i can't stop talking about diana ross, to people-anyone who is standing still near me for any amount of time. i love the way she moves. like a cat that has swallowed a bird whole and has it moving around in it's belly, if you get that. and moves! she has got em. and her music, solo or with the supremes...supremes tunes actually remind me of my childhood, partly because of sister act, and also because my dad's ex girlfriend marlene always had the oldies station on.
watch these videos from her 1983 concert in central park. epic.
here is what andy warhol said in his diaries about it:
"I could never really describe the Diana Ross concert in Central Park. The sky darkened and the rain came and it was the most incredible thing i've ever seen. Just the event of the century-her hair blowing and soaking wet...it was like a dream, like a hallucination, watching this spectacle. It was like the greatest scene from a movie ever. When they do her life story in the movies you can just see this huge event and then later she's crying and saying, "Why did this happen to me?" and then drinking and slitting her wrists. But oh, the thunder and lightning looked so great. So beautiful."
-Andy Warhol.
