Diana Ross (born on March 26, 1944) is an American singer and actress, whose musical repertoire spans R&B, soul, disco, and pop. She first gained prominence as lead the 1960s girl group The Supremes, before establishing a successful solo career in the 1970s. During the 1970s and 1980s, she became one of the most successful female artists of the rock era, also crossing over to do work in film, television and Broadway. Over the course of her career, she has been awarded a Tony Award, and has also been nominated for two Grammy Awards and an Academy Award as well. In 1976, Billboard magazine named her the female entertainer of the century. The Guinness Book of World Records declared Diana Ross as the most successful female music artist of the 20th century with a record eighteen American number-one singles; six of them recorded solo and the remaining dozen from her work with the Supremes.  In 2005, she returned to the charts with a pair of duets. "I Got a Crush on You" was recorded with Rod Stewart for his album The Great American Songbook, and reached number nineteen on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary chart. Another duet, recorded with Westlife, was a remake of her 1991 number-two UK single, "When You Tell Me You Love Me", and reached number-two in the UK just as the original had. In 2006, Motown released a shelved Ross album titled Blue, which was a collection of jazz standards recorded after she filmed Lady Sings the Blues. Released in June to stellar reviews, Blue peaked at number-two on the jazz albums chart. In August, it was announced that she would release a new studio album of classic rock and soul standards on the EMI label Angel Records. The album, titled I Love You, was released on October 2 around the world, and then saw release in North America on January 16, 2007, on the Manhattan Records/EMI label. The new album proved to be a comeback of sorts, achieving Hot Shot Debut status on the Billboard 200 by debuting at no. 32, and giving Diana her first Top 40 album on that chart since Swept Away, over two decades earlier. As of March 2007, "I Love You" has sold 31,000 copies.  In January 2007, she appeared on a number of TV shows across the U.S. to promote her new album and began touring in the spring. She also appeared on American Idol as a mentor to the contestants.  See Diana Ross LIVE!  Purchase your Diana Ross Tickets today!
