Diana Ross was the first modern pop diva, a benchmark of haughty elegance that laid the path for Whitney, Mariah and Christina. Her front-and-center attitude could be trying; she constantly overshadowed fellow Supremes Flo Ballard and Mary Wilson and demanded top billing in the trio's final years. Still, you couldn't argue with the results (twelve No. 1 singles) or with her voice; her role as one of soul's finest singers has rarely been questioned. Her solo career yielded more hits, duets with Marvin Gaye and Lionel Richie, and a few movie roles. Ross comes to town with her More Today Than Yesterday tour, which promises an overview of her 50-year career as well as extravagant costume changes and stage sets.

I applaud you on your opening statement declaring Diana as the premiere pop crossover diva of the modern era. She has been the defining source of pure entertainment since her galvanizing lead of the most successful female group of all time, The Supremes. Now a half century into her career, she continues to leave audiences enthused and dazzled!

Your claim that Ross demanded top billing in the Supremes has no truth to it. Berry Gordy changed the name of the Supremes to Diana Ross and the Supremes along with every other group on the label. Ross gets such a bad rap from people making up unflattering events and attributing it to her. She is actually a sweet person.
