How crazy is this: Diana Ross — the Diana Ross, of '60s girl trio The Supremes — is coming to Harrah’s Cherokee Casino and Hotel. And not just for the buffet. As Smoky Mountain News reported today, "In a career spanning more than 40 years, Diana Ross has proven herself to be one of the most iconic female singers of all time. ...Ross has had 12 No. 1 singles."

Correction:
Twelve #1's with the Supremes and the following as a solo artist:
Ain’t No Mountain High Enough
Touch Me In The Morning
Do You Know Where You’re Going To
Love Hangover
Upside Down
Endless Love
And If you want to count "We Are the World" it's a stretch.
