The new biography of Diana Ross that will be available in mid-December. "...A LIFETIME TO GET HERE..." is the unauthorized biography of
legendary
entertainer Diana Ross. This is the true story of the woman who
fronted the most
successful female singing group of the 20th Century and went on to
an unparalleled
solo career. Certified by the Guiness Book of World Records as the
most successful
female entertainer of all-time, Diana Ross's voice was the lead on a
record 18 #1 singles,
earning 12 Grammy nominations along the way.
Featuring a text of more than 450 pages with over 60 photographs,
including many
that have never been previously published, this comprehensive work
reveals the truth
behind the break up of The Supremes, recounts the inspirational
effect Miss Ross's
career has had from the 1960's through the present, and details the
amazing success
of her Oscar nominated portrayal of Billie Holiday.
Detailed descriptions of her unique concert performances (including
the seminal
performance in Central Park) put the reader in the front row. Essays
throughout the
book help to elucidate the effects her 5-decade career has had on
popular culture.
For the first time anywhere, "...A LIFETIME TO GET HERE..." sets the
record
straight by not only refuting many of the unfair criticisms and
stereotypes that she has
been subjected to, but calls into account those who've propagated
them.
"...A LIFETIME TO GET HERE..." is the story of a strong woman who
reached
the pinnacle of show business on the strength of her vastly
underrated talent, her immense
capacity for work, and her desire for perfection, all starting at a
time in history when people
of color were not accorded equal access or equal hope for
realization of the American Dream.
Perhaps most significantly, it is the story of a woman who realized
the greatest of career heights,
while successfully making the priority of her life the raising of
her 5 children.
The Diana Ross captured in these pages is the woman who inspired the
likes of
Oprah Winfrey, Alicia Keys, and Beyonce, the woman who opened the
door for the
Halle Berrys of the world, the woman whose name instantly conjures
up the essence of
glamour and elan.
Finally, in "...A LIFETIME TO GET HERE..."
Diana Ross receives the historical due that she has long deserved.
