Diana Ernestine Earle Ross(born March 26,
1944) is an American entertainer and actress. 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 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 successful solo career in music, film, television and
on stage. Her eponymous
debut solo album 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 (1970), 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)
as well as their number-one hit singles, "Touch Me in
the Morning", "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going
To)", and "Love Hangover",
respectively. Ross
further released numerous top-ten hits on the Billboard charts throughout the 1970s,
'80s, and '90s. She achieved several more global number-one
singles, "Upside
Down"(1980), "Endless Love"(1981),
"Chain
Reaction"(1986) and "When You Tell
Me That You Love Me" (1991).
Ross
has also acted. Her first role was her Golden Globe
Award-winning and Academy Award-nominated
portrayal of Billie Holiday in the film Lady Sings
the Blues(1972); she also 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),
and later appeared in the television films Out of Darkness(1994),
for which she was nominated for a Golden Globe Award, and Double
Platinum(1999).
Diana(stylized on the cover as diana) is the
eleventh studio album by American singer Diana Ross,
released on May 22, 1980, by Motown Records.
The album is the
best-selling studio album of Ross's career, spawning three international hit
singles, including the number-one hit "Upside Down".
In 2020, Rolling Stone named Diana the 394th greatest album of all time.
I said upside down
You're turning me
You're giving love instinctively
Around and round you're turning me
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Instinctively you
give to me
The love that I need
I cherish the moments with you
Respectfully I say to thee
I'm aware that you're cheating
When no one makes me feel like you do
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
And round and round
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out

As long as the sun continues to shine
There's a place in my heart for you
That's the bottomline
Upside down
Boy, you turn me
Inside out
