Diana Ross

Singer Diana Ross is one of the few to have 2 stars at once on the Hollywood Walk of Fame (the first as a solo artist, the second as a member of The Supremes). In total, over her entire musical career, the artist has recorded 57 studio albums and sold over 150 million discs worldwide. In 1999, the channel "VH1" included the performer of the song "I love you" in the list of "100 Greatest Women in Rock and Roll".

Diana Ross was born on March 26, 1944, in the city of Detroit, located on the border with Canada. Like her father, Ross attended Detroit Tech High School. She graduated in January 1962, a semester earlier than her classmates. The artist was fond of vocals even in high school. Then she and her friends created the women's collective "Primettes", which was later renamed "Supremes".

The teenage hobby for singing gradually grew into work, and in 1960 the group signed a contract with the subsidiary of Motown Records. In 1962 one of the vocalists left "Supremes" and the quartet turned into a trio. For a couple of months, the group could not achieve popularity and, in order to change the situation, in 1963 the director of the record company made Ross a soloist, suggesting that Diana's strong, velvet voice would help the band gain fame.

This decision bore fruit: the following year, the composition "Where Did Our Love Go" reached the first place in the American chart. The subsequent period was extremely successful for Supremes. Their songs became hits one after another. However, disagreements between the girlfriends led to the fact that another member, Florence Ballard, left the group, after which Cindy Birdsong took her place.

Despite the internal ups and downs, "Supremes" recorded a couple of albums, singles from which at different times topped the national charts, and eventually became famous throughout Europe. The label management understood that the stake should be placed not on the group, but on the lead vocalist Diana, so in 1968 Ross began to "promote" as a solo performer.

In January 1970, the singer played her last concert with the Supremes. Without its prima, the languishing trio, which has survived more than one personnel reshuffle, lasted until 1977 and disbanded itself. Few people know, but at the first solo concerts of Ross, one more wards of the Motown label were presented - the Jackson 5 group, which included the young Michael Jackson.

Diana's debut solo single "Reach out and Touch" did not cause much enthusiasm among the listeners, but the second track "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" a week after the release became a regular on various charts. The 1971 single "I'm Still Waiting", received without enthusiasm at home, became a hit in the UK. The Americans liked the songs "Reach out I'll Be There", "Remember Me" and "You're a Special Part оf Me" more.

The full-length solo album "Diana Ross" was released in 1970. A week after its release, the album climbed to the top twenty best-selling pop albums in America. In 1973, the singer's new works appeared on the shelves - the record "Touch Me in the Morning" and the duet album with Marvin Gaye "Diana & Marvin", which rose to 26th place on the pop charts in the United States. It was rumored that, while recording this rather popular disc, the performers did not even meet in the studio.

The next big success of the singer is the track "Do You Know Where You're Going to", which also became the leader of the American charts. In the second half of the 70s, Ross began releasing records that gradually moved away from pop soul and gravitated towards disco ("Ross", "Baby It's Me" and "The Boss")

In the 80s, Diana Ross had the same flair for the selection of potentially hit material and the same ability to captivate millions of listeners. The soundtracks she recorded became invariably successful. The soundtrack to the film "Endless Love" was released in 1981 and hit the Top 10 in America.

After the gold album "The Boss", Diana's discography was replenished with the platinum disc "Diana", which soared above all other albums in the singer's career and became number two in the pop chart. The record was produced by Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, both of Chic.

The album featured two successful singles - "I'm Coming Out" and the funky track "Upside Down", which topped the US charts for a month. In 1981, the singer performed her next American hit "Endless Love" ("Endless Love"). True, not alone, but in a duet with another prominent performer - Lionel Richie. Although Richie was an excellent composer himself, Diana wrote the ballad.

The second prominent song, "When You Tell Me That You Love Me", was recorded in 1991 and ranked # 2 in Britain. According to music critics, the death of Freddie Mercury and the subsequent reissue of "Bohemian Rhapsody" prevented the leading British top single.

In 1994, "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" was successfully covered by singer Julio Iglesias, with whom Diana once recorded the song "All Of You" (a video was shot for the song), and in 2005, a British boy band "Westlife". In 2003, on the eve of her 60th birthday, the artist sat down to write her autobiography, which she decided to call “Upside Down”.

According to the singer, the book will tell the whole truth about the last ten years of her life: about a divorce, about a failed tour, about an addiction to alcohol and a sensational arrest (for drunk driving). According to press attache Diana, this work will show that the stars are also not immune from disappointment, loneliness and all the losses and problems that every person faces every day during his life.

Ross's personal life has always been a favorite topic for the yellow press. Despite the affair attributed to the artist with the head of the Motown label, Berry Gordy, in April 1971, Diana became the wife of businessman Robert Silberstein.

The couple lived together for five years, gave birth to three daughters, after which they divorced without scandals and division of property. In the early 80s, the singer of the song "When you" for a couple of months met with the frontman of the group "Kiss" Gene Simmons.

By the time of their separation, all kinds of assumptions had long been built on the pages of newspapers about the nature of the singer's relationship with Michael Jackson, whose mentor Diana had been from their first joint performance. In October 1985, the charismatic vocalist married the Norwegian millionaire Arne Ness Jr., with whom the artist divorced in 2000. It is known that in this marriage two sons were born.

In 2017, the eminent singer continues to give concerts. So, in July, the artist visited Louisiana with her musical program, consisting of hits of past years, in April she performed in New York, and in October she will sing for the residents of Las Vegas. It is known that the performer of the song "I will survive" has accounts on Twitter and Facebook.

It is also worth noting that social networks are not the only resource that tells fans about the latest news from Ross' life. Materials (interviews, photos from concerts) related to the creative biography of the Hollywood star are also often published on various Internet portals and in print media.
