DianaRoss, born in 1944, American popular singer, one of the most influential recording artists of the Motown era (1960s) and the disco period of rhythm-and-blues (R&B) music (late 1970s to early 1980s).
Known for her seductive vocal style and glamorous appearance, Ross helped her vocal group the Supremes become one of the most successful acts in the history of popular music.
Ross and the Supremes were at the center of media attention in the mid-1960s, with Ross especially taking on a larger-than-life persona in her array of dress wigs and glitzy gowns.
In January 1970 Diana left the Supremes for a solo career; her replacement in the group and as lead singer was Jean Terrell, the sister of boxer Ernie Terrell.
Diana does a good job of sounding as sad as the narrator who is asking her man why he is leaving her and begging him not to.
Eddie sings all of the first verse; Diana sings all of the second verse; on the third verse, the Temps' bass singer, Melvin Franklin, sings the first line, Diana sings the second line, and Eddie sings the rest.
