She acknowledged her faults and said she was trying to do be a kinder, better person. As a black women, she had to be this way in order to get the respect she eventually earned. People in general say the same thing about Streisand. Much respected to the Boss.
It funny because at the end of the day, its Diana signing those checks.. If she wants her microphone turned up and the audio person isn't doing it, Diana has ever right to get annoyed, isn't she paying their salary? If her assistant/secretary is constantly late, Diana is allowed to get upset.. She is human too..
Gosh in 1978 after all of that height of success she lived SOUTH of Sunset Boulevard in Beverly Hills! That’s amazing! Here in LA everyone knows that the houses south of Sunset are much smaller and they have much smaller plots of land And are much more accessible from the street and visible, whereas the ones just on the other side of Sunset, going all the way up the hill are much larger and have larger plots of land and are much more secluded and so that’s where the big stars live, even ones lower down the totem pole than someone like Diana Ross in 1978.
She's so Grateful to us fans for supporting her and loving her for her Music and what we give her. Most of all, she is most Grateful to God. She lets you know that. She tells us all the time how she appreciates us. Now that is a beautiful Spirit.
How can you not love this lady she is so unpretentious beautiful glamorous whirly yet vulnerable almost childlike and hadn't truly found herself yet I love her here. gosh if Flo could have had it in her the drive motown's backing and shine this world would have been even better I believe.
She, Donna Summer and The Three Degrees are the trifecta (for me) from the 1960s and 1970s that show the complexities of women who look like me. That yes, there is a feminine layer there. I would add Amii Stewart to that list as well! Unfortunately today, the imagery is completely hijacked!
Diana should've been on the cover of Vogue at least a few times. Also, her house looked amazing and I'm loving that giant face on the wall sculpture at 1:38. Thanks for this upload and the channel is awesome.
I’m from Detroit love Diana Ross! I hear she still owns her Detroit home that Motown Records helped her get in the beginning of her career. I think all 3 of the Supremes had houses on the same block.
It's weird how I am now in Diana Ross and The Supremes zone! I hope that does not mean that she is about to check out! Usually when I go there with someone famous, they end up going soon after.
@@AlkalineInsides I guess because I was reading Martha Reeves, Mary Wilson and Otis Williams books. They have events that cross each other - and they all say the same things about Diana Ross. Then I saw Patty Labelle and Gladys Knight say similar things as well. When people inside and outside of her group say the same things and she was affecting them in the same ways by many of the same actions, then there HAS to be something to it! So because of the books, they mentioned backstories to some footage, TV show appearances, songs and other events that I like to check out on my own to get a fuller picture, just led me to review some things that I had seen but was unaware of the background concerning them. I guess you can say that I am X. So I grew up with Ross as a solo. She also lives a few towns away from me...
You funny...even berry gordon had to apologise to her publicly on an award show...what he did to her...sorry, your comment isn't working...say something else...nobody cares...she is worth 300 million dollars of networth....just move
She was not from the Brewster Projects like Flo and Mary. She lived iin a house across the street down the road a piece with her parents. Saying she was from the Brewster Projects as well makes it more a rags-to-riches story.
Yeah she knew it was coming. I believe she was very hurt by Flo's death. Alot of people blamed her and Gordy as part of the reason. I imagine that would hurt anyone alone....on top of losing a friend who was young. I think it changed her for the better. I love how candid she was here. No bs she was honest but sweet which is refreshing
@Omaida Reyes: What? When she met the Jackson brotbers in 1969, as their "sponsor," she was 25 and he was 11! Where does nonsensical comments like this come from?
Omaida Reyes its Marry not Mary and it wasn't meant for them to marry why M.J. fans keep saying they should have married that was yall fantasies not Diana Ross M.J. loved Diana Ross and she loved M.J. as an friend nothing more Diana Ross second Husband was the love of her life the two boys they share together end of story
@@freddie3206 Really? That is why they found 90 girlie magazines in his house when they searched it. Playboy, Penthouse and Hustler and others. There were about 1800 pictures of nude women from these magazines. He liked looking at nude pictures of beautiful women. I have known many gay men because of my profession. I can assure you that you would never find so many girlie magazines in a gay man's house.
Gosh I don’t remember hearing that. He often talked about women who were and were not respectable and made an issue about that and yet he had those magazines, including Hustler.
We’ll I guess she hadn’t dated Michael by this point after all. And she didn’t think he was someone exciting. She really seemed like she wasn’t lying. She seemed totally truthful about that. So if they had been involved it must have just been sexual and maybe just a one night thing. It must have been difficult for him to watch her say that.
I love that she speaks of her older sister, the legendary Dr Barbara Ross Lee. She is a phenomenal woman in her own right. Great stock!
Gosh her voice is so soft and feminine. She has a fierceness coated in velvet.
She acknowledged her faults and said she was trying to do be a kinder, better person. As a black women, she had to be this way in order to get the respect she eventually earned. People in general say the same thing about Streisand. Much respected to the Boss.
Agree 100%!

I was just watching the Florence Ballard documentary. These ladies set the standard for pop music in my opinion.
She is so beautiful, and her voice is just so pleasing to hear.
Her house looks so good even by Today's standards
It definitely was a beautiful house!!
Good style never goes out of taste! 😉
Unfortunately the person who she sold it to tore it down and started from scratch, rebuilt (701 N. Maple Dr, Beverly Hills, CA, USA )

I wonder if this was the house where Berry Gordy bred her with the illegitimate baby? 🤔 Or was Rhonda already born?

The camera just loves her! Gorgeous and graceful then an now,
What a tremendous star!
A super lady, the most beautiful eyes I've ever seen
In 1964, - I was 12...and Diana was MY DREAM Girl....Fantasy! Still...LOVE her.
So MJ was not alone... :)
In 1965 I saw her on TV for the first time. I was a 12 white boy and fell totally in love with her.

Love her voice! Barbara Walters asks such good questions. Meaningful questions. I hate those fluff questions that current interviewers ask.
She sings like an angel, listen to someday we will be together and witness her amazing skill
I love Diana Ross and she is such a beautiful women. ❤️🤩
Diana was such a deep and honest person.
Diana Ross! Super star ☆ ;)
I love the transparency.
I got to be on stage with her when I was kid
Lucky
That house looks gorgeous to live in, today. Look at that decor.

So Beautiful😍
I can only wish 34 yr old "pop" stars can sound and think like this
Beyonce and Kelly Rowland are quite serene and Kelly is a phenomenal speaker..
How about letting them live their own lives?
I love Diana's outfit 😍 💕 ❤
She's 34 years old here. Ahh, the beloved 70s
Brilliant lady
Those sexy eyes.
She’s a Scorpio rising just like Janet Jackson. Scorpio risings gotta sexy ass eyes. Eyes be sparkly asf 🥵🥵🥵

Life is a classroom.

She does not still own that house

Diana lying about Florence. She didn’t quit, she was fired
Why was she fired?
LET IT GO!!!!!! MOVE ON

@@mahoganyflame2000 Florence was fighting with Diana because she (Flo) wanted to be the lead singer. That wasn't going to happen so Flo got the axe.
She was not from the Brewster Projects like Flo and Mary. She lived iin a house across the street down the road a piece with her parents. Saying she was from the Brewster Projects as well makes it more a rags-to-riches story.
I have tried, but I have never been able to vibe with Diane Ross. Lol, I'm pretty sure she doesn't lose any sleep over it though!! Neither do I!!
it's Diana Ross and what was your point again?
@@migrain45 amen
You are correct on one thing..She wll not lose one wink of sleep.
You are correct,not one wink of sleep is missed.
You have to be chosen in order to do so
Jesus how she spoke about Florence 😂
She seemed uncomfortable with the question which is why she laughed. I’m sure it bothered her

@@MsTrueTy Did you watch the same interview as I did?
When I was younger I always thought Diana Ross and Michael Jackson were brother and sister.
They are cousins, I believe.
@@faithe54 No they're not. It's MJ and Stevie Wonder who are cousins
@@AngeBiampandou Thanks for the clarification. I listened to them all on the soundtrack of my childhood. All three had unique talents.
@@faithe54 You are welcome
I am under the impression that Barbara Walters is always green with envy. she is always jealous of someone else`s success.
Why didn't U Mary Michael Jackson?

@3:52, Diana Ross says "I did a little research on CZcams ...", but youtube didn't exist in 1978!!
Lol.. I thought that was what she said too. But she said, " I did a lot of research on you too"
Terry Adams she said i did an research on you too she did say youtube
Terry Adams diana knows youtube wasn't out than
Diana Ross invented You Tube

Michael was not the kind of MAN she desired. He was too boyish. She was his celeb crush and that was it.
jacko was using diana pretending to want to marry her to hide his gayness.
Stfu. ......
😂😂 and that's fine. You were ruined back then if you were gay. So a lot of folks had to hide❤
@@devondastover6740 yeah but don’t lie to people and waste people time
Michael Jackson was definitely not gay. He was a whole man that loved women.
@@adbc1f72 Oh! my God, you are kidding right???????
