They just don't make great stars like that anymore. Now that's what makes a star legendary and timeless..... having the ability to be the whole package and being able to do it all with singing, dancing, acting, entertaining, etc. and to do it all well. Only a true performer can wear all of these hats. That's why Miss Ross looks so at home whenever she's on stage. Such a classic star!

The 1960s teen "crew" knew all of this. By the 1970s Miss Ross had started her family, loved her concerts where the inclusion of dancing, acting, and entertaining did not matter as much. So glad & thankful all this was caught on celluloid then transferred to digital for all of us who didn't experience it LIVE.

She has always said that she is a dancer at heart, and this proves it. She is amazing.

mike ritchie I saw Diana perform live many times and it has ALWAYS been unimagiably memorable!! One VERY memorable night I took my precious young son to see her at The Circle Star Theater in San Carlos Cali. That night her brother was there and coincidentally was sitting next to us. During the show, Diana proudly introduced her handsome brother (a resident of Berkeley at that time). He got on stage and danced with his sister sooooo happy!! It was a glorious site to see!!! DIANA WAS BEAMING!!! DIANA IS ALL ABOUT FAMILY!!! GLORIOUS WOMAN THAT SHE IS!!!much A precious memory in so many ways!!!!!

Impressive stuff. I never associate dancing with Diana Ross. A woman of many talents!

She was destined to be the megastar she has become. Of course, haters come with the territory. But clearly by 1968-69, the entertainment industry beckoned a bright new star, a diva for all times.

Bochanable Diana CERTAINLY lived up to THAT challenge and beyond!!!

Yes ma'am Diana Ross did that! I didn't expect that at all! She danced with style and grace here. Diana was destined to be a "Star." She was born with what I call the "It" factor! Not only is she a great singer, but this dance routine proves she's an amazingly talented dancer as well. I'm 51, and I learn something new everyday. You go girl!

I thought I had seen every Diana Ross performance, but not this one. This is one of her greatest performances and she didn't even sing! Bravo Diana. Almost a preview of the moves Michael Jackson would perform a few years later. Definitely something Diana should have pursued more often.

Y’all overstate Diana’s influence on Michael….Diana wasn’t a dancer dancer like Michael was. Michael’s performing & dancing came from Sammy Davis, James brown, Fred estaire & Jackie Wilson with his own charisma and twist to it. Diana influenced some of his vocal styling but that’s about it but performing & music wise I don’t see alot similar

Diana was a solo star ... Berry Gordy was right the whole time.

On another episode, she did a beautiful Astaire/Rogers dance number with Sammy Davis that was perfection. She led the Supremes to become the most successful US group ever, built one of the most successful careers ever, dusted with Lionel Richie on the most successful duet in history, make films & win a well-deserved Oscar nomination, co-host the Oscars 4 times, host the American Music Awards 3 times, host the Grammys, star in 5 TV specials, star in two successful TV movies, star in the Superbowl halftime show, star at the World Cup, host the ceremony to award the Nobel Peace Prize, tour with two of the top tenors in opera & more than hold her own & raise a beautiful, talented family who adore her. Diana Ross blazed new trails, broke down all kinds of barriers for Black singers & singers in general & has achieved truly remerkable things & still performs to sell-out shows at 76. She is a superstar, a legend & a performer whose work & name will live forever.

Diana should have won the Oscar in 1973 just as Minelli should have won for the Sterile Cuckoo in 1970 (which went to Maggie Smith).

When you got talent like this it's so wonder she left THE SUPREMES it was DIANA ROSS time to leave by then.

That is called a triple threat in Hollywood. Singer, actress and dancer Add beauty, charisma, fashion icon, hair icon and a sense of theatricality that preceded the Madonna and Lady Gaga’s of the world. Maybe there will never be another star like Diana. I Already have tickets to her summer show at the bowl. Amazing that she will perform at 77 years. Folks if she is coming to your town please go if you can. We never know how much longer we will have these legends.

Never knew that Diana had those dance moves! Dancing to live music. Can't be beat!

One of those great Emmy nominated performances! It was clear the world was calling for and expecting her to have a great solo career!

Never seen this before because wasn't on TV here in England at the time. Pity the Strictly Come Dancing show wasn't on back then - Diana would have been unbeatable!!!

That was dope even in 2021 bravo bravo 👏🏾👏🏾

THE PERFECTION AT ALL TIME !! Bravo !!

Never thought of Diana Ross as a dancer. But she did a good job.

Love this Diana is a slice of chocolate glamour...her jump suit is fierce and would kill to this day....glorious original diva...only one....HER

The amazing Ms Ross , the one and only

That is my all time favorite Jazz Song. 😍 Go you all!!!

Yes, she is the same girl... regards from Brazil.

Damn, she really pulled that off. Looks like a natural. So many reasons how/why she’s a superstar.

Love the 70s! Just beautiful. They were body conscious back then, with emphasis on the hips when dancing. They're wearing ensembles very similar to what Diana Ross was wearing, to the Oscars today! Fashion just repeats itself. I just absolutely love it!❤

Diana Ross was a class act, an exceptional singer and a nice dancer. Of course back then, things were much more classy than it is today

I remember seeing this on TV ! I was about 6 years old.

I have seen Diana live many times I love her so much. She is a phenominal entdrtainer!!! PHENOMINAL!!!!! No matter where I saw her, she pointed me out in the audience. 😁 Oh, except for once bcuz it was raining. Diana is remarkable in so many ways and on so many levels, SUCH BEAUTIFUL TALENT AND SOUL. And... how she could always acknowledge one of her greatest fan says EVERYTHING about HER. ME!!!! Yes I am, Yes I am!!! Diana is more than a well deserverved Internatioal Star, she is a beautiful gift from heaven!!! She Certainly makes the dreams of her loyal fans come true!!!! I know this from personal experience!!! She always acknowledged me in the audience. Can you even begin to imagine the thrill and honor!!! Once, in Lake Tahoe at Caesars she came down from the stage and came to my table, she had me stand and she put her arm around me tightly and sang. My friends at our table were blown away!!! I stood there next to her while she sang beautifully, with all that hair in my face, not believing that my long time idiol had her arm around me and singing a beautifuhl song!!! What a life I have led!!! Next I will tell you about about Ray Charles!! ........ then Willie Nelson.....

I freaked out when I saw this on The Hollywood Palace in 1969. This performance along with “Aquarius/Let the Sun Shine/Don’t ya Hear me Calling to You” on the 1969 Dinah Shore special and Diana dancing with Sammy Davis Jr. channeling Astaire and Rogers on the Hollywood Palace had me mesmerized. Who knew Diana could dance so elegantly yet powerfully? Diana was showing the world that she was more than ready to leave the Supremes. That stunning outfit she’s wearing here? I saw her live in 1970 doing her first solo show ever. She wore this outfit for several numbers. It’s even hotter in person!

Wow! That was great even after all these years. My first time seeing this and I am blown away. What a beautiful jumpsuit that is still in style.

I could watch that guy dance 🕺🏻 all day long

Diana Ross was the original Tripple Threath !!!

Diana getting ready to become a solo star..FABULOUS!!

The lady is a CHAMP. If you looked in the dictionary, " Talent " would be spelled - D.I.A.N.A. R.O.S.S.

It’s easy to 4get how Supremely (pun intended) talented Diana Ross was. 18 #1 hits on Billboard. 12 with the Supremes & 6 solo. Only Elvis, Mariah, & the Beatles have more.

Amazing, I didn't know she could dance!

When Stars were Stars!

Diana was a GREAT dancer thx Gio!
