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.

I can't believe you guys haven't touched on The Supremes yet. They were THE girl group of the 60's and you've kind of gone all around them. Diana Ross and The Supremes are queens and legends. They were one of the cornerstone groups of Motown. This, of course, is Diana as a solo artist, but please go back in time for The Supremes when you can.

Diana Ross is one of the most influential performers of our lifetime,just a huge library of spectacular music.

Diana Ross was on the We are the World video you guys reacted to. You will need to watch that again now that you will recognize so many more of the artists. When I saw the making of that video with the rehearsals I noticed Diana had the most consistently beautiful voice every take they made.

Diana was one of the biggest music divas ever. To just say the she is world famous is to say a massive understatement. Saw her a few years ago in concert, and she still commands the stage like no one else.

'Upside Down' was one of her disco era solo hits and one of my all-time favorites. Nile Rogers from Chic plays bass on that, also produced by him and another Chic band member Bernard Edwards (also a good girl-fronted group to check out on a Female Friday.)

Rodgers played guitar and Edwards played bass on Upside Down. Those also were the instruments they played in Chic.

Diana was the one who harmonized with Michael Jackson in "We Are The World". A legend you need to hear early in her career in the mid-60's with the Supremes! Also, you need to try Jody Watley on Female Friday with "Lookin' For A New Love", more seductive 80's sounds!

I can hardly believe it, but I never heard this song before and I have been an enormous fan of Diana Ross since my teens. What a terrific bop! 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!

@niceguy5976

Motown producer Bobby Taylor discovered The Jackson 5, at a concert in Chicago in 1968. The Jackson 5 was the opening act. 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.

I believe that Diana was in her 50’s when this song was released and she still looked that fabulous with that much energy. True talent.

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 didn't discover the Jackson 5, that is why Chris used "discovered" . Berry Gordy connected the two by having Diana "presenting" the Jackson 5 as the newest Motown group. It was first by invitation at Gordy's house and then on an album and on TV.

I saw her in concert just a couple years ago during her 75th birthday series, and she can still KILL IT. She is an ICON, and she has influenced decades of artists

This song is so infectious!!! I remember when I listened to it for the first time and I still feel the same way when o listen to it today. Diana Ross is an icon and has released so many great tunes.

Another iconic voice is Pattie Labelle her duet with Michael McDonald ' On my own ' two iconic voices is a must

Guys...she is an icon. The queen of icons. The original Diva. You need to go down the Ross rabbit hole.

Diana Ross is so amazing, beautiful and ageless. Hoping you listen to more of her great tunes.

She’s also an actress. She played the legendary Billy Holiday in “Lady Sings The Blues”.

Way back in 1976, Billboard Magazine voted her Female Performer of the Century.

Diana Ross has been an iconic legend for almost six decades. You mentioned her daughter and I'm like 🤷‍♂️who?

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!

You need to listen to Diana Ross and Lionel Richie sing "Endless Love" you will not be disappointed.

Diana Ross is huge! From The Supremes, and Solo Career, she is simply one of the best! But you should really dig into her 60's and 70's stuff!

My favorite song by Diana Ross was "My World Is Empty Without You", one of her early (1965) hits with The Supremes. In 1967 their name was changed to "Diana Ross & the Supremes".

Diana Ross (born March 26, 1944) is an American singer, songwriter and actress, born in Detroit, Michigan. She rose to fame as the lead singer of the vocal group the Supremes, who became Motown's most successful act during the 1960s and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. They remain the best-charting female group in history,[2] with a total of twelve number-one hit singles on the US Billboard Hot 100, including, "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", and "Love Child". She is 77 years old

I must admit I am surprised this was a suggestion to listen to with the kind of career that Diana has had, but it was refreshing to see a more modern song from her and rock it in her 50s. 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. This is a DEEP rabbit hole.

This Diana Ross from the mid 90’s…..her third decade making great music. Diana and the Supremes were one of those great music seeds that grew out of Motown. Their musical catalog starts in the early 1960’s. You can spend 24 hours on Female Friday on Diana and the Supremes.

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. (Sorry to lecture).

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!

Diana Ross was the Lead Singer with "the Supremes", an all Female Group, when they had their first #1 hit in 1964, "Where Did Our Love Go"... "The Supremes" had 12 #1 Singles from 1964 to 1969, and were second only to "The Beatles" for the most Billboard #1 Singles... Perhaps there may be a future "Female Friday" with the Supremes?!?

I haven’t heard this song but I am not surprised it was a great song she has a long history of great songs looking forward to seeing you act to more of her songs . She started out with the Motown group the Supremes you should check them out in an up coming female Friday

This was Diana Ross number 1 Dance hit. Diana is an icon. With many hits love all her songs ❤❤

Pure DIVA. Diana Ross has always been a class act. Had such a crush on her as a kid lol. She sang so many timeless songs. Her catalog goes deep.

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.

Diana ross is an icon and a movie actress. And she has even better songs than this one. Took my mom to see once blessed to see her live shows she would walk even into the audience she is so cool. Saw her a few times. I love diana ross❤

The Guinness Book of World Records declared Diana Ross as the most successful female music artist of the 20th century with a total of seventy charted hits, and was later bested by Madonna. As a solo artist, The Supreme's became the first female artist to score six number-one hit singles. The word Diva was first used, and popularized to describe her, she is known as the first Original Diva, for popular music, she has brought Big Hair, Beauty ,Class, Elegance,Showmanship, and High Fashion into the mainstream music industry, and started the trend of fabulous entrance's, and exit's, and wardrobe changes. She was the Black American Academy Award nominee Hopeful, for her acting in Lady Sings The Blues, and continues to perform in her own television show's, and at the age of 78 this March she is still making music, and selling out concerts. With her Supreme and solo hits, she is arguable the most successful artist of all time if you add her solo and group hits together with fans of all age's and colors, she was a global success since becoming famous. And she has one of the largest fan base globally. She is also one of the few artists to have two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame as a solo artist, and as member of the Supreme's. She is truly a unique artist with unique voice, and very few people ever try, and copy her or her style. Without her their would not be a Whitney or Beyounce. or a Madonna.Their have only been around two people before her that has came close to her level of fame, and that was American born Josephine Baker, and Lena Horn. And by the way Josephine Baker, was the first Black female Superstar, she had global fame but not world wide commercial music success. IE hits, She basically was a artist of Parisian music. The Supreme's where just as big as the Beatles. All other female superstars came after Miss Ross, only hoping for her level of success. Even Michael Jackson wanted to be like her, lol. but true.

Did you say Diana Ross? Oh you mean the Legend? I know y’all are young but man it cracks me up when someone doesn’t know someone with the caliber of someone like her. Diana is a queen of Legends.

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,

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.

“Reach out. Show somebody that you care.” Wise words for a better world

I love Diana Ross ♥ I love this song ❤

You also have to watch Diana Ross's megahit movie "Mahogany" with Billie Dee Williams. That Movie is so iconic about the black woman experience... its sad but worth it.

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"

Diana Ross is also amazing in live in Central Park 1983!

YES YES YES YOU FINALLY DID IT..OMG I LOVE MS ROSS...THIS WAS JUST PERFECT FOR FEMALE FRIDAY, EVERY FEMALE ARTIST HAS BORROWED FROM THIS MOTOWN LEGEND WHETHER THEY ACKNOWLEDGE IT OR NOT.

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.

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."

Loved her a lot more in the 60's and 70's. Diana Ross and the Supremes........ She is a straight Legend all around.

If you want the best of her check out the Supreme's.

I hope you can get to Carole King one of these Female Fridays. Anything from the Tapestry album but I'd start with Natural Woman and So Far Away. She's an amazing artist with a huge wonderful catalog.⚘
