A strong independent person who took matters into her own hands. She needed to survive in a world that eats you up and spits you go. She is my favorite singer.
She sounds like a person, at the time, about to turn 50 and a mother of 5. A person clear on her priorities. Obviously detached from her starting out as a teenager at Motown, Berry Gordy or a member of the Supremes, as that was a longtime ago, so she can only express it like a "memory". Almost like something you lived in another lifetime, because it's not something she is living now. She is a class-act. I've been in her company a few times and she's always been charming and approachable.
Breathtakingly beautiful here, the guarded nature mentioned by several posters is to be expected. Diana deserves her privacy, she like a lot of other performers need to hold somethings back in their every day life, especially when u give soo much on stage.
Their is something so beautiful about her. To where when you're watching her you just can't take your eye's off of her. Just class personified and so elegant as well...The Boss Mrs Ross!!
Beyond the joy of hearing first hearing and seeing her in The Supremes, Diana has been an inspiration to me and my life. I am so inspired by her. Don’t look left, don’t look right and definitely don’t look back......go for your dreams!!!!
Diana seems like someone who has been guarded because she made some mistakes and people won't let her live them down. No matter what, none of us were there when those things happened. And this interviewer wasn't terrible, but he seems to be really invasive with the Berry Gordy stuff. Everything has been said and I don't think there's more than we already know. It seems pretty cut and dry. People can't expect her to be so open when they won't let her live down her past. Very rarely do people criticize Berry for his role in everything.
It's such a pleasure to see Diana Ross in such a candid light. So inspirational. This book was great. I still have my autographed copy in my closet. Diana Ross is the best!
