Diana Ross was born March 26, 1944 in Detroit, Michigan, and was the lead singer of the Supremes.
The Supremes joined Motown in 1961 under the name chosen by Florence Ballard, after the group first formed as the Primettes.
The Supremes became Motown's most successful act in the 1960s and one of the best-selling girl groups of all time.

The Supremes' members included Diana Ross, Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, and later Cindy Birdsong.
Ross left the Supremes in 1970 and began a solo career.

The Supremes remain the best-charting female group in history, with 12 number-one pop singles on the Billboard Hot 100.
Ross's solo career produced six Billboard Hot 100 number-one singles, including "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Endless Love".
Ross starred in Lady Sings the Blues (1972), earning Golden Globe and Academy Award nominations, and later starred in Mahogany and The Wiz.
Ross has sold over 100 million records worldwide as a solo artist.
Ross was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1988 as a member of the Supremes and received the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016.
