American singer and actress Diana Ross is undoubtedly a music legend. You’d have to be living under a rock to not have heard one of her songs, especially the infamous “I’m Coming Out” (1980).
Ross first rose to fame as the lead singer of The Supremes, one of Motown’s most popular acts during the1960s.
The band quickly became one of America’s most successful vocal groups, and achieved 12 hit singles on Billboard magazine’s Hot 100 list.
Even to this day, The Supremes remain one of the world’s bestselling female vocalist groups, and their tracks, including “You Can’t Hurry Love” and ‘Baby Love” have become cultural classics.
