The Supremes singer hails from Detroit, Michigan.

Ironically, contestants accidentally insulted her age on “Jeopardy!”.

[{"selector":"#anim-842ab21a-7be4-4e5c-82b9-fbbd399a9458","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-7c2d436a-dc5b-4416-a100-72401ff6aff1","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-609e0062-fd86-436d-9bb8-a17c421ddc73","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Last Monday, contestants were asked about a record-breaking 95-year-old singer.

[{"selector":"#anim-cbdb8f71-36ac-458c-88b6-8950e9d8c4a4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6b7406e4-51f7-404a-92e5-1dbaa19a66f6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f69f700-d32e-4072-a2d1-c3a4a46afc80","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Not one but two contestants wrote down Diana Ross!

[{"selector":"#anim-5f94d808-da66-49d0-8e61-ca2bfb343761","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-9315f05a-ec3b-4e34-aca1-7b2bdd47de9a","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e4f38088-bb3f-45ba-8466-ef8ae9fde2f4","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The fan backlash was swift and brutal online.

[{"selector":"#anim-2e2349d6-6067-4233-af3c-fe2ea9a9eeee","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-c828ea08-9f39-4275-8703-e74f7a3af273","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-a97aa56a-0d55-4b25-8a2c-773579014346","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

The two contestants quickly apologized, saying they just wanted to write down something.

[{"selector":"#anim-1c6f12f0-7667-42d6-b66a-8923a6dff68a","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-ce266a2c-2d66-421b-b085-83b2b45e32ee","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-64629179-3ce6-4aaf-b1f9-15fd522a4ef2","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

However, by Ross’ birthday on Saturday, the age insult seemed mostly forgotten.

[{"selector":"#anim-4da1d50b-b5df-436a-aa37-de07c330fa60","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-02462a0f-6b8c-4f0e-aa05-9da476e21cd5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(114.82649%, 0px, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":200,"duration":1200,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4709749f-28fb-4a12-8de9-c84028cc3c73","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":2000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

Many fans flocked to social media to wish the icon a happy birthday!
