As one of the greatest and most successful artists of all time, Diana Ross has delivered many memorable moments over the course of her illustrious career. However, few can rival the colossal spectacle that was her iconic concert at Central Park in 1983.
A seismic celebration of a talent and a hit catalog like no other, the performance served as an emphatic exclamation mark of the legend Ross already was at the time.
800,000 (yes, eight hundred thousand) revelers packed into Central Park and braved turbulent weather to watch The Boss blaze the stage like only she can.
Rocking the house with a set that fused solo smashes and hits from The Supremes’ reign, the diva dazzled from the onset with a stunning showing of ‘I’m Coming Out.’
And while the performance was cut short by a storm, nothing could quell the hurricane that was The Boss.
Here’s toasting the 40th anniversary of a legendary showing from one of the most legendary talents to ever grace the stage.
