Diana Ross was born and raised in Detroit, Michigan and is one of the most famous African-American singers of all time. She is most famous for her career in the group The Supremes from 1959 to 1970.
She began her career in music at 15 years old in a group called the Primettes that consisted of herself, Florence Ballard, Mary Wilson, and Betty McGlown.
