This week, the week of March 7-11, 2016, we will be looking at songs from solo artists after they left their own groups.

We call it:  "Splitsville"

March 7, 2016

This week marks the 46th anniversary of Diana Ross performing as a solo artist for the first time.  So let's look at those brave souls who stepped out of the comfort of a group and struck out on their own!

Today we will start with the original diva: Diana Ross.

A founding member (and the leader singer) of The Supremes, Ms. Ross went solo in 1970 with her self titled debut album which produced two top 20 hits and number one song on the Hot 100.

Written by Ashford and Simpson the song had reached the top 20 when recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell in 1967.
