Diana Ross will be honored at the 2017 American Music Awards with the Lifetime Achievement Award, Dick Clark Productions and ABC announced on Wednesday.
Ross has won several American Music Awards, and hosted the show in both 1986 and 1987. The award will recognize Ross’ artistic contributions to the entertainment industry and popular culture.
“I have endless memories of all the years that I have appeared on the American Music Awards,” Ross said in a statement. “It started with Dick Clark and The Caravan of Stars and American Bandstand. It was Dick Clark who said, ‘Music is the soundtrack of our lives.’ So true. I am so excited to be receiving this honorable award.”
The nominees for the 2017 American Music Awards were announced last week. Viewers can vote for their favorite artist in each category here. The live broadcast from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles is set for Sunday, November 19, at 8 pm ET on ABC.
