Who is Diana Ross?
Diana Ross is the second of six children of Fred Ross, a soldier, and Ernestine Ross, a schoolteacher. She was born in Detroit, Michigan, on March 26, 1944. Ross began singing as a teenager in the group The Primettes with her friends.
They became the booming 1960s R&B and pop group, The Supremes. In 1961, the group got signed to Motown Records. They bagged their first number one hit in 1964 with ‘Where Did Our Love Go?’ With four other chart-topping singles, ‘Stop! In the Name of Love,’ ‘Come See About Me,’ ‘Back in My Arms Again,’ and ‘Baby Love,’ they became the first American group ever to have five consecutive number one songs.
With several more hits, the group became the U.S. group with the most Billboard chart-topping singles in history. Ross embarked on a solo career in 1969 and continued to be a mainstay in the music scene, releasing many hit singles and albums.
She ventured into acting in 1972, featuring in the biopic “Lady Sings the Blues,” which earned her an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress. She then starred in other films.
Ross released the platinum-selling album “Diana” in 1980, featuring the number one hit ‘Upside Down.’ Her 1981 duet with Lionel Richie, ‘Endless Love,’ was also a number one hit. Albums dropped by Ross in the new millennium include “Blue” in 2006 and “I Love You” in 2007.
Diana Ross has been married twice, and has five children. In 1965, she started a relationship with Motown chief Berry Gordy. It lasted several years, and she gave birth to their child, Rhonda Suzanne Silberstein, in 1971.
Two months into her pregnancy with Rhonda, she married music executive Robert Ellis Silberstein, who raised Rhonda as his own daughter. Ross told Rhonda that Gordy was her biological father when she was 13 years old.
Diana also has two daughters with Silberstein: Tracee Joy and Chudney Lane Silberstein, born in 1972 and 1975, respectively. She and Silberstein divorced in 1977. She dated Kiss singer Gene Simmons, from 1980 to 1983, but they split after she thought he had resumed his relationship with Cher.
Diana met her second husband, Norwegian shipping magnate Arne Næss Jr, in 1985, and married him the next year. She became stepmother to his three children; Katinka, Christoffer, and folk singer Leona Naess.
