Diana Ross stole the show at the 2019 Grammys with an incredible medley of hits.
The Supremes icon marked her 75th birthday next month with a special performance at the annual ceremony, with a fantastic rendition of 'The Best Years of My Life' and 'Reach Out And Touch (Somebody’s Hand)'.
Diana Ross was first welcomed to the stage by her 9-year-old grandson Raif-Henok Emmanuel Kendrick, who said his “grandmummy” has “shown the world that nothing is beyond her reach.”

Ross then appeared in a flowing crimson gown, explaining her passion for music: “When I was a little girl, I felt the joy of singing. It made me happy and made my parents happy."
She then belted out her debut solo single, 'Reach Out And Touch'. As she then walked through the crowd, she asked audience members to sing into her mic, with Will Smith's son Jaden Smith among those who obliged.
Ross finished with an inspirational message: “Learn, dream, unlock new doors. All is possible.”
