Diana Ross (born
March 26, 1944) is an American singer and actress. Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, she rose to
fame as the lead singer of the vocal group The Supremes, who
became Motown's most
successful act during the 1960s and one of the world's best-selling girl groups of all time. They remain the best-charting female group in US
history, with a total of twelve number-one hit singles on the US Billboard Hot 100,
including, "Where
Did Our Love Go", "Baby Love",
"Come See About Me", and
"Love Child".
Following
departure from the Supremes in 1970, Ross embarked on a highly successful,
globally ground-breaking solo career in music, television, film and stage.
Ross' eponymous
debut solo album that same year, featured the U.S.
number-one hit "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and
music anthem "Reach Out and Touch (Somebody's Hand)". It was followed
with her second solo album, Everything Is Everything, which
spawned her first UK number-one single "I'm Still Waiting". She
continued her successful solo career by mounting elaborate record-setting
world-wide concert tours, starring in a number of highly watched prime-time
television specials and releasing hit albums like Touch Me in the Morning (1973), Mahogany (1975) and Diana
Ross (1976) and their number-one hit singles, "Touch
Me in the Morning", "Theme from Mahogany" and
"Love Hangover",
respectively. Ross further released numerous top-ten hits into the 1970s, 80s
and 90s. She achieved two more US number-one singles, "Upside Down" (1980) and
"Endless
Love" (1981), as well as UK number-one hit "Chain Reaction" (1986) and
UK number-two hit "When You Tell Me You Love Me" (1991). In 2019,
Ross made history by charting four more number-ones on the U.S. Billboard Dance Chart in just two years with remixes 'Ain't No Mountain High
Enough 2017' in January 2018, 'I'm Coming Out/Upside Down 2018' in August that
year and 'The Boss 2019' in April 2019.
Ross has
also ventured into acting, with a Golden
Globe Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated
performance in the film Lady Sings the Blues (1972); she recorded its soundtrack, which became a number one hit
on the U.S. album chart. She also starred in two other feature films, Mahogany (1975) and The Wiz (1978), later acting in the television films Out of Darkness (1994), for which she also was nominated for a Golden Globe Award,
and Double
Platinum (1999).
Ross was
named the "Female Entertainer of the Century" by Billboard in 1976. She is the only female artist to have number-one singles on
the Billboard Hot 100 as a solo artist, as the other half of a duet, as
a member of a trio, and as an ensemble member. Billboard ranked her as
28th greatest Hot 100 artist of all time. Ross ranks among the Top 5 artists on
the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart from 1955 to 2018 when combining her
solo and Supremes' hits. She had a top 10 UK hit in every one of the last five
decades, and sang lead on a top 75 hit single at least once every year from
1964 to 1996 in the UK, a period of 33 consecutive years and a record for any
performer. In 1988, Ross was inducted to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Supremes. Guinness Book of World Records recognized her success in the United States and United Kingdom for
having more hits than any female artist in the charts, with a career total of
70 hit singles with her work with the Supremes and as a solo artist. She was
the recipient of the Kennedy
Center Honors in 2007, the Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award in 2012, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2016.
"When
You Tell Me That You Love Me" is a 1991 song by American soul singer Diana Ross. The song
was written by Albert Hammond and John Bettis, and
produced by Peter Asher. The song was subsequently covered by various artists.
"When
You Tell Me That You Love Me" was released as the lead single on August 20, 1991, from Diana Ross's 1991 album The Force Behind the Power released on the Motown label in the US and by EMI in the UK. The song, a sentimental
ballad, was the album's biggest hit, peaking at number thirty-seven on the US Billboard R&B singles chart while peaking at number-two on the UK Singles Chart. Ross
considers it one of her signature songs. The UK
release included her 1985 hit "Chain Reaction".
It missed
the UK Christmas number one spot for 1991 by a couple of hundred units, beaten out by the re-release
of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody"
commemorating the passing of lead singer, Freddie Mercury. The
single was awarded a Silver Disc for UK sales exceeding 200,000 copies.
I wanna call the stars
Down from the sky
I wanna live a day
That never dies
I wanna change the world
Only for you
All the impossible
I wanna do
I wanna hold you close
Under the rain
I wanna kiss your smile
And feel the pain
I know what's beautiful
Looking at you
In a world of lies
You are the truth
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
I wanna make you see
Just what I was
Show you the loneliness
And what it does
You walked into my life
To stop my tears
Everything's easy now
I have you here
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
In a world without you
I would always hunger
All I need is your love to make me stronger
And baby
Everytime you touch me
I become a hero
I'll make you safe
No matter where you are
And bring you
Everything you ask for
Nothing is above me
I'm shining like a candle in the dark
When you tell me that you love me
You love me
When you tell me that you love me.
