I love everything Diana Ross has recorded, including the RCA Years. She is the greatest and her work speaks for itself.

Berry Gordy is trying to sabotage Diana Ross’ career by over populating the market with unreleased material. Every year they have been doing this. Remember Berry Gordy swore that when she was at RCA he would release material in the vault to compete with her new releases? Anytime this poor woman is trying to get an album of new material they hit us with LOST MUSIC. What an asshole!

I don't think anyone is willing to sign her. She proved with I Love You what the records companies anticipated - her days of selling records plateaued in 1980. Her concerts indicate a downward trend in popularity and a deteriorating voice.

Let's just face it. Diana Ross solo career was roughly between 1970-80. After that it's been a slow roll down hill. She should have never left the Supremes. I remember that Berry Gordy became apprehensive over Ross going solo that he had made back up plans to place her back in the group if things did not work out for her as a solo artist. What he did not anticipate was the Supremes refusal to allow her back into the group! This is something that is never discussed on these boards.
Diana's career really only last 10 years as high charting artist. What she has been doing over the last 35 years is struggling to try to recapture her so called glory years. Now I believe she is just trying to survive and be remembered.

Now I believe she is just trying to survive and be remembered. I didn't know that. I know he tore bills in half for her first concert. You could get the second half if you went to the show. Hmmm...I wonder why he was apprehensive. Brandy appeared with Ross in the telemovie Double Platinum. The world wide sales of Brandy's 1998 second album Never Say Never exceeded the total US album sales of Ross' 27 or so albums released over 46 years. Never Say Never sold 16 million.

I never found her pretty...my god, in"The Wiz", she looks like a skinny starving child who cut her hair with cheap clippers due to lice. Please!

Berry Gordy may be many things, but he is not stupid! He knew that the public was not clamoring for Diana Ross to go solo. That was Diana's and later his ambition! The public knew who Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson were even though Ross' fan's have relentlessly tried to convince people otherwise. Berry knew that Diana was not a strong enough artist to sustain a solo career without a LOT of help from him and Motown. She nearly sank right off the bat, which is why he tore up the money and offered have it people on the street if they would attend her initial solo concerts.
He had to damage the confidence of both Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson by telling Flo that she was fat and making the off the cuff remark to Mary that she could not sing! These were tactics used to get the other girls to stop fighting his plans for "Miss Ross"!

This is mainly for Jobeterob the chief liar in attempting to present Diana Ross as a best selling artist. Diana Ross has never had a 2 or 3 million selling album EVER! She is NOT in the same league as Stevie Wonder, Lionel Richie or Michael Jackson. It's been made clear to me many times here that a whole host of artists have outsold her many times over! She is a manufactured star by Motown and Berry Gordy! She is a huge money loser when it comes to recordings. The public never bought her music in the volumes you like to constantly lie about! You should be ashamed of yourself!

His argument is laughable.
