Famous In Michigan: Diana Ross
Whether or not you like her music, really you don’t get much more famous than Diana Ross. And she too is from Michigan. Born and raised in Detroit, Diana Ross was amongst the earliest pioneers of the soul scene in Motown while leading the group The Supremes; of course she enjoyed a great deal of success with her own solo career, which she launched in 1970. And it is in fact still going to this day.
To date she has recorded nearly 60 studio albums, and was named “Female Entertainer of the Century” by Billboard Magazine. To back it up, Diana 18 number one singles in the U.S. – a Guinness record.
