Reading about Kay Medford's Gypsy album which I had never heard about brought to mind Miss Ross' turn as Fanny Brice on Diana Ross & The Supremes Sing and Perform Funny Girl.  I first heard the lp many years ago.  It has to be heard to be believed.  I find the "Sing and Perform" part of the title the most interesting.  

There is also an alternate back cover with liner notes by Jule Styne.

Apple Music has it. They have the best selection of cast albums in my opinion. 

Apple Music version also has a 2014 remastered edition, so it's like a two-for-one. No, I don't work for Apple...ha ha...

I found the LP decades ago and have had this on my iTunes for years and it's still a fun listen.   Still love Miss Ross' funky "Don't Rain on My Parade" and... for your viewing pleasure, here is Diana Ross and The Supremes (Mary Wilson and Cindy Birdsong) performing a FUNNY GIRL medley on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1968:

I wonder if Miss Ross ever had any Broadway aspirations?

Well, she WAS on Broadway during the Summer of 1976.

Barbra HATED this album - it was released in conjunction with the hype of the "Funny Girl" film.

I'm listening to it now...very Vegas but a lot of fun, too.

I love this album. Also, The Supremes sing Rodgers & Hart.

Diana Ross needs to put out a broadway album to compete with Barbra's new one.
