Have you heard about the petition to get Ms. Ross inducted into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a solo artist ? www.change.org/p/rock-roll-hall-of-fame-ms-ross-deserves-to-be-separately-inducted-into-the-rock-roll-hall-of-fame If you have signed, or even if you haven’t, you can write to Jon Landau 750 Lexington avenue New York, New York 10022 (nominating committee). When doing this make sure to say you want to see Diana Ross on the ballot for the 2022 induction !
The Supremes as a group should be inducted into the Hall of Fame, if not already. Ms.Ross as a solo artist should be, also. Ross also should be inducted as solo.
But all of the Jackson's talk like that. I think her influence in that manner spreads throughout the family. It was already close to the way their mother speaks as far as tone, but you definitely hit the nail on the head about the cadence. MJ, Toya, Janet and Jermaine especially have that same Ross-ish cadence.
Diana Ross is simply gorgeous. This video really speaks to the heart of who she is and how she lives her life. All that she is speaking about in terms of positive thinking, being honest with herself and deciding what works for her are all the things I try to live by. I've been looking for this interview for years. Diana Ross has one of the most beautiful speaking and singing voices I've ever heard. She is simply the best! I would love to hear how she feels about this gem if she sees this. Very inspirational. Thank you for posting visit interview.
@@JloveLamarHey there! I'm still here. I thought that was weird that I couldn't see my replies to you. I was thinking it was a issue with my RUclips account. I'm still here. Are you good?
She was first called a "legend" in 1973 and had only been in the game 10 yrs or so. Back then a legend meant a LEGEND...today they say that about everyone...but she is truly a legendary figure of the 20th century and the 21st as well...
Because she sold more records than any female singer in those days, and she did it when there were no tricks, in the face of many who said she couldn't sing. Her concerts were always full house. Many dismissed her as some kind of pop-tart that would fade away in a year. They didn't get it, and never did. Too bad for them
I think it’s because everyone knows the 60’s was an incredibly pioneering time. Things changed drastically around that time and set path for the future for sure. Diana Ross was a huge part of the change, so it was easy to call her a legend by the time the 70’s rolled in. Especially after her successful first two solo singles; Reach Out And Touch and Ain’t No Mountain High Enough. It was like… damn… how much higher can this black woman go. Legendary stuff.
@@AlkalineInsides Her solo debut single Reach Out And Touch only peaked at number 20 in 1970 which was considered ok for her standard in the 60s but Ain't No Moutain High Enough was indeed her first number one solo single
@@AlkalineInsides When you are coming out of 12 number one singles as the front woman of a group the exepctations are insanely. Top 20 was moderate for her caliber in 1970. It wasn't a flop at all but it wasn't a smash it either
As the years go on I can visually see her success. Very Successful in her career; her parenting, and successful in defining who she is and her belief system. Her children do not just tolerate her but absolutely adore her! That is very impressive to me.
Diana has a soft voice but I don’t have to strain to hear her, because she means what she says and she says it with conviction and clarity. An example of being feminine and strong.
Just like her singing. You don't have to be loud like a tuba to be a good singer. Patti was loud, so what. She also couldn't sell records or concerts anywhere near as well as Diana
Poise, charm and personality to spare. Nice that the interviewer allowed her to answer without interruption. Great interview and time revealed her to be a fantastic mother.
I remember when Oprah asked Diana "Have we ever seen your real hair?" and she responded yes while the audience was shown a pic of the album cover with her hair slicked back while wearing a white t-shirt. I think they should've showed a clip from this interview because I think this is her real hair as well.
Diana Ross is a force to be reckoned with. She know what she wants and knows how to convey her feelings. This guy had no idea what he got into. She is the true queen of the millennium….I love her so much….This guy had no chance…Her hair is so beautiful…
Love her take on motherhood and career and positive thinking (conscious manifesting) it’s so validating to hear this refreshing perspective on handling life as a woman. I share such similar sentiments and it’s nice to hear from such a strong and yet totally lovely woman. ❤️🔥💥
One of the most candid interviews ever witnessed. Now, I really understand her even though I’ve been a fan since the group first started and the early Motown glory days. She’s did it! Diana Ross self-actualized. It was great to hear how the name change of the Supreme came about. And it’s unfortunate how singers of her caliber aren’t appreciated and recorded due to age discrimination in the industry. I just listened to the non-CD release of Diana Ross Sings Songs from The Wiz and was astonished to hear her voice displayed in such form. Her vocals are at it’s best. The ballads are unbelievable. And Quincy Jones has said that she is hardest working person with whom he’s worked. From Quincy that’s quite a compliment! Check out her last few studio albums and you’ll be able to witness what we’re missing now. Thanks Diana for sharing The Gift...
@@thomasdelvin3683 - You’re absolutely correct. Except in this interview she seemed to let it all hangout. Not monitoring her every word. And in return the interviewer said in 1975: - “.. are you like this, because of you being a COLORED woman or BLACK woman?” 🤯 WTF She finally let’s go of the “refined Motown phoniness” and of course = She’s called, AN ANGRY BLACK WOMAN (B!tch)
Wow watching this has made me gain so much more love and respect for Diana. She’s a Queen a carries herself as such. The fact the she got everything she wanted out of life and worked for it, is one story to admire. This interview really touched my heart. Thank you for posting.
Great interview this is the Diane I remember.. Now here we are 50yrs on and she is headlining HMQ PLATINUM jubilee concert at BUCKINGHAM PALACE .A long way from her roots in DETROIT ....BRAVO XX
Diana Ross, appears to have been successful...That her children to be happy. She has done a wonderful job. At age 77, a grandmother, and a mother she reared a scandal free family...5 beautiful successful children. God has truly blessed her. May his Grace continue to bless her 🙏❤♥...This is what hands on is all about.
...do you see this!? DO-YOU-SEEEE-THIS!?? ...elegance. Independence.

She's such a great role model. I don't know much about her, but just from this interview I admire her. The way she presents herself, how she speaks and what she says... fascinating and intriguing. Hopefully I can learn a thing or two from her
I love Diana Ross as an artist singer and actress this interview made me fall in love more with her as a person. She has been a tremendous inspiration to me and my music career thanks so much Mrs Diana Ross I love you and your daughter Tracee as well love and blessings continued prosperity and love the positive energy and we share the same sign Aries love it love you Artist/writer - Belinda B.B Storm my new EP and video is being released soon. This really inspired me my music is produced by Grammy award winning Narada Michael Walden ' Agape love.
The Supremes was untouchables when it came to entertaining. The best concerts I've ever gone to was Diana Ross and the SUPREMES unbelievable. Seem like the songs was dropping from heaven. I hear a symphony, Stop in the name of love, you can,t hurry love , one of my very favorite is DO YOU KNOW WHERE YOUR GOING TO , DO YOU LIKE THE THINGS YOUR LIFE IS SHOWING U ,knows , a lost gem, So much beautiful music came from this group with nothing but perfection , knowledge ,class ,beauty and Glammer not trying to take away from all the others great entertainers, but the Supreme was one of my favorite singing groups .
I love that she attempted twice during this interview to talk about the uniqueness of the Mahogany role for a black woman. He didn’t catch the opportunity or wasn’t interested.
I haven’t heard any of her music, but this interview was fantastic! I saw a clip of this interview on Instagram (the part where she was talking about positive thoughts) and decided to find it, I’m so glad I did!
He was a biggish star in the day but he was very troubled. He seemed to look down on his guests. Also he was gay in a time when it was impossible to be "out".
The artist development school at Motown worked phenomenally. Diana Ross is very polish in this interview. She speaks very correctly. David Ruffin was a very refine articulate man as well.
If anyone wants to know what the X in x-factor all they need to do is look at Diana Ross! It does make me cross that people knock Diana for being ambitious and career driven. Good on her and look what a career she has had!
This is a great interview. Diana is relaxed and at ease with Russell Harty. She is honest and candid- especially when discussing her disappointment at loosing out to Liza Minnelli at the Oscars. Frustratingly The Russell Harty Show was not Nationally Networked across the ITV Network, so many fans including me, never got to see this interview when it was broadcast. I've had to wait 46 years....
MY GOODNESS!!! It has taken soooooooo long to see this in its entirety. Thank you soo much. This is an interview for the books. One of those rare interviews that you hear her talk a little deeper about The Supremes. It was really useful information. 💙 what an incredible woman. Not so into the creepy interviewer though. I can only imagine how inappropriate he's been to women behind the scenes.
Russell Harty was a much loved TV personality and great chat show host. He was a closeted gay man who sadly died a very public death from AIDS. His final days saw him treated dreadfully by the UK media who sneaked into his hospital room to photograph him on his death bed. A complete lack of respect for a dying man. Russell is remembered fondly. He was famous for messing up and his infamous interview with Grace Jones where she slapped his face during a live interview is TV gold.
Amazing interview. Amazing woman. Positive thinking. I am sold. 2021. This inview explains a lot now. She was doing it all back then. Early. She is still very much relevant. She shows the true power and yes she does affect things. She is living proof. She "did" some shady stuff - I did not approve of some things she did, but you know what? She is not my mother! So I have learned, and copying her POSITIVITY, she is amazing. I am very happy. She is human. Not an alien. That energy? It is because she IS a STAR. We should value her. Amazing.
Diana Ross is correct about doing the most work, while sharing the Supremes pay three ways evenly. Diana was the only one singing on many Supremes recording. Her father always pushed her to demand more money. That’s why I never felt pity for Flo or Mary. For Flo not to show up for performances and the girls to act unprofessional and tried to jeopardize the group, caused Berry to react. That’s why he had Cindy in the woodworks and made Diana do most of the work. In the end, Mary sided to have Flo leave. Florence and Mary were jealous of Diana, but I felt Flo really had emotional issues/trauma and misplaced her anguish. When Jean Terrell took over that group, Mary never said a word and she stayed in the group and was the only original. Diana was never the reason why Mary wasn't the lead, as she stated.
Russell Harty had quite an assertive style as an interviewer, very self-assured, and I think Diana was attracted to his energy here. She seems to be enjoying the interview. I think he was the kind of man who appealed to her.
COLORED? LORD he must have been real old. This were the 70's. However I like the way Diana Ross looked at him. Her facial expression let him knew that referring to Blacks as colored was incorrect. Then she proceeded to answer his question and recovered nicely. Way to go Diana Ross.
God, will people, or can people ever get over color? All he can see is that she is a woman of color, its not just him alone but lot of people are still that way. She's a very smart woman of color and he cant take her. If that was Barbara or Dolly Im sure he would not have acted or questioned her in the same manor.
@@rondothard1698 Probably Not Ron. Did you see the one where this fool was questioning Ike and Tina Turner road manager? Google and listen to the video. Then write me back. Lord, Lord Ron. Cora
@Fred W You are so right Fred. Diana Ross asked him from the start "do you think I'm going to let you make my unhappy". She won this interview by a mile. GOD BLESS you too. Stay Healthy.

She shows the true power and yes she does affect things. She is living proof. She "did" some shady stuff - I did not approve of some things she did, but you know what? She is not my mother! So I have learned, and copying her POSITIVITY, she is amazing. I am very happy. She is human. Not an alien. That energy? It is because she IS a STAR. We should value her. Amazing.
I was there...the bleeped word is with f*cking. Diana came across as very warm. I enjoyed the interview. Russell got Diana to talk.

Amazing! Thank you for posting this!
Diana Ross is correct about doing the most work, while sharing the Supremes pay three ways evenly. Diana was the only one singing on many Supremes recording. Her father always pushed her to demand more money. That’s why I never felt pity for Flo or Mary. For Flo not to show up for performances and the girls to act unprofessional and tried to jeopardize the group, caused Berry to react. That’s why he had Cindy in the woodworks and made Diana do most of the work. In the end, Mary sided to have Flo leave. Florence and Mary were jealous of Diana, but I felt Flo really had emotional issues/trauma and misplaced her anguish. When Jean Terrell took over that group, Mary never said a word and she stayed in the group and was the only original. Diana was never the reason why Mary wasn't the lead, as she stated.
AMEN!!!! I couldn’t have said it any better
You get it!!! Yes

Micci , thank you very much for your videos, these are truly gems !
You’re welcome ❤️
Russell Harty had quite an assertive style as an interviewer, very self-assured, and I think Diana was attracted to his energy here. She seems to be enjoying the interview. I think he was the kind of man who appealed to her.
Special place in my heart ❤️
Royalty Queen!
Incredibly beautiful and talented woman... a true superstar.
COLORED? LORD he must have been real old. This were the 70's. However I like the way Diana Ross looked at him. Her facial expression let him knew that referring to Blacks as colored was incorrect. Then she proceeded to answer his question and recovered nicely. Way to go Diana Ross.
God, will people, or can people ever get over color? All he can see is that she is a woman of color, its not just him alone but lot of people are still that way. She's a very smart woman of color and he cant take her. If that was Barbara or Dolly Im sure he would not have acted or questioned her in the same manor.
@@rondothard1698 Probably Not Ron. Did you see the one where this fool was questioning Ike and Tina Turner road manager? Google and listen to the video. Then write me back. Lord, Lord Ron. Cora
@Fred W Who the hell are you? The interviewer? If not then why are you 😡 unhappy?
@Fred W You are so right Fred. Diana Ross asked him from the start "do you think I'm going to let you make my unhappy". She won this interview by a mile. GOD BLESS you too. Stay Healthy.
@ilj274 STUPID is the word.
Just beautiful
At her most stunningly beautiful.
