Ross, Diana - God Bless The Child Lyrics






Them that's god shall get
Them that's not shall lose
So the bible says
And it still is news

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Yeah, the strong gets more
While the weak ones fade
Empty pockets don't
Ever make the grade

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

Money, you've got lots of friends
Crowdin' round the door
When it's gone and
Spendin' ends
They don't come no more

Rich realations give
A crust of bread and such
You can help yourself
But don't take too much

Momma may have
Poppa may have
But God bless the child
That's got his own
That's got his own

  12. J.... ....

    Hollywood and The Oscars weren't prepared for such an outstanding performance by a black woman in 1972 and cheated her out of that Academy Award.

  13. D.... B....

    She the real lady mahogany!!!

    D.... B....

  14. D.... B....

    Ms. Diana Ross: She is an icon and legend. She was not a great beauty, but she was a bad ass!! She married well twice and has had a dynamic life! A true diva,with 5 well adjusted children. Some do not like her "Hollywood' ways. I always overlooked the diva ways. When she was younger she was always so alive! Cheers to a long career/ Fuego

  16. P.... ....

    Best performance ever, Ms Dianna Ross 😘😘

  17. K.... A....

    The Academy should give awards for past losses. To those that should have won. Diana Ross should be the first recipient.

  18. V.... C....

  25. J.... J....

    Such soft and Feminine vibes in this voice and song !

  26. J.... M....

    Diana Ross SHOULD have won the Oscar for Best Actress for the film, Lady Sings the Blues.
    A Perfect Film! Diana Ross' performance was one of the best in the history of Cinema!

  27. M.... C....

    Classic

  28. J.... M....

    Wat can I say wen u got it u just got it... She is her OWN original

  29. C.... F....

    As soon as I saw Ross's name, on a cover of Billies, I knew she'd kill it.

  30. C.... P....

    2018 💋

  31. J.... Z....

    The real truth about having great fame, wealth and good fortune, you soon begin to finally realized that you get very bored because you have everything you need. I found out that the more you have, the more you want which is not good. You develop a addiction to something or someone before you realized it's destroying your life and by that time you don't care about yourself or no one. People who died from addiction or drugs, may in fact see what the real world is all about when you don't have everything that you need until they themselves realizes why they became addicted to something. But some folks like to hide their secrets about their addiction. "I have come to full understanding about what it means to gain the whole world and lose your own soul, it's all emptiness." Perhaps it's you also.💎👸👑😈🔥💯

  32. N.... L....

    Is this video taken from Lady Sings The Blues?

    N.... L....

    Nathaniel Lollis yes

    N.... L....

    Yes a montage scenes from the movie

  33. S.... ....

    Diana is a great talent, but I'm less than thrilled with this number.

  34. p.... r....

    LOVE THIS PICTURE! IT DID DESERVE THE ACADEMY AWARD!!!!

  35. C.... B....

    Beautiful song for a beautiful lady

  36. B.... Y....

    thx to Diana Ross' interpretation of Billie Holiday I LEARNED an entire songbook. I much prefer her voice to Holiday's (per era) #TheWiz

  37. J.... L....

    One of the damn best ever!!

  38. e.... m....

    Love Diana and this is a great movie.

  39. T.... ....

    Sorry, but this movie is an embarrassment to Billie Holiday's life and legacy. I love Diana and her portrayal of whatever fictitious character this is is great, but it is NOT Billie Holiday. It's such a shame how Motown exploited Holiday's legacy and life to throw together this whitewashed, overly romanticized fantasy of the great Lady Day.

    T.... ....

    Shut yo mofo ass UP

    T.... ....

    Sounds like you knew Ms. Holiday yourself.

    T.... ....

    To me and my family Diana Ross is the greatest actress in the world no one can play Billie Holiday like she did she's the greatest and the whole world know it

  40. R.... B....

    Fell good music

  41. R.... R....

    Dianna Ross should have gotten an Academy Award for her performance in this movie. It is decades later since the movie first came out and her performance still stands up and rings true. SHE IS AWESOME in this movie.

    R.... R....

    I agree..i still get in my feelings when i watch this movie..

    R.... R....

    I concur! The academy gave the Oscar to Liza Minnelli for that terrible movie Cabaret!
    This film and the songs are classic, talk about getting cheated.😔

    R.... R....

    Zelda Williams cheated and mistreated! The academy Awards are rigged! Fake news I love WikiLeaks can't get enough of it. The fat man has spoken LOL

    R.... R....

    @Zelda Williams Hollywood insiders voting for their favorites, no doubt Liza's link to her famous showbiz mother and father had some effect on votes going in her favor, and plus this was 1972, post Civil Rights Acts of 1964 & 1968, America was still racist as hell. Diana Ross was robbed of that Oscar.

    R.... R....

    I said the same thing.

  42. G.... W....

    how she did not win the academy award for this film is beyond me

    G.... W....

    Everyone who saw Liza's performance, remembers it and treasures the impact of it, especially those who experienced it in its time.

    G.... W....

    Liza sucks

    G.... W....

    Hated Liza, hated the movie. Love lady Sings The Blues, Diana deserved the award. We all know why she didn't get it. I am a white woman btw.

    G.... W....

    And I experienced it in its time. i experienced both in their time. No contest. Liza Minelli was abad copy of her mother. Diana Ross, one of a kind and she honored Billie Holiday (who i grew up on through my father) while making it her own. Come on. We all know why DR didn't win. One reason and one reason only. Deal with it. thats America, then and now.

    G.... W....

    brownin329 ~ THANK YOU!!!

  43. C.... C....

    Yea she is that "gifted" because she was always listening

  44. J.... S....

    Beautiful and talented .

  45. B.... O....

    I honestly think she's one of the most beautiful people 😍. I'm only 12.

    B.... O....

    Only 12? What dat means?

    B.... O....

    In Development That Means they are 12 and can see a beautiful woman..and what does "dat" mean? Its THAT not DAT no such word.

  46. J.... D....

    Diana's singing in this movie was epic!!!! And these lyrics are very wise. Beautifully done by Diana Ross, à fave of mine from a kid♡♡♡♡♡

  47. J.... B....

    What a fantastic singer

  48. c.... ....

    Diana Ross can sing everything except opera. I mean sing it WELL and kept to the authenticity of the music. There is no other R&B or POP singer that can say that.

    c.... ....

    Personally, I'm glad a vocal genius like Ross's wasn't wasted on flipping opera ;)

    c.... ....

    Money you got lots of friends.. facts

    c.... ....

    But after you're broke, they're gone. Facts

    c.... ....

    classanddignity Whitney Houston could do all that AND opera so 💁🏾‍♂️

  49. M.... J....

    I hope they don't remake this one! I don't think anyone could portray Billie Holiday as Diana Ross did! Love the movie and the music! My current mood!

    M.... J....

    Marie Jones Audra McDonald can any day of the week

    M.... J....

    Marie Jones if they do make it over it's going to be a big flop. I can see it now Rihanna in lady sings the blues NOT IN MY NIEBORHOOD. BECAUSE NO TIME IS THE RIGHT TIME TO DO A REMAKE OF LSTB. THAT'S RIGHT BECAUSE YOU AIN'T NOTHING AND YOUR NEVER GONNA BE NOTHING BECAUSE U DON'T GO MESSIN AROUND WITH BIG BEN! THAT'S RIGHT HEY GET BACK IN THERE. OOPS ALMOST GOT CAUGHT BY THE POELICE IN MY LONG JOHNS LOL!

    M.... J....

    Agreed!

    M.... J....

    Andra Day will make a decent attempt at doing a good job. My opinion.

  50. A.... L....

    Do we understand the song and thank you. Peace

    A.... L....

    It depends on what you understand.

    A.... L....

    Even then, we ignorant.

  51. A.... L....

    Thank you, do we understand the song, Peace

    A.... L....

    Anita Loyd yes, I do.. ☮️.

    That's got his own!

  52. a.... w....

    they just don't make music like this anymore it sounds is good today as they did when I was a kid

  53. V.... S....

    Perfect voice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    V.... S....

    It couldn't possibly be any better !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  54. D.... R....

    Not bad.

    D.... R....

    Is that the best you can do??

  55. M.... C....

    Brilliant Performance and Wonderful Tribute to Billie Holiday. I have the original movie soundtrack on vinyl, and have sung "God Bless the Child" many times in concerts. Love Diana Ross #FanforLife.

    M.... C....

    Minnie Carter you go girl!

    M.... C....

    Your name sound familiar, where were your concerts?? I may have been to one !!! JAZZ & BLUES LOVE 4LIFE!!! #RESPECT

    M.... C....

    Diana: She performed many of the songs much better than Billie Holliday. Diana Ross is a movie star ( when she was younger). Billie was a talented night club singer. Diana made movies ( for millions) and has entertained crowds. She is old Hollywood and this is why she sizzled in " Lady Sings the Blues". The lady is dope and many vuewd her as a role model. Oprah, a young MJ and Stephanie Mills to name a few! Cheers to a Legend/ Miss Diana Ross

  56. S.... P....

    MY brother purchased this soundtrack album for my birthday and I've LOVED it tremendously. I was WAY too YOUNG to have seen the film at the time but I've collected everything you can imagine about this film AND the Legendary DIANA ROSS!

    S.... P....

    SEA PEACE my goodness sounds similar to my experience with the movie & soundtrack. I begged my mother for the album I was so young & captive by Billy Dee Williams & Diana Ross. I have so many wonderful, memories, attached, to this period in my young-life. ☺

  57. P.... C....

    Billie Holiday forever!

    P.... C....

    Love this tune here

  58. f.... r....

    The Great, the one and only, Ms DIANA ROSS !

  59. J.... D....

    Diana, don't fuck with the original.

  60. B.... ....

    Listen to that voice. OMG!  Brilliant singing. Much more talented than Billie Holiday could ever have hoped to be

    B.... ....

    Have you lost your mind? Diana Ross is fly but she can't hold Miss Holiday's shoes!

    B.... ....

    @brownin329 preach, couldn't carry her purse !!! nothing but LOVE for "LADY DAY" #THEBLUES

  61. D.... A....

    Beautiful soundtrack. Miss Ross is amazing in this film. Seen it quite many times too.

  62. M.... N....

    Amazing!!
