Best Bets: Diana Ross: The Music Book Tour

From her early days leading The Supremes to her landmark solo career, she helped shape the sound of popular music, changing the landscape and paving the way for contemporary music. The singer, actress and record producer, born in Detroit on March 26, 1944, won Grammy's Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012, and an Oscar nomination for her star turn in 'Lady Sings the Blues.” Ain't no mountain high enough for this superstar.
