Before going solo Ross was a member of perhaps the most successful girl group ever, The Supremes. During her time with the group Ross enjoyed 10 number one singles in less than three years.
While her solo career was not a bust, she never saw the same success she had had when she was with the group. Before the 1986 hit, her last number one was I'm Still Waiting, which was released in 1971
