Congratulations to Miss Diana Ross! Contrary to popular belief, this is Miss Ross' first and only GRAMMY AWARD. She has been in the game for over 50 years but has never won...not even with the Supremes. She can now add this Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award to her list of other honors including: Tony and Golden Globe and an Oscar nomination (1972, Lady Sings the Blues). She has also won numerous American Music awards and America's highest award for the arts, The Kennedy Center Honors.

I must agree that she is the first black female POP STAR and the blueprint for so many of today's female artists including Whitney Houston, Madonna, Janet, Beyonce, who in my humble opinion, has a career that is very similar to Ms. Ross...

I hate to dissapoint you all but this particular part of the Grammy's will not be televised, so there will probably be no tributes...However, they will acknowledge these honorees during the show.

Once again, this is such a long overdue Tribute for someone who has given so much to music and the world of entertainment. Looking forward to Feb. 2012!
