The bigger Diana Ross fan groups online, particularly "The Ultimate Fans" have quite a few members as early as high school through folks in their 20's, 30s and early 40s. Diana and The Supremes are recognizable "legacy" artists right up there with The Beatles, Elvis and The Stones. They certainly aren't AS widely favored as those other acts but in terms of female artists, there really aren't many from that era that continue to draw an age-diverse crowd. Cher perhaps although I can't speak from experience. Barbra Streisand's audience tends to lean a little older.
I left out the White House Christmas concert. The Obama generation had Diana Ross "trending" online after that aired.
