About Diana Ross

With a career spanning over six decades it’s inconceivable to think Diana Ross has never performed a full-length concert in Hawaii. That’s all about to change as Ms. Ross brings her magical live stage production to The Islands. The concert is a complete theatrical experience, filled with breathtaking costumes, an elegant stage design, and a massive catalog of hit songs, such as “Stop! In the Name of Love”, “Touch Me in the Morning”, and “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” Reviews have been stellar for her recent shows, proving that the icon of stage and screen is still in her prime. The Star-Telegram in Texas raves: “Diana Ross held the fortunate (audience)…in the palm of her hand from the beginning, and never let them go.” As the star herself has stated, “My interaction is with the audience on a one-to-one. I always try to see their faces and try to see their eyes. It’s that harmonious vibration, good energy that flows between the audience and myself and the band and the music. Music is like love. It feels good. It’s about sharing. Music is like the heartbeat of our world.”

Diana Ross has had a profound influence on pop culture all around the world. She’s an Academy Award-nominated actress for her unforgettable role as Billie Holiday in Lady Sings the Blues; a Tony and Golden Globe winner; a bestselling author; the winner of eight American Music Awards, as well as a Grammy Award for lifetime achievement; and a recipient of The Kennedy Center Honors. Her reputation as a woman of great style and beauty has landed her on the covers of hundreds of magazines. Ms. Ross has sold over 100 million records and recorded 18 #1 hits. Her music became the sound of young America in the ‘60s soon after she signed with Motown Records in 1961 with The Supremes. She embarked on her extraordinary solo career in 1970 and has not stopped since.

Diana Ross sings the soundtrack of our lives—a true musical treasure. You don’t want to miss this rare opportunity to see “The Entertainer of the Century” (as proclaimed by Billboard Magazine) when she performs her first concerts in Hawaii.

Diana Ross returns to Golden Gate Theatre

Diana Ross returns to Golden Gate Theatre

Steve Jennings

Diana Ross, shown here performing at the Golden Gate Theatre in 2011, will return to the venue for a two-day engagement starting Tuesday, Aug. 6. DIANA ROSS

By Aidin Vaziri

July 28, 2013

Diana Ross is all about living in the moment. In her first major interview in nearly a decade, the Queen of Motown glossed over the usual questions about her past and emphasized her immense joy for where her life is right now. Conveniently, that includes a six-week North American tour that marks her return to the relatively intimate Golden Gate Theatre for shows on Aug. 6 and 7. With her, the 69-year-old singer who once performed for nearly a half million people in New York’s Central Park brings a succession of pop hits spanning decades and genres, plus the fantastical outfits to match.

Q: The last time you played the Golden Gate Theatre, it felt like such a celebration. Do you feel like you have a special connection with your fans in San Francisco?

A: First of all, I’m hoping that every one of my performances feels like a celebration. The reason why I tour is because it’s exciting. Touring, to me, is like each place, even though I’m returning, it feels brand new. It’s like a new adventure. I tour because I enjoy it, and I’m having fun. I love to sing. It makes me feel good, and I do hope that the audience shares in that feel-good feeling. Not just for me enjoying it, but I have a wonderful backing band – a rhythm section and horns and singers. We just have a good time on the stage. We really have fun.

Q: What’s your biggest responsibility when you’re onstage?

A: When I am performing, I wear many different hats. What I mean by that is, I’m also the producer, the organizer. I am also the parent or mother on the road because I care about everyone and I want to make sure they’re all well. So I try to take care of them. The mothering part of me becomes very much a part of the actual touring.

I also have made really good friends with everyone that I travel with. My keyboard player has been with me the longest. My drummer and bass player are really the backbone of the entire band. I mean, they’re like the heartbeat. They keep us filled with love and enjoying the whole process.

So I’m involved in the selection of the music and, of course, my costumes, and the lighting and the setting, and the interaction between my band and the audience. I have always been very interested in the precision of the work – the harmony of what we do. It all has to work together.

Q: What were your first impressions of the city when you played the Venetian Room at the Fairmont Hotel with the Supremes in the ’60s?

A: I have always loved San Francisco. It is beautiful. I have always had fond memories of being there, even in the ’60s with the Supremes.

Steve Jennings

Diana Ross appears at the Golden Gate Theatre in 2011. DIANA ROSS 9/16/11 Golden Gate Theater, San Francisco, Ca.

Q: Having become accustomed to performing in stadiums, do you enjoy the challenge of playing smaller rooms?

A: I’m very clear – it does not matter to me if I’m in a stadium with thousands of people or in a much smaller venue. My interaction is with the audience on a one-to-one. I always try to see their faces and try to see their eyes. I perform and sing to them.

It’s usually never about us and the audience. It’s that harmonious vibration, good energy that flows back and forth between the audience and myself and the band and the music. It’s a wonderful thing about music. Music is like love. It feels good. It’s about sharing. It’s very special. Music is like the heartbeat of our world.

Q: Looking back on your career, it seems as if you never did things simply for the money – you were always motivated by pushing things forward creatively. Do you still have the same relationship with your work?

A: I do what I do, No. 1, because I love it. I really, since I was a little girl, have always loved to sing and perform. The one thing I have never understood is searching for fame. You do the work that you do – and, by the way, I almost cannot call it work – you do what you do because you love it. Most musicians are all the same as this. They’re not doing what they do to become “famous.”

I have said in the past, fame is not a career. Your career is to share of your God-given gift. That is the thing that makes you happy. We get a chance to perform our passion – to do the thing that we love.

Q: How do you manage to keep the standards, such as “Where Did Our Love Go?” and “Baby Love,” fresh for yourself and different audiences?

A: Every time I do music from the early days or music like that, it’s just the song itself or the music itself – it has melody and it just resonates with all audiences. And when I’m performing it, they become like a brand-new song.

Q: You’ve embraced Gloria Gaynor’s “I Will Survive.” What is it about that song that speaks to you?

A: I like the song “I Will Survive.” I like the song that I do, “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” I like songs that give positive images, that are positive totally in nature about the thoughts and the thinking behind the song.

I just think that’s where I really like to stay for myself, personally, in my choice of songs. They are positive thoughts. These songs, by the way, the energy that happens between the audience and myself is just phenomenal. It’s very positive. It’s exciting. I love watching them enjoy what we are offering. It’s really very special.

Q: How would you like to be remembered?

A: I have always felt that it is more important to stay present, to stay in the moment, to stay now. I never try to think about legacy and being remembered. For me, if I could live a good life now, if I could do the things that bring me joy, if I could enjoy my children and enjoy the weather or whatever it might be, that is love and that is my life.

As far as my stage show, I’ve always tried to keep the emphasis on the music. I want very much, when the audience comes in to see the show, there’s a good sound. If we keep our attention on presenting good music with a good sound and, of course, good visuals, that is really what the show is all about. It’s about the music people come to hear and to have their own private, personal memories about each of the songs.

That is really the exciting part of being onstage at this time in my life.

Diana Ross: 8 p.m. Aug. 6-7. $70-$265. Golden Gate Theatre, 1 Taylor St., S.F. (888) 746-1799. www.shnsf.com.

With more than 100 million albums sold, Olivia’s successes include four Grammy Awards, numerous Country Music, American Music and People’s Choice Awards, an Emmy Award, ten #1 hits including “Physical,” which topped the charts for ten consecutive weeks, and over 15 top 10 singles. (In September 2008, Billboard Magazine listed “Physical” at #6 on their Top 100 Songs of All Time list and in 2010 listed it as “The Sexiest Song of All Time”.)

 

In 1978, her co-starring role with John Travolta in “Grease” catapulted Olivia into super-stardom. This film’s best-selling soundtrack featured the duets “You’re The One That I Want” and “Summer Nights,” with Travolta, as well as her mega-hit, “Hopelessly Devoted To You.”

 

Adding author to her already impressive career, Olivia’s new cookbook, LivWise: Easy Recipes for a Healthy, Happy Life was recently released and all of her royalties will benefit the Olivia Newton-John Cancer and Wellness Centre in her hometown of Melbourne, Australia. As a breast cancer “thriver,” Olivia is thrilled that the Centre will opens its doors to patients on July 2, 2012 – almost 20 years to the day from her own cancer diagnosis.

SONOMA COUNTY, CA. ( JULY 23, 2012) — Northern California based concert promoters Rick Bartalini Presents announced that Bill Maher, comedian and host of Real Time on HBO, will perform two special pre-election concerts at the new world-class Weill Hall at Sonoma State University in Rohnert Park on October 20 and Santa Cruz Civic Auditorium on October 21

 

Along with the top-rated HBO hit “Real Time” and a new bestselling book of his iconic “New Rules,” Maher has amassed an online following of more than 2.3 million dedicated followers and fans.  For the last seventeen years, Bill Maher has set the boundaries of where funny, political talk can go on American television.  First on “Politically Incorrect” (Comedy Central,  ABC, 1993-2002), and for the last nine years on HBO’s “Real Time,” Maher’s combination of unflinching honesty and big laughs have garnered him twenty-seven Emmy nominations.  In October of 2008, this same combination was on display in Maher’s uproarious and unprecedented swipe at organized religion, “Religulous,” directed by Larry Charles (“Borat”). The documentary has gone on to become the 8th Highest Grossing Documentary ever.  In addition to his television program – Maher has written four bestsellers: “True Story,” “Does Anybody Have a Problem with That?  Politically Incorrect’s Greatest Hits,” “When You Ride Alone, You Ride with Bin Laden” and most recently, “New Rules: Polite Musings from a Timid Observer.”
