Book Reviews of A Lifetime To Get Here: Diana Ross: The American Dreamgirl
Book Review: That one star reviewer is an idiot. Robert L. Frazier is a lying, cheating traitor!
Summary: 5 Stars
I am Jonathon Taylor.
I have been moved to write this after reading the one star review below. Robert L. Frazier is a jackass who believes the lies of that backstabbing traitor known as Mary Wilson, and he wants to try and tear Diana Ross down, but he should know that it's not going to work.
I'm glad that I read this book, and I have to say that the author has done a great job in this book. The continuous trashing of Mary Wilson was well deserved. You know why? Mary Wilson was a backstabbing, jealous, angry, bitter person who blamed Diana Ross for her own actions.
Also, Diana Ross's treatment of Martha Reevs, and all the others was well deserved, because they were not as talented as she was. I was glad that Miss Ross walked all over Mary Wilson to get to where she is today, because Mary Wilson never had a solo number one hit. Also Florence Ballard was the one to blame for her downfall. That's because, she chose to drink, and not show up at sessions. The author reveals all of this, and it is nothing but the truth...the absolute truth!
This book reveals this legends growth as an artist, and as a woman, and praises her, and gives Miss Ross the credit she deserves, and I agree when I say that it was long overdue.
and, last but not least, the "Return To Love" tour failed because Mary Wilson didn't want to perform with Diana Ross. Mary Wilson was a very bitter person who butchers songs that she made famous, and does not take responsibility for her actions. This book comes highly recommended.
Note: That one star review below was written by an angry, bitter Supremes fan named Robert L. Frazier. Pay him no mind. He would slit his rists to protect Mary Wilson from the truth. I want all of you Diana Ross fans to leave bitter comments to his reviews.
Summary of A Lifetime To Get Here: Diana Ross: The American Dreamgirl
This unauthorized biography of entertainment legend Diana Ross strives to give a balanced account of her life and career while giving her the historical due that seems to have escaped her previously. Captured in vivid detail are her groundbreaking performances leading the Supremes, the renowned concert in Central Park amidst a raging thunderstorm, and the peaks and valleys of the more than 40 years of her ongoing stage, studio, and screen career. The book steers clear of dry biography, in that it is interspersed with entertaining essays that capture the effect her life and career have had on fans throughout the years. This book is a must-read for anyone with an appreciation for popular culture over the last half century.Actors & Actresses Books
