There is only one Diana Ross. And this is her story.
Drawn from hundreds of interviews conducted over four
decades and featuring rare, never-before-published photos,
Diana Ross paints an unforgettable picture of an
extraordinary and often controversial legend, a woman who
has distinguished herself as a Civil Rights trailblazer, a
temperamental celebrity (yes, you should call her “Miss
Ross”), a loving and very present mother, and a consummate
entertainer. Beautiful and fascinating, she is her own
invention—the definition of a superstar.
Illuminated by unparalleled access, J. Randy Taraborrelli’s
insightful portrait surpasses previous biographies of Miss
Ross. First-time revelations abound, from the tough
decisions Diana made while having Barry Gordy’s baby to her
run-in with the police at Heathrow Airport to her
triumphant recovery after a surprising drunk driving
arrest. Taraborrelli also explains in vivid detail the real
reasons behind the break up of the Supremes and relates the
exclusive facts behind her complex romance with the founder
of Motown. Delving deep into her personal history,
Taraborrelli boldly explores Diana’s troubled relationship
with her family and the heartbreak she feels compelled to
hide, bringing into focus a celebrated personality too
often obscured by the bright lights of fame.
Despite years in the limelight, Diana Ross remains an
enigmatic figure—a compelling paradox of vulnerability and
iron will, fragility and strength. J. Randy Taraborrelli
examines her private world to reveal a complex, inspiring,
triumphant survivor in unprecedented clarity. Ladies and
gentlemen, the incomparable, the one and only Diana Ross.
