Her turn at the Jubilee concert this weekend reminded us of a great Diana Ross story we heard over lockdown, but didn't have a chance to tell more widely.
Many years ago, a music magazine landed an exclusive photoshoot with Ms Ross. Despite being braced for all sorts of crazy demands from the legendary diva, she only really had two.
The first was that, after the shoot, she insisted on staying while the negatives were developed and a contact sheet hurriedly printed for her approval.
The second was for a single cigarette. Despite not being a regular smoker, she asked the editor for one. Then, lit fag in hand, she carefully inspected every contact. And if she wasn't happy with one, she would burn a neat little hole right through the negative.
