During her almost three-hour concert Saturday night at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles, Diana brought Tracee on stage to join her for some verses on “Endless Love.”

“My mom said I have to get over my fear of singing with her on stage,” Tracee said.

The “Black-ish” star pointed out that even though she sang in a movie, “I get next to her and I’m five years old. I’m going to take a deep breath.”

As she began singing the first verse – “My love, there’s only you in my life/The only thing that’s right” – the audience erupted in cheers and applause.

”That was good, Tracee,” Diana gushed.

Later, Rhonda Ross, Diana’s eldest daughter with Berry Gordy, also performed with her mother and then a set of original songs while her mom changed gowns backstage.

Also making appearances on stage were Ross’ daughter Chudney Ross, sons Ross Naess and Evan Ross and his wife Ashlee Simpson, along with their kids Jagger and Ziggy.

“I wanted to sing ‘Endless Love’ with you. I’m very mad at the fact that you brought Tracee up,” Evan cracked.

In addition to “Endless Love,” Ross’ greatest hits set list included classics like “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,” “Reach Out and Touch (Somebody’s Hand),” “Theme from ‘Mahogany’ (Do You Know Where You’re Going To?),” “I’m Coming Out,” “Upside Down” and a cover of the disco anthem “I Will Survive.”

The concert included three wardrobe changes. Ross started in a black-and-white gown, followed by red, then gold before slipping into a silver number for the encore.

Showing off a little shimmy dance move, the 81-year-old Grammy winner and Academy Award-nominated actor exclaimed, “Either you move it or you lose it.”
