5.0 out of 5 stars A great book about the best DIVA ever!, February 13, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Diana Ross (Black Amer) (Black Americans of Achievement) (Library Binding)

There was a time that J. Randy was a freind of the diva Miss Ross. I guess he was her Linda Tripp! Since she did find out that he was writing a book about her,without telling her, I think confidences shared would be expected to be kept silent. After all, he was the president of the Supremes fan club, and had access to Diana, THE GIRLS, and the people at Motown.I think a more balanced account of her life and the MYTHS surrounding her is to be found in a chapter of a new book called "DIVAS". Anyone interested in anather slant on The Supremes and Diana should read "ALL THAT GLITTERS". Iam a big fan-I try to be objective, but Diana has gotten a bad rap, especially since 1985. Get the "DIVAS" book for a really more balanced viewpoint of the star and the myths surrounding her life. The music still stands!

This review is from: Diana Ross (Black Americans of Achievement) (Paperback)

When the name Diana Ross comes up it is so much more than SUPREME. It shows what talent, hard work and great work ethic can make happen. I am sick and tired of people using Diana Ross as punching bag or a joke when she has opened doors for just about every female singer (of all colors) and it is LONG overdue that credit is given where credit is due. also check out the great new book "It took a life time to get here" that was written by Tom Adrahatas.
