Diana, of course, sounds wonderful, as does Mary, Cindy, and the orchestra. However, this is one of those projects that still boggles my mind as to why Motown [[Gordy) chose to take on such an endeavor.
It's all a matter of opinion. I got the Supremes LP because I am a fan and a completest, but I never listen to it. After seeing the Funny Girl movie, I listened to the soundtrack dozens of times. My favorite scores of Broadways shows are RAGTIME, WEST SIDE STORY, GYPSY, HELLO DOLLY [[and most of the other Jerry Herman Scores - especially LA CAGE) & FUNNY GIRL.
