Diana Ross Sings Again

Date 2016-11-23

It was over half a century ago that Diana Ross sang with the Supremes. They went straight to the top of the charts with their number one single “I Hear a Symphony”.

 

Now at the age of 72-years-old, Ross will hit the stage at the Kennedy Center with the National Symphony Orchestra that will be conducted by Emil de Cou. The concert is called “ALL The Best of Times,” and it will be one to remember.

 

Ross was recently awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom, from President Obama at the White House. This is the highest civilian award that one can receive in the United States.

 

Diana Ross has had a long career, with many theatrical works, like “Motown: The Musical” or “Dreamgirls”. Plus, Billboard magazine even named Ross the female entertainer of the century. She continues to bring large audiences to her shows, as her music speaks to the masses.

 

The feminine name Diana is most likely derived from the old Indo-European root that means “divine” or “heavenly”. The name is also related to dyeus or Zeus who is a Greek god whose name probably means “sky” or “shine”. The name became popular after the Roman goddess Diana, who is the protector of the moon, forests, hunting and childbirth and is most often identified with another Greek goddess – Artemis.

 

The name has been common since the Renaissance as a given name. It became even more popular in the English-speaking world after Sir Walter Scott release his novel “Rob Roy” that has a character called Diana Vernon.
