It comes after the Dianna Ross released her first music video in more than a decade last week when she released Thank You.

The mother-of-five said: “My sons gave me the confidence and encouragement to make this video.
“After spending almost two years not performing and not being in front of the camera, they supported me in easing back into being around lots of people.
“These three people really took care of me: Evan Ross (producer), Amanda Demme (director), Ross Naess (photography), and so many others.
“I am filled with appreciation for the work that they all did to make this happen.”
