Battle of the Divas: Diana Ross vs. Mother Nature

While its timing is about as bad as the rain that struck that day -- DVD sales are at an all-time low, this should have come out 10-15 years ago! -- still tickled to see that The Boss' legendary 1983 concert in Central Park is finally being released DVD. Says Miss Ross: "Now, almost 30 years later, I can still say Central Park was one of the peak experiences of my career, an historical event -- rain and shine." Order yours HERE.

Details: On July 21, 1983, Diana Ross -- already a legendary superstar for more than two decades -- arrived in all her radiant glory on the makeshift Central Park stage and began singing her heart out. From her first number, Diana had the audience’s love. She wanted to give them her all and she was well on her way, but nature had something else in mind. What started as a hair-whipping wind and bothersome drizzle soon became a threatening torrential downpour. Diana -- soaked through and through but never leaving the open-air stage -- braved the rain as long as she could, but ultimately put an end to the show at the halfway mark. Not one to disappoint, Diana promised to return the next day. And she did! Over the two-day event it was estimated that over a million fans attended the two concerts. Now, with the release of "Diana Ross: Live In Central Park" by Shout! Factory, the entire spectacular concert, and the rain-shortened concert that preceded it, will be made available for the first time on DVD.
