Diana Ross, her Top Hits

I’m Gonna Make You Love Me


Another from Diana Ross and the Supremes this time featuring another classic Motown band The Temptations. It was piped to the post in the US by Marvin Gaye’s I Heard It Through The Grapevine and peaked at number 3 in the UK charts. Written by Kenny Gamble and Jerry Ross, it was originally a hit for Dee Dee Warwick.

Endless Love


One of the best duets of all time this song features the vocal talents of Diana and song writer Lionel Richie. A beautiful romantic ballad the duet has been covered over the years by various artists, and when it was released in 1981 it became the second biggest selling single of the year in the US. Originally used as the theme song for the film Endless Love the song was nominated for an Academy Award.

Theme From Mahogany


Recorded in 1975 by Diana for the film Mahogany, the song went on to be nominated for an Academy Award with Diana performing live at the ceremony. Becoming a number 1 hit in the US and reaching number 5 in the UK, the song became one of the most notable parts of the film and was recorded with a full orchestra.

I’m Coming Out


The second single from Diana’s 1980 self titled album, the song charted at number 13 in the UK charts but has since gone on to become a huge iconic hit – especially within the LGBT community. Written and produced by Chic members Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards the song supposedly has further meaning for Diana who was leaving Motown Records at the time.

Diana Ross: Her Life, Love and Legacy is in UK cinemas for one night only on 26th March to mark Diana’s 75th Birthday. Tickets can be bought from mycineplace.com
