Diva Canon #7: DIANA ROSS

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

DIANA FACTS:

Her middle name is 'Ernestine'.

She used to sh4g Gene Simmons out of KISS.

She once served a two-day jail sentence.

She is actually a MERMAID hence the fishtail dresses.

The original diva (if you don't count Marie Antoinette) made sure she had a separate credit on pretty much every song she appeared on for maximum importance. As such, I have only included singles where Diana is named separately. I nearly made this a smaller, Supremes-only poll, but the whole point of canonizing is to weed the wheat from the chaff, and there's certainly a lot of chaff down here. EIGHTEEN ticks? Ndoobedoobedoo!

Off the top of my head - best songs to copy the rhythm from "Can't Hurry Love":

(1) A Martha & the Vandellas track whose name is escaping me.
(2) Rolling Stones "Sympathy for the Devil."
(3) Iggy Pop "Lust for Life"

There may be scores that are better than those three, but my mind is a blank today. Next History of Jop will have one of the worst ever, though: Jet's "Are You Gonna Be My Girl."
