Diana Ross

Diana Ross, to me, is the blueprint for the modern pop diva — every superstar who commands a stage in sequins owes her a royalty check. Leading the Supremes to twelve number-one singles out of Detroit was historic on its own, but what I find more impressive is the second act: she walked away from the most successful group of her era and became even bigger alone. The Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award and the Presidential Medal of Freedom only formalize what audiences knew for decades. She was arrested for drunk driving in 2002 and served 48 hours in jail in 2004, and still, behind the glamour I see ferocious discipline; nobody survives sixty years at the top of show business on charm alone.
