I Don't Like To Have Too Many

My Name, Diana Ross, Is My Name And Nobody Should Be Able To Use That For Exploitative Purposes But Me.

The First Time I Heard A Billie Holiday Record, I Thought, 'what's So Great About Billie Holiday?'

You Can Always Tell Where Diana Ross Has Been By The Hair That's Left Behind!

I'm From A Singing Family, But They're Not Professional Singers, Only Gospel - My Grandfather Was A Minister. I Started To Sing The Music That Was Out Then Because My Mother Used To Play It All The Time. It Was The End Of The '50s, The Beginning Of The '60s. There Was Frankie Lyman And The Teenagers, Etta James... We Used To Sit Outside On The Stoop And Sing. We Even Used To Put Our Radios And Record Players Outside.

So Every Time I Make A New Circuit, A New Time Around, Then I Change The Show. You Can't Change The Songs; People Still Want To Hear "lady Sings The Blues" And They Still Want To Hear Some Of The Oldies.
