| | Ross exhibited a bubbly stage presence that played more to the cameras capturing the show than the audio feed, and she sang the songs with warmth and enthusiasm, if without any real resemblance to Holiday or jazz sensibility. | | | Ross was reluctant to go all-disco for an album but was persuaded to record | | | Clearly the platinum success of the album was due in part to her previous string of hits, but overall the album is a bit too glossy and Diana should have shared production duties with an experienced producer for her first effort. |

| | The Boss (May 1979) was a gold-selling album, followed by the platinum-selling Diana (May 1980) (the second of her solo albums with that name, though the other, a 1971 TV soundtrack, had an exclamation mark). | | | This was followed by a duet album with Marvin Gaye, Diana & Marvin (October 1973), that produced three chart hits. | | | By 1989, she had returned to Motown, and by 1993 was turning more to pop standards, notably on the concert album Diana Ross Live: The Lady Sings...Jazz & Blues, Stolen Moments (April 1993). |

| | Diana Ross & The Supremes - Classic Motown |
| | Diana Ross and the Supremes' hits turned out to be both timely and timeless: the rhythm and drama of "You Keep Me Hangin' On" predicted disco's hyperactivity, while "Reflections" and "Love Child" responded to shifting musical and social trends, but maintained the emotional immediacy of the first Supremes hits. | | | It also made Diana Ross and the Supremes' body of work an absolute amazement of riches: it's hard, without the charts in front of you, to recall which were No. 1's and which weren't, since they all sound like No 1's in retrospect. | | | The sound was so refreshing, the look so flawless, and the vibe so compelling that Diana Ross and the Supremes became no less than a defining reference point for America, for admiring musicians and fans worldwide, and for successive generations of female pop artists. |

| | Diana Ross and The Supremes gave their final performance together on January 14, 1970 at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas; a live recording of the performance was released later that year in a double-LP box set entitled Farewell. | | | Also, unlike many of her contemporaries, Diana Ross sung in a thin, calm voice, and her vocal styling was matched by having the girls embellish their own femininity instead of imitating the qualities of male groups. | | | After the Frontier Hotel performance, Ross went on to record her debut solo album, Diana Ross, and Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong continued working with Jean Terrell on the first post-Ross Supremes album, Right On. |

| | Maybe the reason Ross sounded so uninterested and uninspired on her last pop album was that she wanted to get back to jazz standards. | | | Ross is in fine voice throughout, although she does overreach on "Stranger In Paradise" (not the standard she'd sung on I Hear A Symphony). | | | The musicians and Ross are at their usual high standard, but the tunes are familiar covers ("What The World Needs Now Is Love") and unsatisfying originals. |

| | Both Ross' performance in the film and the accompanying soundtrack release were extremely well-received -- the former earning her an Oscar nomination and the latter becoming her only full-length album to reach the #1 position. | | | After one last #1 single for the label in 1981 (the title track to the film Endless Love, recorded as a duet with Lionel Richie) Ross temporarily ended her long-standing association with Motown, spending the bulk of the 1980's recording for RCA. | | | In November of 1969 Ross publically announced her plans to leave The Supremes and embark upon a solo career, her eponymous first album subsequently materializing early in 1970. |
