Three years after her show-stopping debut to a packed audience in the Auditorium Stravinski, the supreme diva is back in Montreux! A trailblazer of 1960s R&B, Diana Ross has conquered soul and disco alike throughout her fascinating career as an artist. From Motown beginnings with her first hits like ‘Baby Love’ to her era-defining ’80s dance hits like ‘I’m Coming Out’ and ‘Upside Down’, she has reigned over the music world, collaborating with titans such as Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, Michael Jackson, Chic, Lionel Richie, Quincy Jones, and Michel Legrand—who composed the soundtrack for Lady Sings the Blues (1972), the cult film where Ross embodied Billie Holiday.
