chanteuses les plus couronnées de succès de l’ère du rock. Si l’on considère sa participation dans les années 60 en tant que chanteuse principale dans le groupe the Supremes, peut-être est-elle même la chanteuse qui a connu le plus grand succès. Elle lance sa carrière solo en 1969 et se tourne vers le cinéma en 1972, figurant dans une biographie filmée de Billie Holiday, Lady Sings the Blues. La bande-son est nº 1 des classements et elle se voit décerner un Academy Award. Elle enregistre le plus gros tube de sa carrière en 1981, un duo avec Lionel Richie intitulé "Endless Love."

Of all the known treasures resting in the Motown vaults, one of the most tantalizing had always been Diana Ross Sings Songs From The Wiz. Not a lot was known about the project, aside from the fact that Ross recorded it soon after she’d filmed her role as Dorothy for the 1978 movie musical The Wiz. Of course, the reason for recording the album was obvious; MCA Records released the film’s actual soundtrack, and Motown wanted to be ready with its own project to capitalize off of the anticipated success. After all, Diana Ross was still a Motown artist, and her previous two films (Lady Sings The Blues and Mahogany) had led to a #1 album and a #1 single, respectively; surely this — a full-fledged musical — would do the same. But when The Wiz finally opened in October 1978, it performed far below expectations, despite boasting a big budget and an all-star cast. Thus, the planned Motown Wiz LP was put on the shelf, and Miss Ross moved forward with another album (1979’s The Boss, restoring her to popular favor).

"Touch Me In The Morning" is the 4th studio album by American singer Diana Ross, released on June 22, 1973, by Motown Records. It reached #5 in the USA (#1 R&B) and sold around 650,000 copies. The arrangements were by Gene Page, Tom Baird, Michael Randall, James Anthony Carmichael, Deke Richards, Gil Askey and Ross. The album contained the hit title track, which became Diana Ross' second #1 single on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and helped the album peak at #5 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart. In the UK the title track and "All of My Life" were both Top Ten singles, and the album reached #7 and was certified Gold for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.

This fourth solo release from Diana Ross became her biggest post-Supremes album to that point and remains among her three most successful records, peaking at number five in the US and number seven in the UK. Sales of the album were propelled by the title track, Ross's second American number one single.

Diana & Marvin is a duets album by American soul musicians Diana Ross and Marvin Gaye, released October 26, 1973 on Motown. Recording sessions for the album took place between 1971 and 1973 at Motown Recording Studios in Hollywood, California. Gaye and Ross were widely recognized at the time as two of the top pop music performers.

"Blue", originally titled "The Blue Album", is a studio album by American singer Diana Ross. Initially recorded between late 1971 and early 1972, it was released as Ross' 23rd studio album by Motown Records on June 20, 2006. Overseen by Ross' musical director Gil Askey, the jazz-flavoured album was originally conceived as a follow-up to her soundtrack to the 1972 American biographical drama film "Lady Sings the Blues" in which Ross starred. Berry Gordy and Motown subsequently decided to shelve the album, and Ross' next release was the more pop-orientated "Touch Me in the Morning" (1973) album. On the charts, "Blue" peaked at #2 on the US Billboard Top Jazz Albums, also logging a single week on the Billboard 200 at #146. Its final sales figure was slightly higher than 100,000 US copies.

An Evening with Diana Ross is a 1977 live double album released by American singer Diana Ross on the Motown label.

The album reached #29 in the USA (#14 R&B).
