DEF: Diana Ross “I’m Coming Out”
Among the three songs from Diana Ross’ 1980 album Diana that hit the Top 10 on Billboard‘s Hot 100 chart, the first song, “Upside Down,” was the biggest hit, but the second song, “I’m Coming Out,” has the more lasting cultural significance, as it has become an LGBT pride anthem. Exactly 40 years ago, “I’m Coming Out” climbed to a peak position of number 5.
