Adele's recent Grammy sweep might signal a return to popularity for the mainstream soul songstress. But that archetype probably wouldn't exist if it weren't for the great Diana Ross.
Her voice helped define soul just as her reported offstage behavior helped define diva. But it all added up to timeless tales of heartbreak, self-sufficiency, and hard-won love. And as proof of her material's staying power, Ross has been touring since 2010 under the banner More Today Than Yesterday: The Greatest Hits Tour.
That retrospective production's whopping fifth leg kicks off in South Florida this Thursday. And as the name indicates, fans can expect all of their favorites from over the years.
