An ambitious young woman with mediocre talent managed to not only be part of, but lead the ground breaking Supremes, one of the greatest R&B groups in history. People found her difficult, others admired her tenacity. An inspiring read, and a cautionary tale. There's no such thing as fame without cost. Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya
Distincions
She was Motown's brightest star, the one with guts enough and ambition enough to make her dreams come true, no matter where they took her. Rules that apply to others have never applied to Diana Ross. She won't let them. CALL HER MISS ROSS goes behind the footlights and stage facade, behind the broad smile and beautiful voice, for an exclusive look at the real Diana. J. Randy Taraborrelli has interviewed over 400 people and uncovered stories that have never been told before. The ultimate control maven, she became the star of The Supremes without giving Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard a second throught, but also gave them both money when they ended up broke; self-centered, she dated newlywed Smokey Robinson on the sly in order to get more work at Motown; fiercely devoted mother of five, she gives her children anything they desire; impossible employer, she insists that everyone call her "Miss Ross"; insecure star, she demands complete control over every record, every movie, and every performance, no matter what the result. Her triumphs and tragedies, her virtues and vices, her lovers and enemies -- here's Miss Diana Ross as she's never been seen before. "Enjoyable . . . [A] marathon bitchfest." -- The Village Voice No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |

Many people found her trying; others admired her persistence: a moving read and an admonitory tale. Once again, the reader learns there's no such thing as fame and celebrity without cost. ( )
