Keeping us hangin’ on: Diana Ross tells fans ‘I’ll never retire’ ahead of 81st birthday

still “The Boss” at 80 — and, over six decades into her legendary career, she’s working on keeping up that title.“I’ll never retire,” Ross, who will turn 81 on March 26, told an audience of adoring fans at the second of two sold-out shows at Brooklyn’s Kings Theatre on Saturday. In a year that has seen the deaths of such other music legends as Roberta Flack, Marianne Faithfull and Sam Moore of Sam & Dave, it was a welcome reminder that we still have other eternal pop icons among us.Indeed, Ross’ shows at Kings Theatre, celebrating the 10th anniversary of the venue, came as other octogenarian all-timers are still making moves — from 82-year-old Paul McCartney’s string of club shows at NYC’s Bowery Ballroom to Paul Simon, 83, announcing that he was un-retiring from the road for his “A Quiet Celebration” tour starting April 4 to Mick Jagger, 81, rocking the Oscars with a surprise appearance to present the Best Original Song award on Sunday.If anything, Ross’ two-night stand was a reminder that we should appreciate this eternal goddess while she is still here, blessing us with her presence.While other divas of her generation have passed on — from Aretha Franklin and Tina Turner to, most recently, Flack — Ross is still flexing her “Muscles.”When she opened to “I’m Coming Out” — her 1980 anthem that continues to symbolize liberation and empowerment for both the LGBTQ community and anyone else who needs a feather-boa-lifting boost — Ross was a true living legend in red ruffles.

How Roberta Flack made ‘Killing Me Softly’ her own — and changed original singer Lori Lieberman’s life: ‘I have endless gratitude’

Roberta Flack so completely owned “Killing Me Softly with His Song” — her signature tune that topped the charts in 1973 — it’s hard to believe that it wasn’t actually her song originally.In fact, the classic — which won Flack her second consecutive Record of the Year Grammy in 1974, after “The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face” triumphed in 1973 — was a cover of Lori Lieberman’s original version that appeared on her 1972 self-titled debut album.“It was a guitar-based folk song,” Lieberman, 73, told The Post. “My version was a small folk song.”But Flack — who died at 88 on Monday after years of health challenges, including ALS — transformed “Killing Me Softly with His Song” into something much bigger, a tune for the ages.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic “Save the Children,” an early ’70s concert film featuring many of that era’s biggest names in Black music, was in need of some saving itself. Although the documentary featured iconic stars like the Jackson 5, Marvin Gaye, Curtis Mayfield and Bill Withers, the movie disappeared completely off the radar after being briefly released to theaters in 1973 by Paramount Pictures, never getting an authorized home-video release, let alone revival screenings.
