"Stolen Moments: The Lady Sings... Jazz and Blues" is a live album by Diana Ross released in 1993.
The album was recorded at the Ritz Theatre in New York City on December 4, 1992. The nineteen Jazz standards, which are highly associated with Billie Holiday, had been sung by the Motown diva twenty years before for the soundtrack of her award-winning film Lady Sings the Blues. The band backing Diana includes Jazz giants Roy Hargrove, Ron Carter, Jon Faddis, and Urbie Greene, amongst others. Upon release, the album reached the Top 10 on Billboard's Jazz chart.
A 90 minute video recording of the show was released, initially as a Pay-Per-View event in the United States, and then in the various video formats available at the time. The video recording featured a performance by Rhonda Ross and behind-the-scenes footage with Diana.
A studio recording of "Where Did We Go Wrong" was included in international editions of the album.
