As for live performances, when Diana Ross is in a jazzy Ella Fitzgerald groove, I am in heaven. I rank Diana Ross' "Our Love is Here to Stay" as an equal to Ella's.
Gil Askey conducting the band in Copenhagen is so pleased with Diana Ross' singing that he is happy and dancing in circles!
Always wondered if Diana studied Ella and Sarah as much as Billie.
