Lady Sings the Blues is the successful soundtrack to the Billie Holiday biopic of the same name, which starred Diana Ross in her screen debut in 1972. The album went on to be Ross' 4th #1 album (eventually selling over 2,000,000 US copies), though the only one as a solo artist, on the U.S. Top 200 Billboard Albums Chart as a solo act, going to #2 on the U.S. Billboard R&B Album Chart, and #50 on the UK Albums Chart. It was certified gold on the UK for sales of over 100,000 copies.

It was also the fourth best-selling R&B album and fifth best-selling Pop album of 1973.

It was critically acclaimed for Ross emulating Billie Holiday's voice while retaining her own individual sound. The soundtrack is also noted for being the only Motown album to have a special designed label to match the album cover on the vinyl release, rather than Motown's usual "Map of Detroit" design. This label design would also turn up on the single releases from the soundtrack.
