STONEWALL Veterans' Association:  'Go Fund Us'!

 There are sooooo many endless reasons why you should "H-E-L-P" the STONEWALL Rebellion  
Veterans Association
("S.V.A.") during this difficult world health epidemic and the dire economic 
consequences it has caused for worthwhile non-profit groups!  A
t the original STONEWALL Bar 
& Dance Club
in Greenwich Village, NY, the Gay boys and the Gay girls and their straight friends 
 started the uprising -- not the rented storefront!  Thus, the most important support is preserving the  
real history of the actual participants who created the Stonewall Rebellion!  They launched the 
modern G.L.B.T. rights movement known as the Stonewall Rebellion!  In other words, respect 
and support the people as represented proudly and exclusively for over a half-century by the 
voluntary, non-profit National STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association -- not the 
rented, self-serving, for-profit, greedy, 95+% heterosexually-owned "Stonewall" storefront!
Current rip-off creeps selfishly give nothing to the folks who made it famous: Sronewall Vets!

This 'Go Fund Us' site includes a rarified slideshow of fascinating vintage photographs of 
members of the STONEWALL Veterans' Association, all of whom were victims of the 
anti-Gay New York City Police Department raids on the original STONEWALL Club or the 
historic seven-night 1969 Stonewall Rebellion!  As an authentic treat, you will hear 
background 
music of an actual #1 girl group song from the original STONEWALL Bar & Dance Club Jukebox!
Supporting the S.V.A. now ensures our existence, our educational programs and outreach services!

Diva Diana at Radio City Music Hall in NYC

It 
is supremely significant that Miss Diana Ross is returning to the internationally-known Radio City Music Hall in Manhattan, NYC -- and so soon -- to perform during Gay Pride Week!  After all, with her legions of worldwide Gay, Lesbian, Bisexual and Transgender ("G.L.B.T.") admirers and the fact that the Stonewall Rebellion ignited in Manhattan, makes it all the more significant!  Besides the great opening song of one of the greatest Gay anthems, "I'm Coming Out", we expect to hear several hit songs that were very supremely popular in all of the Gar Bar and Dance Club jukeboxes around the world!  Those Diana-led Supremes songs include, but are not limited to:  "Reflections", "U Keep Me Hangin' On", "Love Is Here And Now You're Gone", "I'm Gonna Make U Love Me", "(Mama Said) You Can't Hurry Love", "I'm Living In Shame", "Love Is Like An Itching In My Heart", "Love Child", "My World Is Empty Without U, Babe", "There's No Stopping Us Now", "No Matter What Sign U Are", "In And Out Of Love" and, of course, "Someday We'll Be Together"!  Trust us, as always, several members of the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans' Association already have our front and center tickets for Thursday evening @ 8 p.m. to supremely enjoy all of Diana!

Diana Ross Returns to Radio City Music Hall, NYC

Diva Diana performed a whopping 25 of her songs to a sold-out show with a wildly (and
 Gay) enthusiastic audience!

Here is Diana's grrrreat songlist for the show on Tuesday, September 13, 2022 in NYC!
Https://www.Setlist.fm/setlist/diana-ross/2022/radio-city-music-hall-new-york-ny-23b0248f.html
 
P.S.  Setlist.FM got it right except in one of their parenthetical sources.  "Home" from "The Wiz" is Diana's memorable song from HER movie "The Wiz"!  (The movie producers, ironically and understandably, unanimously chose Miss Ross over her desperately-wanting-the-role opponent.)

Diana Ross Is Honored at the American Music Awards

Diana Ross grandly received
on the "45th Annual American Music Awards Show" (AMA) the "Lifetime Achievement Award" on Sunday evening, November 19th, 2017.  Diana has already received the Grammy Awards' lifetime achievement award!  The AMA is one of the endless music shows that Diana Ross has performed on and hosted AMA twice!  Besides showing vintage performance music clips with The Supremes, solo performances including her famous Central Park Concert and AMA award, Diana performed tonight!  Diva Ross performed 'live' her following hit songs:
"I'm Coming Out" (1980)
"Take Me Higher" (1995)
"Ease On Down The Road" (1978)
"The Best Years Of My Life" (1993)
"Ain't No Mountain High Enough" (1970)

Christina Aguilera, Bruno MarsKelly Clarkson, Pink, Nick JonasDemi Lovato and Shawn Mendes!  Ironically (or maybe not so ironic), one of Diana's three daughters, actress Tracee Ellis Ross, co-star of hit television shows "Girlfriends" and "Black-ish", hosted the event which honored her Supreme mother!  The entire Ross Family was there; they later joined her on stage!  After Diana's invigorating performance for the finale of the three-hour show, she was also joined on stage by some of her Motown family namely Berry Gordy, Jr.Smokey Robinson and Lionel Ritchie.  The fulfilling AMA show was from 8 p.m. until just after 11 p.m. (EST).  It concluded with Diana!

Diana Ross Showcases at St. George Theatre, NYC

Diana Ross
has many favourite performance venues throughout her World touring.  The historic, beautifully-restored, grand St. George Theatre in Staten Island, New York, is one!  She last performed there in 2001.  You can even arrive there via one of the famous Staten Island ferries with a scenic and close-up view of "The Statue of Liberty"!  The recent time that Diana performed there -- sold-out-- was "One Night Only" on Tuesday, April 12th, 2016.  Yes, the STONEWALL Rebellion Veterans Association had a special block of tickets.  To quote the name of a Diana song from the year of her Central Park Concert, 1983, the seats were "Up Front"!  The S.V.A. contingency was led by Willson Henderson, who Diana knows starting in 1969 backstage at the Westbury Music Fair in Westbury, Long Island, NY, and AnDre M. Christie, who Diana met for the first time tonight when she eyed and winked him, signalled him with her index finger and called him (yes, a total of three times) -- AnDre was "A Breath-Taking Guy" (one of his favorite DRS songs) -- up on stage to dance with her during "Upside Down (Boy, You Move Me)"!  In fact, the Supreme seats were totally "Up Front" in the V.I.P. front row center right in front of Diana!  We could really "Reach Out And Touch...".

Diva Diana Ross is the supreme superstar, sold-out, sole performer who grandly re-opened the legendary and multi-million dollar Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, New York on Tuesday, February 3, 2015.  This is a tremendous honor as nearly 100 million dollars was spent to fully restore the classic theatre to its full grandeur and beauty modelled after the spectacular Palace of Versailles and the glamorous Paris Opera House in France, as it was when built in 1929!  The theatre closed in 1977 -- ironically, the same year that the post-Diana Supremes ended!  "Our World Is Empty Without You"!

Music Royalty:  Diana Ross Reopens the grand Kings Theatre in Brooklyn, NYC
www.NYTimes.com/2015/02/05/Arts/Music/Diana-Ross-Reopens-the-Kings-Theater-in-Brooklyn.html
Attention:  Jon Caramanica, NYX music reporter -- besides all the news why not print all the facts and not careless innacuracy?
Diana Ross hit songs like "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" are not 'other people's songs'!  That is ridiculous!  
And, you ludicrously misstated that "about one third of the songlist" were other's songs.  Math is not your forte.  That's like saying, Jon, you have too many "o"'s in your last name!  Each of the three songs that you mentioned were single release records, besides in studio albums and record compilations, by Diana Ross!  They then became hers!  For example, Motown owner Berry Gordy, Jr. and songwriters Valerie Simpson and Nicholas Ashford wanted Motown's sole #1 female star to re-record "ANMHE".  She sure did and with a totally different arrangement and style and hit it out of the international park at #1 with a bullet!  Diana's version is considered by most as the ultimate theme song of Motown!  Did you see the Broadway musical "Motown"?  Jon, think Marvin Gay re-doing Gladys Knight & The Pips' song "I Heard It Through The Grapevine".  Mind you, this is all with in the same record company!  Duh!  Would you refer to James Taylor performing "You've Got A Friend" as "someone else's song"?  We don't think so.  And what about all the singers who have 'covered' the songs of The Supremes and Diana Ross?!

Diana Ross Headlines Brooklyn Theater Grand Reopening

This on-the-scene story covers both of the stars:  Diana and the theatre!!  The article's sub-title is:  "The veteran star Diana Ross is the first to perform at the historic theatre in Flatbush since its $95 million dollar restoration."  This story is an interesting and accurate accounting of the evening.  Reporter Frank Scheck describes Diana Ross later in the show requesting the house lights to be turned on and talking to the audience about the grandness and the beauty of the theatre, encouraging them to look around and up.  "I feel like a queen", Diana appropriately quipped.  The feature article uniquely includes the concert songlist of Miss Ross.

Diva Diana Ross Shines at Opening of Kings Theatre
www.NYPost.com/2015/02/03/Diana-Ross-Shines-at-Kings-Theatre-grand-Re-Opening
This Diana Ross article in the New York Post authored by (the unknown to us) Hardeep Phull may have the least errors in the three main dailies of the star, the songlist and the event but nonetheless it has them.  The story is also, unfortunately, sprinkled with snide remarks.  No doubt the author Hardeep was not alive in 1975 or in another land not knowing that the thought-provoking and inspiring "Do You Know Where You're Going To" was a solid across-the-baord, top-of-the-charts song.  Instead, he fluffs it off and disses the song?  Duh!  He ludicrously implies that Diana does not like the theme song of her movie "Mahogany".  The heck she don't!  By the way, many people think the film "Slumdog Millionaire" was 'sappy'.  The article has a stupid ending paragraph not about Miss Ross or the fabled theatre but about an unprecocious child.  Of course, a 5-year youngin' was 'reluctant' to bounce onto a stage screamin' "here I am!" in a strange land in front of 3,000 people!  Then worse, speaking from the imagined mind of the child, the author ended the off-track story with a mindless analogy reference to the demised Donna Summer!

Diana Ross Performs her Hits at Re-Opening of Kings Theatre
 www.NYDailyNews.com/entertainment/movies/Diana-Ross-Performs-Hits-Re-Opening-Kings-Theater-1.2102592
Attention:  Jim Farber at the New York Daily News (for a quarter-of-a-century)!
Diana Ross's playlist, unlike what you incorrectly wrote (set-list is up to the 1980s), actually includes the 1990s and, in fact, the 2000s!

"Take Me Higher" #1 dance hit song is from 1995, "I Will Survive" is #1 dance song (and incredibly exciting video) from 1996 and "(I Love You) More Today Than Yesterday" is her single from 2007 -- just eight years ago, Jim, not the 1980s!  "Take Me Higher" was memorably (we thought unforgetably) performed by Diana Ross when she was the half-time entertainment for Super Bowl XXX in 1996!  For your info, folks, "Survive" was written by two former Motown songwriters.  While at Motown, Freddie Perren co-wrote "I Want U Back", "ABC" and "The Love U Save" and more for the Jackson 5.  "Survive" was intended for Diana Ross but Berry Gordy, Jr., rejected it as the songwriters left Motown.  (Berry quickly admitted the big mistake.)  It is quite fitting that the song was recorded two decades later and released as a single by the intended singer:  Diana Ross!

STONEWALL Newzletta Editor's Note:  Ever since there have been singing divas, going back to Judy Garland in 1939, it seems that the usually Gay male writers who review their shows always have to add disparaging remarks as if they are in competition with these multi-talented, who are also glamorous, female legends including Barbra, Shirley Bassey, Cher,  Madonna, Mariah Carey and, of course, Diana!  And, these seemingly envious wannabes are carelessly music fact-challenged such as falsely stating that Miss Ross's setlist hasn't changed since the 1980s.  In fact, diva Diana's concert songlist has three singles from the 1990s and 2000s!  The reality is that it would be irrelevant if Miss Ross's stellar songlist didn't change from the 1960s!  She has at least 25 hit songs just from then!  In conclusion, "Someday We'll Be Together"!

The original one-and-only Motown diva... Diana Ross!  







Diana Ross:  Grammy Lifetime Achievement Award

After 50 years -- and counting -- in show business and with a stellar career of bringing joy to the World, inspiring other artists, having her work 'sampled', chart-busting, memorable songs, fourteen number one songs leading the number one girl group in history Diana Ross & The Supremes and two dozen hit songs solo, including eight number one songs, The Grammys fi-nal-ly presented the one-and-only Diana Ross with something that she has earned and deserved since her first #1 million-seller "Where Did Our Love Go" in 1964:  a Grammy award!  Ironically, the song "WDOLG" was ultimately inducted (in 1999) into the Grammy Hall-of-Fame ("HOF")!  The song did not sing itself!  Subsequently, "You Keep Me Hangin' On" was inducted into the Grammy HOF in 2000 and "Stop! In The Name Of Love" in 2001.  Years ago in the Gay community, and no doubt elsewhere worldwide, the question was "Who would get a Grammy first:  Diana Ross or Milli Vanilli?  Hey, Milli won!  The next bet was serious:  "Who would get the award first:  Diana Ross with a Grammy or Susan Lucci with an Emmy, since both stars went so long empty-handed though greatly deserving, as was well known by everyone.  Well, we had that bet wrong, too:  La Lucci got it first!  And, now, Diva Diana can triumphantly and supremely sing her song:  "It's My Turn"!

As leader of The Supremes, Diana and the girls were nominated for Grammy awards for "Baby Love" and "Stop! In The Name Of Love".  Surprisingly, there weren't several other #1 songs nominated.  Diana Ross's Grammy-nominated post-Supremes solo records include the following:  "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" {written by Ashford & Simpson}, "I Love You, Call Me" (album cut) {written by Aretha}, "Touch Me In The Morning" {written by Michael Masser}, "Love Hangover", "Your Love Is So Good For Me", "Ease On Down The Road" (with Michael Jackson), "Upside Down" {written by Nile Rogers}, "Endless Love" (with Lionel Richie; twice, for record-of-the-year and best duet) {written by Lionel} and "Muscles" {sensuously and gayly written by Michael Jackson}.
 
The 54th Annual Grammy Awards event was "The Happening" (speaking of DR #1s) on Sunday, February 12, 2012, televised on the CBS-TV network from Los Angeles, California @ 8 p.m.  Diva Diana was euphoric and grand and, yes, Berry thankful!

Diana Ross:  Diana Extended 

Fierce photo of fierce-as-ever Diva Diana in fierce pose

Fierce musical release is this hottie on the "I'm Coming Out" anthem "25th anniversary of the Stonewall Rebellion".  The big surprise here is the 25th anniversary remix of Diana Ross & The Supremes' #1 finale signature song "Someday We'll Be Together" -- also from 1969!  "Someday" is very appropriately, smartly and gay-ly included on this solo Diana Ross compact disc.  This great "SWBT" dance remix became the unofficial theme song of "Stonewall 25".  People, who were already reminiscing back to the Stonewall Era songs, instantly had the authentic music (with a new twist) for great  accompaniment.  "Someday Well Be Together", the 1969 climatic song of The Stonewall, is particularly poignant for all of the Gay veterans of the New York City Stonewall Rebellion in 1969.

Diana Ross:  The Motown Flipsides (1970 - 1982)


Diva-ishly included in this incredibly unique and very valuable compact disc, "Diana Ross:  The Motown Flipsides" from 1970 to 1982, are almost all of the Motown "flipside" (B-side record) songs of Diana Ross such as Ashford & Simpson's "Can't It Wait Until Tomorrow", Burt Bacharach's "They Long To Be Close To You" (live!), the Las Vegas-ish "I'm A Winner", the pensive "God Bless The Child", the Marvin Gaye-authored and pleading "Save The Children", the happy-in-love "Together", the gay-ly campy "Kiss Me Now", the classic advisory "Smile", an album-titled song "Baby It's Me", the heartfelt "Friend To Friend" and the delightfully campy "Old Funky Rolls", among a dozen other Ross-ities!  (This compact disc should be but is not yet part of the Motown Records catalog.)
