Diana Ross Blue cd

Recorded in late 1971 and early 1972, the album that is now being released as Blue was originally envisioned as a companion to the No. 1 soundtrack LP to Lady Sings The Blues, a box office hit that earned a Best Actress Oscar(r) nomination for Ross. Blue was produced, arranged and conducted by Gil Askey, who did the same for the Lady Sings The Blues soundtrack and who had conducted Supremes shows in the past and would conduct Ross' solo shows in the future. Blue includes all twelve of the original tracks - all of which are previously unreleased, plus four bonus cuts from the recording sessions which took place in late 1971 and early 1972.
