Diana Ross will be presented with the Lifetime Achievement Award at the Grammys this weekend, but after all the hard work she put into the music industry, is that enough? Despite helping crafts hits such as “Baby Love” and “Stop In the Name of Llove with The Supremes, the legendary Ross has never brought a Grammy home. The Los Angeles Times reports:

Though nominated 12 times for her work with the Supremes and for her solo efforts, the singer behind pop classis such as “Baby Love” and “Upside Down” has never taken home the award.

This Saturday, she will be presented with a Lifetime Achievement Award by the Recording Academy along with Gil Scott-Heron, the Allman Brothers, Glen Campbell, George Jones, Antonio Carlos Jobim and the Memphis Horns, at an invitation-only ceremony the night before the Grammy telecast. Given her stature and the unmatched breadth of her work, it seems a wan consolation prize.
