Lady Sings The Blues by Diana Ross, Blinky Williams, Michel Legrand - DeepRiffs

ALBUM

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.
