Being Diana Ross!

I never thought I would do a Tribute Show, but now that I've developed 'Supremely, Diana Ross' I'm wondering why I waited so long to do it!  I performed the first show back in September at The Old Vic and was immediately addicted to taking on the persona of such an iconic entertainer. Yesterday I was watching Oprah, Behind The Scenes and they were featuring the show where Diana Ross was appearing.  I was really struck by the fact that Oprah Winfrey felt just as indebted to Miss Ross as I do for being a trailblazer for showing black beauty to the world!

Here's what I wrote in my bio about Diana Ross ...

Twenty-five years ago when Gloria first started performing professionally she didn’t know that she would be paying tribute to the woman who had paved the way for her all those years ago; but now Gloria realizes that everything she’s done before has been preparing her for the moment that she would become Supremely, Diana Ross! Maybe the desire to do a Tribute to Miss Ross was Gloria’s way of saying thank you for breaking through racial barriers and stereotypes, to allow countless others to have the opportunity to share their gifts and talents.

Since I've been promoting Supremely, Diana Ross I have come to realize how loved Miss Ross is by pretty much everybody. The response has been amazing. I have several shows booked through the end of the year and a few already booked in for next year.  For my next performance of the tribute show, I'll be backed by my fabulous function band, 'Move On Up! for our a special Christmas performance at The Jolly Sailor on Saturday, December 14th! The first set will be the tribute show followed by a 2nd set of upbeat party music ... two shows in one!!

I really enjoy paying tribute to Diana Ross and giving my inner Diva a platform to shine! In addition to performing the show solo or with Move On Up, I am also developing the show to be performed with a 10-piece orchestra and will be touring the show next year to include theatres across the UK and cruise ships. I will keep you posted as the tour takes shape!
