I remember this when I was a child. Life was different then and prejudice was in the open. Diana was not only talented but could recognize great talent in others. Rumors were spread around that she was part black because of things like this duet. Both of these women were lovely people in a ugly time. I’m so glad this video exists. Both of course were stars in their time on pure talent.
Such sad times , but Dinah Shore got some bad comments and real grief when she hugged Mahalia at the end of one of their duets. Dinah adored Mahalia and helped her to get her own tv series. She continued to present her on her show and show her affection for this great singer.
