Lady Sings the Blues and Mahogany coming to DVD on November 8th.
It's about freakin' time.

I'm not a huge Diana fan, but I do love these films.

DESCRIPTION

When a successful fashion photographer discovers a fresh new face, he quickly turns her into the hottest commodity in the industry. Overwhelmed by her rapid rise to the top, the young woman finds that money and fame aren't always the keys to personal happiness. But her love affair with a dashing political aspirant points to a way out of the superficial merry-go-round.
A young black woman rises to fame and fortune as a fashion model, only to later discover that life is meaningless without the man she loves. Academy Award Nominations: Best Song ("Theme from Mahogany - Do You Know Where You're Going To?")

Tony Richardson directed the project until being relieved of his duties by Berry Gordy, who finished the film himself and signed his name to it.

oooooh! Thanks for the heads-up!!! I'll definitely be adding that to my birthday wish list! I've been wanting to show those movies to friends of mine FOREVER....

I love these two movies and have a copy of them on VHS that I am satisfied with. Thanks for the info though. I wish Diana would release a collection of her music videos as a solo artist and some of the old performances with The Supremes.

I know, right? I can't wait for that one. Diana looks so much like my mom in that movie it's scary.

Thank you Lord, for making Lady Sings The Blues available on DVD in November. I have that movie on VHS and the sad part is since the movie is so long (over 2 1/2 hours), the movie stretches out on two whole VHS tapes. I'm tired of switching and rewinding them. I hope there are great extras like a Making Of-documentary or trailers or even bonus scenes.

Thanks for the info. I've been waiting for both movies to be released on DVD for years.

Cool! 'Lady Sings The Blues' is a fantastic film and I can't wait to buy the DVD.'Mohagany' is Diana Ross' 'Cherry Moon'...it's incredibly chessy and silly,but it has a certain charm to it


I assume that 'The Wiz' is already on DVD?

DavidEye said:

What did she have a cameo in the Ashley Judd, Tommy Lee Jones hit?


That masterpeiece of crap was "Double Platinum" fool, and you can probably buy the DVD for like 12 cents!

'Fool'? Pardon me?

Yes, you are right - it is Double Platinum. Shows how much I watch it, then!

(And, er, I already have it on video. I won't be wasting any shelf space with the dvd. ).
