book report

My granddaughter had to do a report on Diana Ross for Black History month. They were limited on the materials that they could use. He wanted them to read than just to use the internet. She enjoyed the book and found it more interesting when Michael Jackson was mentioned in it. I grew up in that era, and found the book interesting,also. When you are an idol you don't know where and how they got to be where they are. You think it was easy for them.

The Meaning of "SUPREME"

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.

An eneresting, exciting book, of Diana Ross.

I loved the book and all the facts about Diana Ross? It showed me that if you are coming from a not so wealthy background,and you can still make something out of your life when you are odler.

A great book about the best DIVA ever!

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!

Very enjoyable and it kept my attention

I recommend this book to anyone that is interested in Diana Ross. It was very informational and inspirational. Great Book!!!
