Soul heroine DIANA ROSS was born, named Diane Ernestine Ross on
26 March 1944, in Detroit, Michigan. Happy 80 to a supreme soul artist.

She entertained several generations. She stared her career with The Primettes, but
2 years later the girls trio were rebaptized The Supremes and scored 12 Number One
hits (written by iconic songsmith machine team Holland–Dozier–Holland) in the US and
sold millions of copies outside their home country. They were one of the biggest acts
of legendary label Motown.

Diana Ross left the group in 1970 to pursue a magnificent
solo career with 22 solo LP’s and a series of hit singles.

Waking Up With… DIANA ROSS And TAME IMPALA Bringing THE MOTOWN SOUND Back

Posted on by JL

Works faster than caffeine

Soul diva DIANA ROSS and sugary synth-pop
act TAME IMPALA (read Kevin Parker), together? Yes.
What, when, how?

The song is titled TURN UP THE SUNSHINE and is
written by producing superstar Jack Antonoff, Sam Dew,
Patrik Berger and Kevin Parker.

It will feature on the soundtrack of upcoming, animated comedy movie
Minions: The Rise Of Gru , part of the Despicable Me franchise, out July 1.

On first hearing, it sounds like this is a lost Diana Ross/Motown song from
the 70s with The Temptations taking care of the harmonies/backing vocals.
On second hearing, it still sounds the same way as the first time. It will stay
that way, undoubtedly.

Time to get up and
shake your booty…
