Lady Sings the Blues
Los Angeles, CA : Motown, [1994?], 1́972.
Format: Music CD
Description: 1 audio disc : digital ; 4 3/4 in.
Her biggest album as a solo act, Diana Ross forever ended any association with the Supremes after this film. She not only got an Oscar nomination and more roles, she really did capture the spirit and flavor, if not the sound and timbre, of Billie Holiday's music; her performance was the film's only saving grace. ~ Ron Wynn
