Happy 80th birthday today Miss Ross I came to watch this I believe you had been 45 yrs young time flies but, your more beautiful than ever . Continued Blessings 🙏🏻💜🙏🏻
I saw this interview when it first aired and can't thank Diana Ross enough showing her interllectual side as well as her fun side and s little business. Acumen, full of class, style, finesse ,sense of humor ,and down to earth sense of self just love this woman
I love Diana Ross. She was and still is an elegant woman and she will always be the original pop queen in my eyes. She put Babara in her place in this interview when she tried to make Diana Ross look less relevant than what she is. Even if she was not as succesful in the late 1980´s as she was before she was already a legend here and when you have had much succes for many years it does not matter that much if your albums dont sell that well or you dont get much airplay. Diana did establish herself as a pop queen and a diva early in her career and she has been that way since she was young and she is still in the media today and people respect her very much now. :)
Most of the money usually comes from concerts and merchandising, endorsements, publishing rights. Records just provide great advertising. Ask Madonna. One concert tour can bring her $250milion
When you interview these new singer rappers or whatever you want to call them, they can’t even tell you a complete sentence Or have a intellectual conversation with anyone.
Thank you for posting this interview. It was very upbeat, honest, and revealing. Barbara knows how to get answers, and is not shy about asking the sensitive questions. And, Diana, after having to babies in a little over a year, looks AMAZING! It was truly a positive in her life then. Unlike the comment I read below, I loved the Working Overtime album. I still do.
Many times when there is a singing group. One person is going to stand out. Looks, voice quality, etc. Dianna Ross is these qualities. Looks, class and voice quality.
I do not know Diana personally, but I do like her for her talent and for the person she has shown herself to be. What woman, in this day and age, can raise ONE child, let alone FIVE, successfully? Five children who love their mother so very much and protect her as they do? How can anyone be such a fake and fraud in public, and not be the same at home? I absolutely despise people who make disparaging comments about others when they have no real knowledge to prove what they say. Go away Yosraz15.
From a teenager I always admired Diana and she is very intelligent not only beautiful and I admire the fact that she wanted children and she is sticking to her commitment and her career and she is blessed I love it I love it I love it.
A good mother to me is one that prioritizes: quality time spent with her children; separating the work time/mode from family time/giving of her total mind and being available to her children when she is present! That mother, like many mothers is definitely Diana Ross; I have heard her say this many times in interviews and her children have said the same! They never felt slighted or had to compete for her time! It’s all about quality, not quantity, priorities and balance! You can tell that she took care of herself, so that she could take care of her children! So many mothers forget this! I respect her so much!❤️❤️
I went to see Miss Diana Ross at Deanza College in California. I was so fotunate to sit in her presence in the 7th row center. I brought a Woman of color that was just fired from her job of which she did not deserve... I could not turn my back on this Woman. I said, let us go out to a dinner of your choice and see a Mega Star... We left in friendship and kindness but to see Diana Ross, it was jaw dropping for me. When I was a child of maybe 8 or 9, I listened to a broken record player that had no sound, but I would put my ear down to the needle of Diana Ross and the Supremes... I listened to it so much and then the record player was just gone, I do not know where it went? They could have fixed it, but maybe they thought they should not. I do not know what more to say... but maybe 40 years later, I had the privilege to see Miss Diana Ross on Stage front and center. I Thank you... mark...
I love Diana! Among the GREATS such as TINA, Aretha, Gladys, Dolly, Babs....etc etc. We see her influence in Mariah, Janet. Beyonce, and we seen it in Whitney. Diana is great. So glad I had seen her Live, and she was great!
Diana Ross to me looks her best here. Lovely and natural. Ladies we need just a little to look good we' re all beautiful. Its a bad heart that makes one ugly.
Take a good look at that nose also over the years, it was wider than it is now it looks good, slimmer though I don't think she should have been messing with it looks like Ava Gardner's nose
@annettewilliams1891 Oh stfu. She has the same damn nose she was born with, how can you not see that? Her nose has always been skinny, it was never wider than it is. She's one of the FEW female celebrities who's had 0 plastic surgeries, and many black people's skin lightens a few shades as they age, it ain't a choice. I used to be extremely dark and 20 yrs later I'm a medium brown. Not everyone alters the way they look, some people are confident in what they were born with.🙄
@@Danlovar EXACTLY!!!!!! I keep reading these idiotic comments here thinking there was some sort of cat fight during this interview and half these fools have no clue as to the friendship between the 2 women
I love the part when barbara ask DIANA what if the concert don't work my girl Diana Ross being the DIVA that she is said to Barbara NEXT and asking her where the boys be when she goes on tour Diana Ross like i take them with me i love every answer Diana Ross gave her Barbara acting like just cause Diana Ross has kids and a husband that she can't have an career Diana Ross the BOSS
I was born in 1989, I grew up listening to Diana Ross's songs. I remember seeing her on Sesame Street and The Muppet Show, and a lot of her songs are some of my favorites. Seeing her in this, I've noticed that she's got big, beautiful eyes and she's aged rather gracefully.
There’s ONLY ONE MISS Ross!!!!! Nobody before nor since, has done what she did, how she did it! What a LEGEND. And how young she was here, and yet so mature, grounded, and responsible she was at this time in her life. Mother. Business woman. Entrepreneur. And only like 40 something here. ASTOUNDING
This woman is an all time enigma. Ageless, legendary and always re-inventing herself. I salute her. Moreso, I love her because she was very kind to the Late Michael Jackson. So kind that MJ was willing to make her the foster parent of his kids in case MJ's mum was no more available.
@Punkanelly Lovejoy Yep. Gordy is the father of her eldest. That helped her career along. lol Mary may be bitter. But, she may have reason to be. Diana BS her way through that part of the interview. Florence Ballard was totally screwed by Motown and died young & penniless.Sad.
Diana always been a cute girl but the older she gets the better she looks,I'm in love with her big beautiful hair that's obviously her trademark hairstyle.and I love that picture on the wall of her and the daughters,I'm a fan and I love her and she has beautiful kids.
Lol, guys it was Barbaras job to ask tough questions....it was great to see how Diana handled herself. We dont wanna see a totally fluffy interview. We can watch Kelly Ripa and Ellen for that. Barbara asks some tougher questions... She wasn’t disrespectful, just dug a bit deeper. Bravo to them both. Diana is a pro and a Legend.
I really hope...to put across ... much of what Diana's standards and principles are...when I launch out on my Tribute Mimic Shows. I'm taking this all on board - as I 'walk in her shoes' and remember the way to move on up is 'Next' !! XX
Correct! Barbara is being smart when she is pressing her lips together & nodding sarcastically, but unassumingly. Thus, Diana smartly zings her back unassumingly....so if I am a bitch, then so are YOU! In that era being Black & having a massive crossover appeal could get you disliked by some of your own for being not culturally authentic. Conversely, those in the dominant culture have felt as though she was challenging them & their ego. Yet, Diana can handle herself.
Jeeshhh - Walters always looking for dirt ! Its surprising that Diana granted her so many interviews. Well, Diana held control in every interview and was the amazing diva that she is - so that's why. Walters pales and fades in the blinding aura of Miss Ross. Truth prevails and Diana is unbeatable.
😐all WRONG. Miss Ross and Ms Walters worked in CONCERT on this interview. Do your research instead of looking for a cat fight that wasn’t really there. The way this interview went was the way it was supposed to go.. on both sides. And Miss Ross chose BW each time for interviews because they have a genuine FRIENDSHIP.. and she prefers BW as an interviewer
No doubt that she is the epitome of glamour. As talented as she is, as a performer and as a businesswoman, she just never seemed to really reach her full potential. From an artistic standpoint, I was always left thinking that there was just a little bit more to her...that the image was more important to her then the substance of her work.
Diana is a very focused,determined,aggressive women driven by tenacity......She had a dream/desire to be successful solo artist lng before founding the surpremes....when they signed with motown.....Was not long before Diana put her plan in action....Central Park was her pinnnical n once she achieved her goal....she turned her attention to the personal....her career became secondary to a marriage n more children.
Mason Martinez naw, Barbara didn’t walk over people who made her what she is today like Dianna walked on and spit Florence out from a group Florence created
I totally agree with you 100%....on all accounts....And I'm sick of all the negativity on YT towards Diana Ross, written by people who don't even know the person, and base what they "think" they know on what they've read in poorly written rubbish-books. If these people don't like her then they should stay away from her videos!
@Punkanelly LovejoyHmmmm, funny how those women are the ones who never made it as big as Diana. Mare Wilson? That old backing singer? Ha! The only claim to fame she holds is that she was once backing singer to a world famous superstar. Yes, a lot of jealousy there from women who couldn't lace Diana's boots. It's easy for Mare to be jealous because what exactly has she achieved as a solo artist since the days of the supremes? All she has is to hang on to the name of the group (even has to call herself "Mary Wilson OF THE SUPREMES) because without the group name, only a few would have a clue who she once was. "Mare Wilson: The NO-HIT SUPREME!!" Martha? LOL!! Have you heard that old fog-horn grunting and squealing her way around "Dancing In The Streets" and the other couple of hits she had? Scary, but absolutely hilarious!
@Punkanelly Lovejoy Mary was common and cheap enough to fuck anything that would. She admitted herself that she had someone to fuck her in every town she visited. Her vagina must be so big that you can hear her walking towards you from a mile away, with those flaps slapping together. Diana at least chose someone with some power even if he wasn't great looking. Have you seen some of the men Mary screwed? Flip Wilson? HELLLLOO? Must be the ugliest black man i've ever seen. Duke Fakir? JEEEZE!! That's so ugly it insults the privilege of being ugly! OH!! and by the way. I know you're Mary Wilson or maybe even Mark Bighole (Bego)
Barbara does raise an interesting question. Before the marriage to Arne, the hits had slowed down and her career at RCA was a let down. Then the stress of a long distance relationship with Arne being in London and Diana in Connecticut. What happened?
BARBARA WALTERS IS ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED AND INTELLIGENT NEWS WIMEN OF OUR TIME! SHE HAS INTERVIEWED KINGS, QUEENS, HEADS OF STATE, MOVIE STARS , GENERALS ,PRESIDENTS OF EVERY COUNTRY ! SHE HAS INTERVIEWED JUST ABOUT EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO IS ANYBODY!! ALL YOU CAN THING OF IS THE VIEW ????? EITHER YOU ARE VERY ,VERY YOUNG OR YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING UNDER A ROCK ! BARBARA IS THE SUPREME INTERVIEWER ! NUMBER ONE! SHE ALSO BLAZED THE WAY FOR ALL FEMALE INYERVIEWERS THAT CAME BEHIND HER !!!!
I’ve always thought the Central Park concert spoke volumes for her rise at Motown. She’s the epitome of what they were trying to accomplish in their Artists and Development department. Paying the price at any cost…
Also, keep in mind Diana Ross knew that Barbara Walters wouldn't pull any punches with her. They did their first Interview together in 1976 a couple of months after Florence Ballard died. Even then Diana was evasive about Florence's downfall. She also interviewed Berry Gordy, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson but not Smokey Robinson or Marvin Gaye
She is wedded to the spotlight and being the centre of attention. It's her oxygen. Its what drives her. It's what motivated all her relationships. She loves her work. Image is everything to her. She carefully controls it. The reason some people call her a bitch is not because she's strong (which she is) but because in some instances it's true that she's not fair and she doesn't care. She has an "everything's fair in love and war" attitude and some people become casualties of it. She is ruthless and cut throat and won't apologise for her ambition. I guess there are many men who are the same but maybe they are not criticised this way.
globalcitizenn I agree and have heard this said of her before. She doesn't mind stepping on others to get to the top and she knew Claudette would mop the floor with her if she didn't stop meeting with Smokey.
How did she have the energy to do everything, a long career, infighting within the Supremes, several award winning movies, 5 kids and countless shows. She didn't do drugs and she didn't seem to eat or sleep a lot.
Michael doesn’t act or talk like her. Michael and His brothers aside from Tito just so happen to have light voices. Jackie’s pitch is actually higher than Michael’s. Y’all take the her influencing him too far. She influenced his some of his vocal styling and that’s it.
@@animewhisperer1830 Michael doesn’t talk or act like her. He got those instincts from his mother, and his brothers ( aside from Tito) have that same soft spoken cadence. Y’all over exaggerate how much Diana influenced him to try to push that same “he wanted to be Diana” lies. They’re just two blk ppl who happen to be soft spoken and intellectual…doesn’t mean he acted like her. Michael’s mother had those same qualities about her and that’s where he got it from his mother.

"Next" What a great lesson I learned from her... when shi* don't turn out the way you expected.... NEXT!!!!!!! Love it!!!
That was a great lesson that I learned from this interview as well and I use it in my life all of the time...and it mentally works too....🙂
Barbara- why do you think people think you're a bitch ?
Diana-because I'm just like YOU!

Love, love, her. She is the original diva Pop Queen. Strength and beauty. She was a good mother because all of her kids turned out well.

If these people don't like her then they should stay away from her videos!
@Punkanelly LovejoyHmmmm, funny how those women are the ones who never made it as big as Diana. Mare Wilson? That old backing singer? Ha! The only claim to fame she holds is that she was once backing singer to a world famous superstar. Yes, a lot of jealousy there from women who couldn't lace Diana's boots. It's easy for Mare to be jealous because what exactly has she achieved as a solo artist since the days of the supremes? All she has is to hang on to the name of the group (even has to call herself "Mary Wilson OF THE SUPREMES) because without the group name, only a few would have a clue who she once was. "Mare Wilson: The NO-HIT SUPREME!!"
Martha? LOL!! Have you heard that old fog-horn grunting and squealing her way around "Dancing In The Streets" and the other couple of hits she had? Scary, but absolutely hilarious!
@Punkanelly Lovejoy Mary was common and cheap enough to fuck anything that would. She admitted herself that she had someone to fuck her in every town she visited. Her vagina must be so big that you can hear her walking towards you from a mile away, with those flaps slapping together. Diana at least chose someone with some power even if he wasn't great looking. Have you seen some of the men Mary screwed? Flip Wilson? HELLLLOO? Must be the ugliest black man i've ever seen. Duke Fakir? JEEEZE!! That's so ugly it insults the privilege of being ugly!
OH!! and by the way. I know you're Mary Wilson or maybe even Mark Bighole (Bego)
@Herald Orome Yeah of course she is. No one ever said she isn't. So what's your point ?
Best Miss Ross interview of ALL time
The Boss
Rest In Peace legend 🕊️
Barbara does raise an interesting question. Before the marriage to Arne, the hits had slowed down and her career at RCA was a let down. Then the stress of a long distance relationship with Arne being in London and Diana in Connecticut. What happened?
Under Rated Diana vs Over Rated Barbara
You need to look at who Barbara's Father was, Miss Walters was better connected than anyone in Show Business in New York
She's an Old Douchebag, Everyone Cheered when she left the View Barbara Walters is nothing more than a mean Lisping Old Hag.
Barbara is an Old Douchebag, No One is sorry to see her go.
BARBARA WALTERS IS ONE OF THE MOST RESPECTED AND INTELLIGENT NEWS WIMEN OF OUR TIME! SHE HAS INTERVIEWED KINGS, QUEENS, HEADS OF STATE, MOVIE STARS , GENERALS ,PRESIDENTS OF EVERY COUNTRY ! SHE HAS INTERVIEWED JUST ABOUT EVERYONE AND ANYONE WHO IS ANYBODY!! ALL YOU CAN THING OF IS THE VIEW ????? EITHER YOU ARE VERY ,VERY YOUNG OR YOU'VE BEEN SLEEPING UNDER A ROCK ! BARBARA IS THE SUPREME INTERVIEWER ! NUMBER ONE! SHE ALSO BLAZED THE WAY FOR ALL FEMALE INYERVIEWERS THAT CAME BEHIND HER !!!!
Опбаяние, ангельский голос и женственность как она есть. 😍🤩❤️❤️🌟🙏
I’ve always thought the Central Park concert spoke volumes for her rise at Motown. She’s the epitome of what they were trying to accomplish in their Artists and Development department. Paying the price at any cost…
She looks so pretty with her hair like that.
Also, keep in mind Diana Ross knew that Barbara Walters wouldn't pull any punches with her. They did their first Interview together in 1976 a couple of months after Florence Ballard died. Even then Diana was evasive about Florence's downfall. She also interviewed Berry Gordy, Lionel Richie and Stevie Wonder and Michael Jackson but not Smokey Robinson or Marvin Gaye
This is divine ❤️
I'm forever team Diana Ross
I have loved her all my life. She is everything!!!
Diana Ross can I just tell you how much I love you all of my life
She is wedded to the spotlight and being the centre of attention. It's her oxygen. Its what drives her. It's what motivated all her relationships. She loves her work. Image is everything to her. She carefully controls it. The reason some people call her a bitch is not because she's strong (which she is) but because in some instances it's true that she's not fair and she doesn't care. She has an "everything's fair in love and war" attitude and some people become casualties of it. She is ruthless and cut throat and won't apologise for her ambition. I guess there are many men who are the same but maybe they are not criticised this way.
globalcitizenn I agree and have heard this said of her before. She doesn't mind stepping on others to get to the top and she knew Claudette would mop the floor with her if she didn't stop meeting with Smokey.
How did she have the energy to do everything, a long career, infighting within the Supremes, several award winning movies, 5 kids and countless shows. She didn't do drugs and she didn't seem to eat or sleep a lot.
But in 2000 they canceled her show and weren't going to pay her what she wanted
Diva!

Beautiful diana Ross 💖💖💖
She doesn't have the strongest or best voice but she's a real entertainer.
I love her so much and her voice. #Detroit #Motown
WOW Michael Jackson talks and acts just like her.
Michael doesn’t act or talk like her. Michael and His brothers aside from Tito just so happen to have light voices. Jackie’s pitch is actually higher than Michael’s. Y’all take the her influencing him too far. She influenced his some of his vocal styling and that’s it.
I don’t care what anybody else says, It’s honestly undeniable…
@@animewhisperer1830 Michael doesn’t talk or act like her. He got those instincts from his mother, and his brothers ( aside from Tito) have that same soft spoken cadence. Y’all over exaggerate how much Diana influenced him to try to push that same “he wanted to be Diana” lies. They’re just two blk ppl who happen to be soft spoken and intellectual…doesn’t mean he acted like her. Michael’s mother had those same qualities about her and that’s where he got it from his mother.
Actually your incorrect. This was aired at the time of Dianas album "Workin Overtime" which was released in 1989.
Man, i and so many would like to see them have A together forgiveness show
