Diana Ross
Photography by Barrie Wentzell
“I was shooting some pictures during the taping of Top of the Pops and had popped up to the rooftop bar during a break. Diana was sitting at a table talking to a reporter from the Melody Maker and I asked her if it was okay to take a few pictures of her while she was being interviewed. She smiled and said that it would be fine. After she left, the reporter suggested that I send some pictures to the Melody Maker, which I did never thinking that they would be used. The following Wednesday I saw the paper at my local newsstand and there was my photo on the front page along with my name credited, Wow!”
