From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diana Ross (born March 26, 1944) is an American singer, actress, and record producer. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Ross rose to fame as the lead singer of the vocal group the Supremes, which, during the 1960s, became Motown's most successful act, and are the best charting female group in US history, as well as one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. The group released a record-setting twelve number-one hit singles on the US Billboard Hot 100, including "Where Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love", "Come See About Me", "Stop! In the Name of Love", "You Can't Hurry Love", "You Keep Me Hangin' On", "Love Child", and "Someday We'll Be Together". Following her departure from the Supremes in 1970, Ross released her eponymous debut solo album that same year, featuring the number-one Pop hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough". She later released the album Touch Me in the Morning in 1973; its title track reached number 1, as her second solo No. 1 hit. She continued a successful solo career through the 1970s, which included hit albums like Mahogany and Diana Ross and their number-one hit singles, "Theme from Mahogany" and "Love Hangover", respectively. Her 1980 album Diana produced another number-one single, "Upside Down", as well as the international hit "I'm Coming Out". Ross' final single with Motown during her initial run with the company achieved her sixth and final US number-one Pop hit, the duet "Endless Love" featuring Lionel Richie, whose solo career was launched with its success. Ross has also ventured into acting, with a Golden Globe Award and Academy Award–nominated performance for her performance in the film Lady Sings the Blues (1972); she recorded its soundtrack, which became a number-one hit. She also starred in two other feature films, Mahogany (1975) and The Wiz (1978), later acting in the television films Out of Darkness (1994), for which she also was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and Double Platinum (1999). Ross was named the "Female Entertainer of the Century" by Billboard magazine. In 1993, the Guinness Book of World Records declared Ross the most successful female music artist in history, due to her success in the United States and United Kingdom for having more hits than any female artist in the charts, with a career total of 70 hit singles with her work with the Supremes and as a solo artist. In 1988, Ross was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as member of the Supremes, alongside Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. She was the recipient of the Kennedy Center Honors in 2007, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016. She is a 12-time Grammy nominee, never earning a competitive honor, but later became the recipient of the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012. In December 2016, Billboard magazine named her the 50th most successful dance artist of all time. In Billboard magazine's Greatest of All Time Hot 100 Artists chart, she ranked 16th as the lead singer of the Supremes and 26th as a solo artist. In December 2018, Diana Ross consolidated her status as a dance diva by ranking #3 in the Billboard Dance Club Songs Artists year-end chart.

Diana Ross, née le 26 mars 1944 à Détroit (Michigan), est une chanteuse, compositrice et actrice américaine. Diana Ross devient célèbre au début des années 1960 comme chanteuse principale du groupe The Supremes. Figure mythique du label Motown créé par Berry Gordy, The Supremes devient un des groupes féminins les plus populaires de l'histoire des États-Unis. Le groupe classe douze titres en tête des charts américains: Where Did Our Love Go, Baby Love, Come See About Me, Stop! In the Name of Love, Back in My Arms Again, I Hear a Symphony, You Can't Hurry Love, You Keep Me Hangin' On, Love is Here and Now You're Gone, The Happening, Love Child, et Someday We'll Be Together. Après son départ des Supremes en 1970, Ross sort son premier album et le tube Ain't No Mountain High Enough. Elle devient une artiste solo de premier rang dans les années 1970 et enchaîne albums et singles à succès. Les années 1980 la consacrent définitivement comme star internationale avec les titres Upside Down, I'm Coming Out et son duo Endless Love avec Lionel Richie. Diana Ross fait par ailleurs une apparition remarquée dans l'industrie cinématographique en incarnant la chanteuse Billie Holliday dans Lady Sings the Blues (1972). Le film lui permet de décrocher un Golden Globe et une nomination aux Oscars. En 1976, elle remporte un César d'honneur en compagnie d'Ingrid Bergman. Diana Ross est la seule chanteuse à avoir été numéro un en solo, en duo (pour Endless Love avec Lionel Richie), en trio (avec les Supremes) et en collectif (avec USA for Africa pour We Are the World). En 1976, elle est nommée «Artiste féminine du siècle» par le magazine Billboard. En 1988, Diana Ross est intronisée au Rock and Roll Hall of Fame avec les Supremes, aux côtés de Mary Wilson et Florence Ballard. En 1993, le Livre Guinness des records la consacre plus grande artiste féminine de l'histoire de la musique. Elle est ensuite honorée par le Kennedy Center en 2007, et par un Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award en 2012. En 2016, le président Barack Obama lui remet la Médaille présidentielle de la liberté. Elle est aujourd’hui considérée comme une des artistes majeures de la musique aux États-Unis et, plus largement, comme une des chanteuses afro-américaines les plus influentes du XXe siècle avec Aretha Franklin et Tina Turner. Son influence sur la musique est immense, notamment sur la musique soul des années 1960, sur le disco des années 1970 et sur le R&B des années 1980. Diana Ross a par ailleurs grandement contribué à la visibilité des personnalités noires et devient, dès ses débuts, non seulement un sex symbol mais l'incarnation d'une certaine idée de la beauté noire et de l'élégance. Figure de proue de la fierté de la communauté afro-américaine, Oprah Winfrey et Beyoncé, entre autres, citent Diana Ross comme influence majeure. Diana Ernestine Earle Ross est la fille de James, un ouvrier d'usine, et d'Ernestine Earle Ross. Elle suit ses études secondaires à la Cass Technical High School, établissement qui fut ravagé par un incendie en 2007 et partiellement démoli. ...
