    The remaster on this was done so beautifully that, similar to the “A Go Go,” remaster, it made me fall in love with an album I thought was only ho-hum the first time around. As for the “Funny Girl,” especially considering how young Ross was at the time, her interpretations were very well done and hold up extremely well. Discovering these albums again was truly a revelation.

    Wasn't Diana Ross 24 or so when she recorded the Funny Girl album? Barbra Streisand was 22 when she opened the show on Broadway.

    W o w! Diana Ross was only 24! This album has a Broadway charm due to Gil Askey's musical expertise. Ms. Ross' voice is stellar in this
    recording.

    I have to agree. Diana's command of this material at such a young age and quick-turn learning, rehearsing and recording of it are extraordinary.
