Diahann Carroll did it all / TV / Movies / The Broadway Stage / Singer. The Archive of American Television has an in-depth interview with Carroll. She talks about her complete career. (Check it out on YouTube).
My absolute favorite performance of hers was when she guest starred on the TV show, "The Love Boat" (ABC). Her character was named Roxie Blue who is a singer. She decides to take a break from her career to vacation on a cruise ship. She has a weekend affair with Isaac the bartender who falls in love with her. But - Roxie has a career which always comes first. She even does a musical number for Captain Stubing.
"The Love Boat" episode is called, "Isaac the Groupie" that aired on 10/22/1977.
