LOS ANGELES _ Diana Ross celebrated her lifetime achievement award Sunady at the 2017 American Music Awards with a jubilant, career-spanning medley.
In what's become her signature grand entrance, the pop diva arrived to the tune of her 1980 Nile Rodgers-produced anthem, "I'm Coming Out."
With a career that spans nearly 60 years, Ross had a tough task on her hands during her 10-minute segment. She opted for '90s tunes such as "Take Me Higher" and "The Best Years of My Life" alongside signature hits "Ain't No Mountain High Enough" and "Ease on Down the Road" from "The Wiz."
"You are everything to me," Ross told the audience at Microsoft Theater before she was joined onstage by her children, grandchildren and Motown legends Berry Gordy and Smokey Robinson.
Her son Evan Ross and daughter Rhonda Ross Kendrick helped give their mother the night's highest honor.
"You blazed a way," said Ross Kendrick. "Not just for women. Not just for black folks. Not just for entrepreneurs who want to control their own destiny. But for all of us."
"This is all about love ... I feel so humbled by this," Ross said while accepting the award.
