Diana Ross to sing for good cause at Nokia Theater in LA next week – and I’ll be there!!!
If you haven’t seen Diana Ross in concert then you don’t know what you are missing.
On Thursday, March 22, Miss Ross returns to the Nokia Theater in downtown Los Angeles.
She is headlining A Night of Divas which benefits the Herbalife Family Foundation.
The foundation helps provide good nutrition to at-risk and low income children around the world.
All proceeds will go to this worthy cause.
Here is a LINK for more information and tickets!
I first saw Miss Ross at the Pacific Ampitheatre in 1989 during the Working Overtime tour then again two years later at the Universal Ampitheatre during The Force Behind the Power Tour.
It was then a five year break before returning to the Universal Ampitheatre for the Take Me Higher Tour.
Had tickets in the summer of 2000 for the Anaheim stop of the Return to Love tour with the Supremes which was canceled before it got to our stop. I was devastated!
It would be eight more years before I’d see Miss Ross live again and it was a spectacular concert at Hollywood Bowl in support of her first album in forever, I Love You.
Then in 2010, I got tickets to see the superstar at the Nokia for a wonderful concert of her many hits from Baby Love to Endless Love, from Where Did Our Love Go? to Why Do Fools Fall in Love? and from Reach Out and Touch to Touch Me in the Morning.
And let’s not forget Ain’t No Mountain High Enough, Upside Down, Love Hangover, Missing You, I’m Coming Out, Reflections, Stop! In the Name of Love, Where Did Our Love Go, Love Child and Do You Know Where You’re Going To?
Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us this time!

We were at a lot of the same Diana concerts. The one that was most memorable for the “Take Me Higher” tour. She blew it apart. All the producers from the album were in the audience, as was Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson. I have learned and witnessed whenever Berry Gordy is in the audience at any of her performances, she works as hard as if she was still an artist on his roster. Also, nothing, nothing matches her miraculous appearance at The Pantages after the “Return to Love” tour didn’t make it to Anaheim. She had something to prove that night and she took no prisoners.
Finally, her recent “More Today Than Yesterday” tour, the first leg, was also a return to form. The lady is a consummate pro. When her “Workin”’ Overtime” tour to Radio City, she called Whitney Houston on said, “that is why I am working overtime”. In reality, by 1989 for the “Workin Overtime” tour, she was passing the baton onto Whitney as the new Queen of Pop/Soul. Unfortunately, got lost along the way. And now Beyonce seems more befitting of that torch. However, there is a wonderful picture of Diana and Whitney on her Facebook page from that tour. They became friends, Whitney inducted her into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, paid homage to her on her “Whitney does the Classic” HBO special and hug each other touchingly at the Soul Train Hall of Fame show when Diana was inducted. Bittersweet memories!
