For
more than 30 years, rumours have circulated of a never-issued Diana Ross
album of jazz standards recorded around the time of her triumphant star
turn in Lady Sings The Blues. Recently, these archival recordings were
discovered in the Motown vault. The resulting album, 'Blue' (Motown/UME),
marks the long-overdue debut of what David Ritz, esteemed author and writer
of the album's liner notes, calls "some of the most emotionally satisfying
music Ross has ever made."
