A Short Biography of Motown Legend Diana Ross
27 May 2010
Ross was born Diana Ernestine Earle Ross on March 26, 1944 in Detroit, Michigan. During the era, young black teenagers used to form into singing groups and perform on corners, in schools, or anywhere else they could showcase their music. Ross formed a group with some of her friends, including Mary Wilson and Florence Ballard. Barbara Martin was eventually added.
The group, known as The Supremes, was signed to Motown Records in 1961. Barbara Martin left the group in 1962, and instead of replacing her, the trio of girls powered on without a fourth member. Berry Gordy felt the set up was better this way. He also noticed that Diana stood out among the girls, and in 1963, Ross became the group’s lead vocalist.

Andy Warhol - one of the most innovative artists our time
09 April 2010
From the start of his art career until his death in 1987 from complications following gallbladder surgery, Andy was an ironically revered figure in the mainstream.
Andy was born Andrew Warhol in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania on August 6, 1928. Due to a childhood illness affecting his central nervous system, Andy’s extremities began to move sporadically and he developed hypochondria and always feared something was wrong. As a child that stayed mostly to himself and lived in fear, Andy’s artistic light began to shine.
