Diana Ross & the Supremes Sing and Perform "Funny Girl" Diana Ross & the Supremes Sing and Perform "Funny Girl" Diana Ross & the Supremes Sing and Perform "Funny Girl" is the thirteenth studio album released by Diana Ross & the Supremes on the Motown label, released in 1968. Berry Gordy had Diana Ross & the Supremes cover the songs from Barbra Streisand's Broadway musical "Funny Girl" original cast LP to tie-in with the September release of the feature-film version of the musical, also starring Streisand. The LP was not a success, and, with a "Billboard" 200 peak of 150, ranks as the lowest-charting of the Diana Ross-led Supremes albums.
