This is why the comparisons are just silly at this point. Diana Ross is one of the greatest to ever do it. Her influence is all over the industry. She is not forgotten, and I suspect the day that she is forgotten is probably quite some time after the last person living during her own lifetime has passed on. Her career speaks for itself, as does Aretha's, Barbra's, Cher's, etc.
Having said that, I do think it's worth mentioning that often when Diana is awarded or given some type of honor, maybe it's just me, but it seems like it's more often as a part of the Supremes than it is on her own. Of course one would have to extensively research all the Supremes and Diana Ross awards and honors to definitely state one way or the other. Who among you has that kind of time?:p
