Groundbreaking Female Performers

Three early performers clearly stand out from the rest (Josephine Baker, Dorothy Dandridge and Diana Ross), but it was Diana Ross (on the right) that essentially set the standard for today's star. As the lead singer for the Supremes, she had 12 number-one singles (second only to the Beatles), and sold over 150 million records as a member of the Supremes and as a solo artist.
