The fan-voted American Music Awards 2017 celebrated 45 years of music live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday night. It was televised live on ABC and hosted by Tracee Ellis Ross, star of ABC’s “black-ish.” The awards show became a family affair when Tracee and her family presented the American Music Award for Lifetime Achievement to Tracee’s mother, Motown legend Diana Ross.
