I have always believed that Diana Ross is one of the greatest live performers in show business history. She clearly loves to sing, loves to entertain, connects with her audiences and wants them to have an unforgettable experience each time she appears. She has worked hard for all the 50+ years of her career and she comes prepared to give her audiences full value for the price of their ticket and more. She insists on the best production values -- sound, lighting, costumes, musicians, etc. -- and she readily acknowledges those who work with her. There are so many examples on You Tube of great live performances by Ms. Ross -- this is another. "The Best Years of My Life" has certainly become an anthem for her to thank her fans for their support and loyalty, but, it is not an easy song to sing. Yet, in this clip, her performance of the song matches the quality of the performance she recorded in a studio environment. Meanwhile, she is flirting, interacting, teasing, and obviously casting a spell over some of the greatest athletes in football history, and she makes it all look very easy. For those 50+ years of thrilling audiences around the world and becoming a legend, her performances have always been touched with more than talent, hard work, good material and good productions. There has also been some indefinable kind of magic at play -- it is true of all the greatest stars -- that lifts them into the highest ranks of the entertainment world, and that magic is on full display in this video clip. The performance is wonderful, and she charmed the ntire audience, not just those smiling NFL greats. She is just the best!
She was always on the top of my list when it came to Class. As a matter of fact when my daughter(who was 4 years old at the time) would see her perform on television my daughter would say "that's my pretty mama" my daughter is now 34 years old and is still a big fan today as she was back then.
Have you ever seen any Female Entertainer Shine sooooo bright! She is mega-wattage all by herself. I love you Diana for the best years of my life. You set the bar, and I'm climbing it!
SOOOOO many nights this song has lifted us ALL! Thanks Diana for the gift that will last a lifetime! There will NEVER ever be an ARTIST like Diana Ross!
Back in the day when people were true and pure,she was so playful and loving,look at her nails,they are not talons and look at her face,it's not over made up,yet she is so classy and sophisticated, poised and regal. .Those days are gone.
Wow. It is great to see all those "big" men melt into pools of desire. Diana is quite the femme fatale, and one of the world's greatest glamour queens. That is quite a feat for a skinny girl for the Brewster Projects.
I just love watching this video. It is so wonderful how she toys with these athletes, and maintain her composure. She is indeed in command of her art. Beautiful done Miss Ross...
Wow this woman 😁her songs make me wanna change things in and this song oh my everytime I play it I was just my husband how I appreciate him and the beautiful years that he gives me ❤wo love is great ♥️💋😘
She never did come back to London. Don't blame her. The way she got treated the last time she came here. But hoping and praying she changes her mind. And come to the 02 one day. I would definitely buy my ticket. if she does come over to London. love you Diana
House Rules! With what was going on this past winter where people were throwing things at singers, these Venues had to clamp down on that, before someone got hurt. So here's an example of what an audience is supposed to do and be, orderly and having fun. We all know that Diana Ross always likes her audiences UpFront and having Fun! But we have to blame those that ruined it for everyone else.
