But that wasn’t the only demand, according to a source, who claimed the “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” singer said “she would do the Motown show ONLY if she got a spot on the Grammy Awards the week before!”

The shocking demands would come as no surprise to Mary, who griped in her memoir, Dreamgirl: My Life as a Supreme that Diana “always liked to be the center of attention.”

So far, Diana, Stevie Wonder, 68, and Smokey Robinson, 79, are the only Motown performers confirmed for the broadcast, which will air on CBS on April 21, according to sources.
Gladys Knight is also in the running to appear — especially given her powerhouse national anthem performance at this year’s Super Bowl.
