Ali lit up when Diana,his loyal friend throughout all his earliest trials and tribulations, walked onstage. Diana fell to her knees at Ali's feet in his dressing room,uncontrollably crying when he lost to Frazier,and Ali comforted her. She was there again and jumped into ringside when he won against Frazier,second bout. Ali had great people in his corner...and many of them were on that stage..

The young woman was Diana Ross. I will never forget it. It was the essence of his wonderful humanity. Thanks Diana, Thanks Whitney, And most of all thank you Brother For floating like a butter fly, but stinging like a bee, there will never ever be another, Muhammad Ali!!

True hero for all of us. You will always be part of our lives.

[@TheMisterMarilyn]

Diana was THE FIRST!!!! Before Diana there was no one. And, she started so young, with The Supremes, and you saw her evolving right before your very eyes. The longer she performed the better she got. Her hunger to learn the art of performance, how to ‘control’ an audience, how to be a fully formed all around entertainer was almost palpable, and you could see that she gave it everything that she had, ALL the time!! While her other peers were going shopping, and laughing and refusing to attend the Maxine Powell ‘finishing/ charm school classes’ Diana was there, soaking it all up. She wanted to be the BEST, and my God did she ever accomplish it too!! It’s only when the rewards of all that learning, how to connect with an audience, ANY audience, helped The Supremes start to get bookings in nightclubs and venues that had never engaged a black group before, and the fact that Berry had noticed how hard Diana was willing to work, did all those absurd rumours begin. In fact she showed those other artists up and they despised her for wanting more, and actually working to get it!! Even Marvin Gaye, who wanted to be the king to Diana’s queen of Motown, wouldn’t go an inch out of his way to learn the essentials, yet was right up there complaining long and loudly that he wasn’t getting what Diana got. And she continued with that work ethic, after she left The Supremes and for the rest of her career. Diana was and is a professional, in the truest sense of the word. I’ve met Diana and became friends with her for a while in the early 80’s and was her guest backstage at some of her shows, and believe me, I went round (while she was doing the second show of the evening) and spoke with everyone who worked for her and everyone backstage, trying to find out what the real tea was, and not ONE PERSON had anything bad to say about her. Yes, she likes to be called Miss Ross...Damn straight...she has WORKED to be afforded that respect!! Of course she’s not the world’s best singer (if you’re talking about runs and belting and all the rest of it) but my God, she is the real deal, and knows EXACTLY what she’s doing when she steps on stage and she takes total control. She truly is something else entirely... she radiates and she puts on THE show!! Whitney knew all of this that I’m saying about her as well, and she gave it up to Diana, for the exact reasons I have explained. Whitney could sing Diana under the table, and she refined her stagecraft hugely over her career, but she could never out Diana Diana...no mam!! They each acknowledged the strengths of the other, and liked each other precisely because they both knew what it takes to be what they were. I have complete and total love and respect for both of them. We will never see their likes again that’s for sure!! Goddesses. 🥰🌟🧡

[@URSF75]

At Marilyn: Do you work for Diana? All the artists you mentioned they worked hard. But during that time period, there was room for one black artist only. And it still may be true today. And by the way there were several great (black female) artists before her.

I don’t know why people keep comparing Diana to Whitney, only to try to denigrate Diana. Diana was/is where Whitney was then & actually has exceeded that in many respects for she had the longevity & diverse accomplishments in terms of genre of music, acting, & business savvy. Diana is also twenty plus years older, even though she may not look like it. Whenever these types of functions exist where significant black artists &/or participants are present, these are the times when a certain mentality like to use the opportunity to denigrate Diana. Yet, if she did not partake in many of these functions they would also denigrate her for not partaking.

[@BroccoliBeefed]

Those people, like many people just don't understand what so many found appealing about Diana's high-pitched squeaky voice. Too bad for them, they'll never comprehend, no matter how much you explain it

[@classanddignity]

Her voice has a beautiful tone and pitch. Her voice is of her voice type; she has a strong voice, but it’s light. Yet, it can’t be drowned-out easily, due to the way it carries. That’s why Flo never could drown Diana out, but she could Mary. Even here, you can clearly hear Diana singing distinctively out of all those singers. Her voice stands out. Flo’s voice didn’t stand out. Louder does not mean better.
