Diana Ross Appearing at Hard Rock Live February 23, Refuses to Speak with Crossfade

• Pt. 3 the number of her public appearances these days. She has given a half century of her soul, her spirit and her presence....now she deserves some time to smell the roses, thank the heavens and celebrate all that there is.

• Pt. 2 The Beatles and The Supremes were instantly in demand by the press. Diana was the primary spokesperson for the group when the interview is targeted. Eventually, Diana became the prime interest of the press. By 1968, she was being pursued for "solo" opportunities. Diana would continue as "The Queen of Motown" and one of the principal torchbearer of the label's legacy along with Smokey Robinson and Stevie Wonder. She has made herself available for a lot of television, radio and written inquiries. Though she is not retired, she is a lot more selective in

• I so agree with Mr. Simon, the post preceding my post. Diana just gave an in depth interview on Oprah. As a rule, she has often been betrayed unfairly by the press.
