Diana Ross's last great television special, an interesting mix of music, fiction and documentary that bridged her early, acting-focused specials and her later taped-concert programs.Diana Ross's last great television special, an interesting mix of music, fiction and documentary that bridged her early, acting-focused specials and her later taped-concert programs.Diana Ross's last great television special, an interesting mix of music, fiction and documentary that bridged her early, acting-focused specials and her later taped-concert programs.

A lost gem

When Diana Ross released her album Red Hot Rhythm and blues in 1987, she followed up the release, with this TV movie. A tribute to the fantastic legacy, she is a part of. This interesting and entertaining film shows Ross' ability to act and perform. The songs are mostly part of the music history. This film could be seen as a direct link to Diana Ross' big movie Lady Sings The Blues. If you love soul-music, and are interested in the history of soul, this is the one for you. It's so elegant made, and Ross has never looked better or more stunning than in this film. A real star. Sadly, neither the album or the TV-film, helped Ross back into the charts. Unfair, but this hidden gem shows off what the mainstream missed out of.
