An unauthorized biography Diana Ross xposed some “dirty” details about the Motown star. The story basically says she “slept her way to the top of Motown” to become the labvel’s biggest star.

“The Diana Ross few knew outside of the Motown colony was on a fast track to rise to the top from the first day she got to Motown; not incidentally, that was also the first day she knew who[m] she wanted to sleep with to keep up the momentum,” writes Mark Ribowsky in his unauthorized biography, “The Supremes: A Saga of Motown Dreams, Success and Betrayal,” out in July from Da Capo Press.       

“That, of course, turned out to be Berry Gordy, but only after” some other in-house romances, the book says. “In no time, Ross would climb beyond [the Supremes] onto the A-list as a solo act, record six more Number 1 songs, and earn millions as well as top billing in two movies.”       

The author also said that Ross stabbed her Supreme counterparts in the back. Mary Wilson, an original member of the group, and Cindy Birdsong, who replaced the late Florence Ballard, got their revenge when Ross tried to organize a 2000 Supremes reunion tour and offered them “a fraction” of the $15 million she’d get. They in turn, “backstabbed Ross . . . the pair refused to recede into her spotlight. Ross then tried to replace them with two nominal Supremes of the ’70s, but Supremes fans were interested only in the original configuration of the group and the tour was called off.”

This book looks rather interesting! What do you think?
