Diana Ross to Perform, be Honored at American Music Awards

by Associated Press

   LOS ANGELES --

   Diana Ross will receive a lifetime achievement honor at next month's
   [1]American Music Awards and will celebrate with a performance on the
   broadcast next month.

   ABC and Dick Clark Productions announced the honor Wednesday. It's the
   first time the AMAs have given out the award since 2006, when it was
   presented to Sting. Previous winners include Elvis Presley, Frank
   Sinatra, Ella Fitzgerald and Michael Jackson.
   The 73-year-old Ross tells The Associated Press of the honor: "It took
   a lifetime to get here, I'm not going anywhere ... It's been a
   wonderful journey for me of joy and much appreciation."
   The Motown legend and former Supremes singer has performed at the AMAs
   several times and hosted the show twice.
   The AMAs will air live on ABC from Los Angeles on Sunday, Nov. 19.
