Diana Ross: Breakfast With Lady Diana
Vivien Goldman, Sounds, 20 March 1976
THIS IS the story: it's a champagne breakfast for Diana Ross, being held at a Top London Hotel. Which means that everybody drags in bleary-eyed but spruced up to meet this queen of chic, and tucks into champers topped up with bacon, sausage, scrambled egg, and a dash of croissants with marmalade.
