Command Performance


Diana Ross is a phenom. Everyone has an opinion on her. I formally believe that the race is not won by the swifest.... She was lead singer of one of the biggest girl groups of all time, The Supremes. She filmed a classic spell binding performance as Billie Holiday in 'Lady Sings The Blues'. Ironically she's never won a Grammy(very odd). It's hard to believe that she's not had a hit since 1984's 'Missing You' her tribute to Marvin Gaye. When you think of entertainment, few can compare to Diana Ross and her legacy. Always a class act. Some will criticize her, but you can't take away her professionalism, staying power and her love for her children. She's paved the way for Natalie Cole, Madonna, Whitney Houston, Britney Spears, Beyonce', Rihanna and many more. The owner of 12 number one hits.
This classic performance of Ms. Ross illustrates, who she is, and how much she loves her audience, and how much she enjoys what she's doing. Never afraid of her fans, she always mingles in with her crowd, and she does it with ease. Diana Ross IS the real thing.

    Diana Ross is a show biz legend. You don't become that, by sitting idle. Mary Wilson is a jealous and jaded background singer ironically Kelly Rowland is the new Mary Wilson. Diana Ross has five grown children who are all doing very well. Thank you for remembering this legend, most tend to forget.

    Thanks a million for giving Lady Day Diana Ross her props. I was a teenager and my parents took me to her Central Park show in 1983. Over 800,000 people were in attendance and it rained and rained, and she continued to perform until they no longer thought it safe. The true entertainer that she is, stayed on stage and instructed everyone from a safety standpoint. She couldve easily played a prima donna and not cared, but she stayed and sang us out of the park. I still remember that very special day. I love her. Please post some of the Central Park performances, they were great!!
