This updated bio from Randy Taraborrelli isn't bad. In fact I would venture to say it's good. I've had my negative feelings for Taraborrelli over the years, especially after reading Call Her Miss Ross when it was first published. At that time part of me felt like a protective fan ready to be Ross's bodyguard against people trying to cash in on her life; the other part was happy to have something to balance out Mary Wilson's scathing and one-sided view points in her memoirs: Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme. Even after I realized that Mary basically published her diaries that she kept since she was 17, it still felt like cherry picked indictments against my favorite singer Ross.Randy did help to balance Mary by filling in parts that Mary conveniently left out, like how the ousting of Flo wasn't a Diana-Berry soapy drama, it was a Diana/Mary/Berry trio, and to be completely objective, Flo herself. Even a man on Pluto could see how that chapter would end. I also liked that he included Diana's lending money to Mary when she needed it, and the fact they were friends up until Mary's memoirs, even after the Motown 25 mess. Quite honestly, in the Mary/Diana story, they both have equal parts to blame (which Randy also covers). Despite Mary's shenanigans about Ross, it's clear to any observer that she admired her childhood best friend, and even borrowed some of her best qualities when she (Mary) fought to keep the Supremes going in the 70's, fought Motown for the rights to own the Supremes name, and fought for her own survival in a very tough business. In hindsight, if Diana and Mary had spoken and maybe spent some time together (not much lol), but some, the Supremes segment of Motown 25, Mary's memoirs, and Diana's Return to Love tour would have all turned out differently. In the former, Mary would have dressed in black/white like Diana and Cindy Birdsong; she wouldn't have purposely had her mic turned up so she could over sing Diana, and all 3 would have stood on stage together after all agreeing and practicing before hand. In the latter, Mary's scathing memoirs would have included some friendship talk with Ross and a more balanced view of the past and present, and the Return to Love Tour wouldn't have been a Ross and replacements show, or even a Ross and all 6 other living members of the Supremes (which was actually a concept at one point). It would have been Diana, Mary, and Cindy in a tour de force concert, celebrating both the Supremes 40th anniversary, and Diana's 30th anniversary as a solo act. An entire generation of fans (both Gen X and Gen Y) as well as baby boomers would have paid the top dollar ($250) to see this once in a lifetime event. Till this day, some fans still talk about what could have been. Many of whom would have seen Diana, Mary, and Cindy perform live for the first time. I personally saw the RTL tour in Philly and bought 2 top dollar tickets for myself and my mother and we loved every minute of it, but before that show started practically all the fans in my row of pristine seats were lamenting about not seeing Mary and Cindy.Randy's probably the best biographer I've read of Ross. That's a hard task for anyone, because I've always seen Diana as an extremely private, pragmatic, and perhaps a little too inflexible person when it comes to telling her story. I knew her memoirs Secrets of a Sparrow would be a good read, most likely positive and inspirational, but I also knew it wouldn't be very candid. It's not in her DNA. I thought that before the book came out, and kept that opinion after I read it. Supremes' childhood fan Tony Turner had an interesting bio of the Supremes called All That Glittered, that was soapy and borrowed from Mary's memoirs, but it was clear he loooved Flo. To the point that it's not clear what was truth and what was hyperbole in his book. That leaves Randy's bio. In Call Her Miss Ross, there was way too much editorializing for my comfort. When you're reading a bio, most of the time you want to read it like a fly on the wall observing these past events. You're not always looking for the author to insert his opinion on just about everything. It's distracting at best. I think Randy did a much better job with that in this updated bio of Diana. He covers 4 full chapters of her life (childhood, Supremes, Solo, and Post 80's).This book covers everything up to 2014. To know that since 2014, at the age of 70, Ross has also received the American Musican Awards Lifetime Achievement award, the Presidential Medal of Freedom, and set a new record of attendance at Brooklyn's renovated King's Theater, and residency in Las Vegas, went to number 1 again on the itunes dance charts, and created a hugely successful perfume fragrance, are all testaments to her enduring talent and legendary status.
I believe Randy T is a Diana Ross fan. I see him at her shows. I've met him, and he seems a very pleasant fellow. He is also an author. An author who must support himself. So, when Dreamgirls came out in theaters, this was not far behind. A rehashing and reformation of his previous attempt at mortgage payments, Call Her Miss Ross, this &^%^%$&#$^%&^% only slightly redeems Mr. T. There are still passages of dialog that could not have been witnessed, absurd stabs at literary license hoping to create drama and/or intrigue (my fave being the scene at the Motown audition where Flo is described by "a witness" as "The total entertainer's package." I loved Flo to death but she was akward on the mic when speaking, unable to handle anything close to a pop song (3 years of leading on 70% of People and she still couldn't nail it) hated to rehearse, couldn't dance and had poor grammar. Producers rarely, before or after the audition, gave her lead sheets - but readers are left scratching their heads wondering why Flo never became a superstar - after all, she had everything at the age of 15! There are facts and research results here, but WAAAAAAAAY to much supposition for a bio of my fave singer. For a better overview of her life and career, I suggest A Lifetime To Get Here by Thomas Adrahtas. For a fun, dirt filled, silly, over-the-top exaggeration and exploitaton of the Supremes, try All That Glittered (but you still wont know much about the group. No truths about the group, anyway.)
Diana Ross: A Biography by J. Randy Taraborelli is an exceptional biography of one of the greatest singer's of all time.For many, Diana Ross's reputation precedes her. She's often been characterized as a difficult and demanding diva. Certainly, one of the infamous legends attached to her is her request to only be addressed as Miss Ross. Others would cite her putting herself ahead of the other members of The Supremes in order to advance her career as the height of her diva behavior.And to an extent, her reputation for diva-ish behavior was accurate. But in this book we learn why she acted the way she did and that she was much more complex then her reputation would suggest. She was just being herself and dealing with the fame her singing career brought her as best she knew how. The relationship between her and Berry Gordy and his aspirations for her only added to the mix.Most people don't appreciate her struggle from being a kid from Detroit to becoming famous during the Civil Rights era. She was one of the few breakthrough artists of that era, appealing to white people as well as black. And she also dealt with the issues that the South struggled with during this time, while on tour, facing racism head on. She was also one of the few leading ladies on the silver screen that wasn't white.I learned so much about Miss Ross from this book. Some of the stories are familiar, but many I've never heard. Taraborelli does an excellent job of showing how Diana went from a typical teen to the Queen of Motown. It is very much worth a read. Taraborelli has a love for Miss Ross, but is not afraid to put out the truth. He also gives us context to her behavior, giving us a better understanding of what made Diana tick and why she acted the way she did.No matter the odds or what some people said, Diana persevered and made her dreams come true. And while her life has had its ups and downs (just like the rest of us), she never stopped trying. Her journey is something we all could learn from. And this book will show you the way. By the end, you'll not only appreciate Diana's music, but how she got where she is. And you'll believe that you can make your dreams come true.
