Live at Caesars Palace is a live album by the American singer Diana Ross, released in 1974.[4] It was recorded during a 1973 performance at Las Vegas' Caesars Palace.[5] It was the first of two live albums Ross recorded for Motown. It reached No. 64 in the USA (#15 R&B).[6]

Critical reception

AllMusic wrote that "the staged conversations, often awkward monologues, and rough pacing were balanced by some excellent performances, and the album was produced well enough to keep her voice at the core of the sound."[1]

The Devastating Affair, consisting of Andrew Porter, Greg Wright, Harold Johnson, Karin Patterson, and Olivia Foster, were an American quintet of soul vocalists signed to MoWest that evolved into a Motown travelling opening and backing vocalist act for Diana Ross.

Heralded as the first in a "new generation of hugely promising soul acts" from the Los Angeles-headquartered Motown subsidiary label MoWest Records, Motown launched their MoWest imprint with their debut single "I Want To Be Humble", a crossover-soul record that has become a sought-after collector's item.[7] Both albums the group recorded (the first, Devastating Affair Mountain (1972) on MoWest, and then a second album, titled The Devastating Affair (1973) on Motown) were unfortunately shelved. [8] The group performed backing vocals on Ross & Marvin Gaye's hit single "You're a Special Part of Me" from the 1973 album Diana & Marvin, after the 3 male members of the group co-wrote the single and submitted the demo for inclusion, as well as Ross's 1970 album Everything Is Everything.

During their tenure as a group, three singles were released: "I Want To Be Humble/My Place" (1971 - MoWest), "That's How It Was (Right From The Start)" (1973 - MoWest), and "You Don't Know (How Hard It Is To Make It)" (1974 - Motown). [8][9]
