Diana Ross is probably one of the top two or three greatest artists in Motown history. As a member of the Supremes, Ross and her group blended pop with R&B so well that nowadays both genres feel out of place without one another. When Ross left the Supremes for a solo career she continued her string of number one hits ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough"), reinvented herself as a film actress ("Lady Sings The Blues"), and as a disco diva ("Love Hangover"). Inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Supremes, Ross has influenced everyone from the obvious (Beyoncé) to less obvious (Madonna) to the subliminal (Phil Collins). Remember his "You Can't Hurry Love" cover?
