When your all-star Detroit concert opens with none other than Miss Diana Ross gliding down the stage catwalk in an enormous cloud of orange chiffon singing “I’m Coming Out,” you are setting the bar high from the jump — especially if you’re kicking off an event with Eminem, Jack White, Jelly Roll, Common and many others.
She is Diana Ross, daughter of the Brewster Projects, queen of Motown, representing some of the city’s glorious past on two levels: She is here in front Michigan Central train station as part of “Live from Detroit: The Concert,” a celebration of the reopening of the gorgeously refurbished building on Thursday evening. She graced the crowd with “Upside Down” and a new song before closing her set with the legendary “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough,”her legendary 1967 duet with the late, legendary fellow Motown-ite Marvin Gaye.
