Recorded in 1972 but not properly released until 2006, Diana Ross's BLUE was originally conceived as an addendum to the former Supreme's starring role as Billie Holiday in the film LADY SINGS THE BLUES. While the soundtrack to the film found Ross delivering pop-centric versions of Holiday's songs, BLUE offers a jazzier take on the material, providing a more appropriate tribute to Holiday's legacy.

Jazz purists may still bristle at the notion of anyone filling Lady Day's shoes, but taken on her own merits Ross delivers some fine performances. The soul singer sounds confident and at ease on Holiday chestnuts like "What a Diff'rence a Day Makes" and "He's Funny That Way," and her vocals are bolstered by some fine backing musicians and top-notch arrangements by the likes of Oliver Nelson and Benny Golson. Reputedly shelved by Motown founder Berry Gordy for commercial reasons, BLUE's appearance some 37 years later should please fans of both Ross and Motown.JazzTimes (p.117) - "Ross sings quite pleasantly over a smooth rhythm section and occasionally a big band, supported by lush strings and even French horns."

4 stars the creams rises to the top
Diana,s treatment to this classics have all her golden touch. One can not expect to reach the young teens today, espeaically, where todays musical taste are concerned.Today's songs are not about love, but rather the dark side of unhealthy love matches.Nevertheless, Diana, singing is pleasing to the ear,and as always if your looking for bumpimg and gringing music. That years from now people will say what where they thinking of. Thanks, for good taste, Diana

5 stars Some of the best of her career!
HARD TO BELIEVE THAT MOTOWN KEPT THIS JEWEL OF AN ALBUM LOCKED AWAY SINCE 1972. THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING ALBUM OF DIANA ROSS' CAREER! SHE HAS RARELY SOUNDED BETTER AND HER RENDITION OF THE BILLIE HOLIDAY SONGS AND OTHERS IS CHILLING IN ITS' PURITY.A MUST FOR ANY ROSS FAN AND FOR ANY LOVER OF GREAT JAZZ MUSIC.
