About The Record:

Diana! Original TV Soundtrack,, is the first solo television special of American singer Diana Ross and aired on ABC on April 18, 1971. The special was choreographed by David Winters of West Side Story fame, who at that time choreographed all of Ross' stage and television shows. The special featured performances by The Jackson 5, and also included Jackson 5 lead singer Michael Jackson's solo debut. Michael Jackson performed Frank Sinatra's It Was a Very Good Year, which drew laughter as its adult-themed lyrics were changed to fit his age. Other guests included Danny Thomas and Bill Cosby. The television special, and its subsequent soundtrack, was a Nielsen ratings winner, hitting the top 20 (No. 17) of shows that week and garnering Emmy nominations for Ross and Bob Mackie and in technical categories.
