Diana Ross Sings Songs from The Wiz is an album by Diana Ross, released by Motown Records/Universal on November 27, 2015.[3] The album features Ross' versions of songs from the film version of the musical The Wiz, in which she starred along with Michael Jackson.[4] The songs were originally recorded in 1978, produced by Ross, Suzanne de Passe and Grammy Award winner Lee Holdridge.[2] Motown originally planned to release the album in 1979 (a year after the film's original soundtrack)[4] but it was cancelled following low box office returns and highly negative critical response to the film.[1]
Ross recorded new versions of "Be a Lion" and "Home" for the album, together with a previously unreleased song, "Wonder, Wonder Why".[5]Home had been released as part of a 2001 Motown compilation album,[5] while a different version of "Ease on Down the Road" had been released in 1978 as a duet with Michael Jackson.[1] All other tracks remained unreleased until 2015.[5] The reissue was remastered and produced by Andrew Skurow, George Solomon, and Harry Weinger.[2]
