    Diana Ross and The Supremes were the "Crown Jewel" of Motown. She was also a HUGE influence on Michael Jackson. 11 number 1 hits in the 1960s alone. You need to see The Supremes in the 1960s. Legendary. Cheers.

    She was in the Supremes, the greatest and best selling girl group of the 60's. They eventually were billed as Diana Ross and the Supremes as their popularity grew to higher and higher levels and the media focused ever closer on her. Finally she embarked on her solo career. A true legend and icon.

      Billboard ranked The Supremes as the 16th greatest Hot 100 artist of all time. They were the most successful American vocal group. One time I read that the Supremes were third behind The Beatles and Elvis in terms of ht records (and/or record sales) during the 1960s. RSR: You need to go down this "rabbit hole"--starting with "Love Child" by the Supremes.

    This was released in 1995. She had been on the scene for 30 years plus at this point. You have to try her earlier stuff, from when she was with the Supremes. And then work your way through the years. She has a whole catalogue of hits.

    This is when Diana Ross went solo. But you really need to check out her Motown music from the 60's with her group "The Supremes". Most of their early material was written & produced by Berry Gordy or Smokey Robinson. They had so many great hits such as "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Stop! In The Name Of Love", "Back In My Arms Again", "I Hear A Symphony", "You Can't Hurry Love", "Love Is like An Itching In My Heart", "Love Is Here & Now You’re Gone", "You Keep Me Hangin' On", "Love Child", "Someday We'll Be Together" etc.

Diana Ross was always about love and a powerful inspiration for me. She was a good friend with Michael Jackson and they collaborated several times. You REALLY want to listen to more of her music. In addition to this breathy sound, she could also be a powerhouse. Thank you so very much for this joy!

    Dianna has essentially been performing over my entire 65 year lifespan, as she started performing in 1956, the year I was born. She's always been an icon and idol, both with The Supremes and as a solo act. I got to see her in concert just a few years ago... still puts on a GREAT show (she was in early '70s at the time). She made mention that her feet were killing her and ended up taking off her shoes, but that didn't affect her performance one bit. What a show! She also had her "other" daughter (singer-songwriter Rhonda, not Tracee from Black-ish) on stage with her for a few songs.

She also played Dorothy in the movie version of The Wiz (an all-black take on the Wizard of Oz, which also starred Michael Jackson...check out Ease On Down The Road).

The story that Diana Ross discovered The Jackson 5 was part of Motown's marketing and promotions plan for The Jackson 5. They wanted to bring as much attention as possible to The Jackson 5, and fortunately for music lovers around the world the plan worked.

She was 50 or 51 when she released this. She started as the lead singer of the Supremes in 1959, at only age 15!!! Then she left the group and started her solo career in 1970.

    Diana's career started at Motown in the '60s with the group the Supremes, one of the most successful girl groups in history. She went on to have a very successful solo career in the 70s and 80s. This is one of the songs she did later in her career. She had some beautiful hits with the Supremes, and solo hits like The Boss, I'm Coming Out, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, Love Hangover, and Missing You. Please do not forget about Whitney Houston as one of those amazing divas in the 80s and 90s. Please do Whitney's song, I will Always Love You. Thank you for your reactions.

    Don’t forget that it was Diana Ross who played Billie Holiday in the movie Lady Sings the Blues! I saw her in the mid 70s, when she sang several of Billie’s song. Diana had the best audience eye contact!

    Oh my! Can't believe that Jay didn't know about Diana Ross. She is one of thee biggest recording acts of all time. You really need to delve into her extraordinary discography, from Ain't No Mountain High Enough and Touch Me In The Morning to Coming Out and Chain Reaction (this last one was written by Barry Gibb). One of my favorites by her was a little tune called Last Time I Saw Him. Get to know this iconic performer!

    She has a huge catalog of hits. Start with The Supremes, and then her solo career. She sung with Michael Jackson in "USA for Africa"; a video you reacted to. This song doesn't show off her voice. I think this was from her last albums,

    i don't understand... how could you not of hear of Diana Ross. She was the Queen of Motown, was the lead singer of one of the most successful musical groups instrumental in tearing down the colour barrier in music and "Dream Girls" is loosely based on Diana Ross and the Supremes. Diana was also a style icon. Even my mum (who i White and blonde), tried to emulate Diana Ross and her style in the 60s!
    And sooo much of the music you say you grew up, came from Motown stars. I think it's super important for African Americans to know their Motown and the immense work these artists did being on the frontlines of the fight for justice/equality literally but also through sharing art that appealed to EVERYONE.

    Diana Ross was a major part of the Motown group The Supremes with hits like "Stop! In the Name of Lave", "Come See About Me", and "I Hear A Symphony".
    Also, check out her duet with Lionel Richie "Endless Love"

    The Supremes were contemporaries of the early Beatles and initially were more famous. My older sister listened to both groups. Stop In The Name Of Love and Baby Love were probably their biggest hits.

    Definitely gotta do Love Child when she was was the Supremes, and Ain't No Mountain High Enough from her solo career. She was also an actress and you might want to put "The Lady Sings the Blues" on your movie list. Diana was nominated for a grammy as Best Actress for her portrayal of Billie Holiday during a turbulent time in that singer's career. Ably supported in her role by Billy Dee Williams (hearthrob) and Richard Pryor. The film was nominated for five Grammy awards, and the album soundtrack for the movie topped the charts.

      FYI, Love Child was not recorded with the Supremes. It was technically a solo effort by Diana. However, it was recorded with another group, but I can't remember their name, but I believe it starts with an "A." Mr. Gordy thought it would be perceived well to give credit to the Supremes, and his strategy worked. However, it was during that time that Ross was preparing for her exit from the group to debut her solo career, which debuted in 1970. Again, technically, Love Child was a solo effort by Ross.

  • @owenfromkc3468
    @owenfromkc3468 2 года назад +3

    Michael Jackson's dream was to sing a duet with her. By the time he was solo they were on different labels. They had a couple songs for 'The Wiz'. He purposely put both their lyrics together on 'We Are The World' so they could have their duet he wrote.

    This is not a song I've ever heard of, but she has many iconic songs as a solo artist and with her group "The Supremes" (*The Supreme Songs: Stop in the name of Love, You Can't hurry Love, Someday we'll be together, Stone Love, Come see about Me....*Songs as a Solo artist: Endless Love, Ain't No Mountain High Enough, I'm coming out, Upside Down, Touch me in the Morning, The Theme song from Mahogany). 🙂
    She was an actress also (*movies: Mahogany, The Wiz, Lady sings the Blues). She's also the Godmother to Michael Jackson's kids.

    Jordan, you have heard the name Diana Ross, because Barry and his brothers talked about writing "Chain Reaction" for her. But, beyond that, she was extremely popular in the 60's with and without the Supremes. If you haven't seen it, she played Billie Holiday in the 1972 movie "Lady Sings the Blues."

    Diana Ross is a goddess! Her amazing career has spanned decades. I would suggest you check out her songs when she was with The Supremes in the 60's - "Reflections", "Baby Love", "Love Child", "Stop in the Name of Love", "Someday We'll Be Together", "You Can't Hurry Love", "I'm Gonna Make You Love Me", "Come See About Me", "Back in My Arms Again", her solo music- "Do You Know Where You're Going To (Theme from "Mahogany"), "A'int No Mountain High Enough", "I'm Coming Out", "Upside Down", "Touch Me in the Morning", "It's My House", "One Love in a Lifetime", "Reach Out & Touch (Somebody's Hand)", "I Heard a Love Song", "Remember Me" and her duets - "Endless Love" (with Lionel Ritchie), "You're a Special Part of Me" (with Marvin Gaye), "Ease on Down the Road" (with Michael Jackson - from the movie "The Wiz" - actually, you should listen to that entire soundtrack). Her music is so varied & so wonderful! She should also be a regular artist for "Female Friday".
