| Diana Ross became a household name in the '60s as the lead singer of the Supremes, the group that turned out classic hits like "Stop! In The Name Of Love," "You Can't Hurry Love" and "You Keep Me Hanging On." She launched her solo career in 1970, and hit the top of the pop and R&B charts with "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Love Hangover," "Upside Down," and "Endless Love." |

Diane Ernestine Earle Ross (misspelled Diana on her birth certificate, which she later adopted) was born on March 26, 1944 in Detroit, Michigan. She teamed up with three high school friends to form the Primettes in 1959, and the group did their first recording for the Lupine music label in 1960, then signed with Motown Records later that same year.
In 1961, they changed their name to the Supremes and were reduced to a trio, consisting of Diana Ross, Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. Their first few singles flopped, but by the summer of '64 the Holland-Dozier-Holland production team had assumed creative control of the Supremes and were propelling them to international stardom.
Beginning with "Where Did Our Love Go," Diana and the Supremes scored hit after solid hit through the remainder of the '60s. Twelve of their singles went on to top the Billboard pop charts, while seven of those also hit No. 1 on the R&B charts, including "Baby Love," "Stop! In The Name Of Love," "You Can't Hurry Love," "You Keep Me Hangin' On," and "Love Is Here & Now You're Gone."
By the summer of 1967, much of the public's attention was focused on the lead singer, prompting Motown to begin crediting the group as Diana Ross & the Supremes. Two years later, Diana recorded her final track with the Supremes, "Someday We'll Be Together." By 1970 she had embarked on a solo career, which saw a strong start with the release of "Ain't No Mountain High Enough." This song earned Diana her first Grammy nomination as a soloist. |
