An Evening with Diana Ross is a 1977 live double album released by American singer Diana Ross on the Motown label. Recorded live at the Ahmanson Theatre in Los Angeles during the international tour of Ross' celebrated one-woman show, for which she was awarded a special Tony Award after the show's run at Broadway's Palace Theater, followed by an Emmy-nominated TV special of the same name, the album showcased her live performances for the second time as a solo performer (1974's Live At Caesars Palace is the first). It was the last live album Ross released until 1989's Greatest Hits Live, released before she returned to Motown that year.
Note: "Someday We'll Be Together" is mentioned as a track on the album from Ross' Supremes hits medley; she doesn't actually sing the song. She speaks over the song's instrumentation and backing vocals while introducing singer and Motown labelmate, Smokey Robinson, an audience member that evening.

Famous quotes containing the words evening, diana and/or ross:
“Last evening attended Croghan Lodge International Order of Odd Fellows. Election of officers. Chosen Noble Grand. These social organizations have a number of good results. All who attend are educated in self-government. This in a marked way. They bind society together. The well-to-do and the poor should be brought together as much as possible. The separation into classes—castes—is our danger. It is the danger of all civilizations.”
—Rutherford Birchard Hayes (1822–1893)
“I don’t have any doubts that there will be a place for progressive white people in this country in the future. I think the paranoia common among white people is very unfounded. I have always organized my life so that I could focus on political work. That’s all I want to do, and that’s all that makes me happy.”
—Hettie V., South African white anti-apartheid activist and feminist. As quoted in Lives of Courage, ch. 21, by Diana E. H. Russell (1989)
