Diana Ross is an American singer, songwriter, actress, and record producer. Ross is best known as the lead singer of the popular 1960s singing group The Supremes. She achieved international stardom, first as leader of the vocal group the Supremes and later as a solo artist.

While attending Cass Technical High School, a four-year college preparatory magnet school, in downtown Detroit, Ross began taking classes including clothing design, millinery, pattern making, and tailoring, as she had aspired to become a fashion designer. Ross also took modeling and cosmetology classes at the school. Ross graduated from Cass Tech in January 1962.

Ross began singing at fifteen in a group with friends Mary Wilson, Florence Ballard, and Barbara Martin as The Primettes, a sister group of a male vocal group called The Primes. In January 1961, Gordy agreed to sign the group on the condition they change their name. Eventually, Janie Bradford approached Florence Ballard, the only group member at the studio at the time, to pick out a new name for the group. Ballard chose “Supremes”. In November 1969, Ross confirmed a split from the Supremes in Billboard. Ross made her final appearance with The Supremes at the Frontier Hotel in Las Vegas, Nevada on January 14, 1970.

In 1968, Ross began to perform as a solo artist on television specials, including The Supremes’ own specials such as TCB and G.I.T. on Broadway, The Dinah Shore Show, and a Bob Hope special, among others. In May 1970, Ross released her eponymous solo debut. In 1971, Diana Ross began working on her first film, Lady Sings the Blues, which was a loosely based biography on singer Billie Holiday. Ross’s role in the film won her Golden Globe Award and Academy Award nominations for Best Actress.
