We hear a symphony

The legendary Diana Ross is set to perform with the Baton Rouge Symphony Orchestra for its 10th anniversary celebration Feb. 8—a show that sold out in just a few short weeks. We asked a few locals to share their favorite tunes from Ms. Ross’ career:


“You Keep Me Hangin’ On” (The Supremes)
“The passion behind Diana’s voice in those lyrics should resonate with any woman who’s ever been in love, lost, and can’t let go. I can definitely relate, and anyone who has seen U4ria perform knows I love a good angry woman song!”


“Good Morning Heartache”

“While I love all her hits, I really love her version of “Good Morning Heartache.” It’s great to hear her sing that old standard.”


“Someday We’ll Be Together” (Diana Ross and The Supremes)

“It delivers all the promise that pop music offers: love, the fulfillment of desire, and that everything is going to be all right. I can not think of a more perfect way to spend 3 minutes and 30 seconds.”

We asked some staff members and our readers via Facebook and Twitter to give us their favorite Diana Ross song. Here are the songs you chose:

1. “Upside Down”
2. “Love Child”
3. “My Mistake (Was To Love You)”
4. “You Can’t Hurry Love”
5. “Someday We’ll Be Together”
6. “Love Hangover”
7. “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”
8. “Where Did Our Love Go”
9. “The Boss”
10. “Endless Love”
11. “Touch Me In The Morning”
12. “Do You Know Where You’re Going To”
13. “You Keep Me Hangin’ On”
14. “Missing You”
15. “I’m Coming Out”
