One more thing I recall about The Wiz soundtrack. In some liner notes or other press that was coming out at the time of the soundtrack's release, I recall Quincy saying that Diana was pretty much being put out of her comfort zone for the vocal range required for many of the musical numbers.
And something else about the movie itself...Most of the fans of the movie and Diana Ross are aware that she suffered some eye damage from looking at the light when meeting the Wiz. Some sources say it was temporary damage; others say she still has some issues because of it.
