The R&B, pop and disco legend played Radio City Music Hall Thursday night
, before the untimely storm forced Ross to stop the production and resume the gig the following day. Her most famous New York moment was also her most infamous, viewed as a financial catastrophe at the time, losing the city more than $2 million between the two events.
Ross’s new “Music Legacy Tour,” which kicked off earlier this month and visited Atlantic City last week, serves several purposes for the R&B, pop and dance luminary: Of course, it’s a victory lap of her greatest hits, and reminder of her influence on the mainstream songbook of the last 50 years. From the Supremes to her solo career, Ms. Ross beamed so Madonna, Janet Jackson and Beyonce could erupt, not to mention the long list of stars who’ve sampled her songs: From Notorious B.I.G.
There was a good deal of improvisation to this show as well, with Ross calling new songs on the fly — she subbed in the resolute newbie “I Still Believe” and the band went with it. Earlier, as the band cued up for “Love Hangover,” she stopped them, saying her setlist had “Endless Love” as the next song and they would indeed play “Endless Love.” Once a diva…
Speaking about her latest album, recorded during the pandemic, Ross noted: “The album is dedicated to each and every one of you, it’s about gratitude … I realized , I needed very little to be happy; I needed to be with you, and to be in good health.”
