Advantages: These are three of Diana Ross' best albums Disadvantages: NONE!
.... She immediatley turned to the genius combination behind Chic, Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers - the hottest R&B producers of the day. It was decided to mould the traditional DianaRoss sound into mainstream Funk/R&B/Disco. DianaRoss was certainly no stranger to great, jamming dance music, having hit No.1 on the Pop and R&B Charts in 1976 with the exciting Love Hangover (which became one of the most innovative R&B/Disco classics of the decade) and enjoying Top 20 success with the magnificent The Boss in 1979. It seemed a logical step and indeed proved a very fruitful collaboration even though the diana album did not go by without its fair share of problems!
Having heard the finished result of the album, Diana immediatley felt as though her vocals were pushed too far into the background and said that she felt as though she sounded like...

Advantages: Every track is a WINNER! Disadvantages: None!
...By the end of the 1970's DianaRoss' recording career was back on shaky ground. Her studio albums, the excellent Baby It's Me (1977) and the hodge podge production of Ross (1978) had sold disappointingly.

...) and The Boss (1979). Though The Boss was a critical and commercial success, her studio albums before that, Ross (1978) and the fabulous Baby Its Me (1977) were not big sellers and both bombed in the U.K, failing to chart altogether.
What DianaRoss felt she needed to bring her somewhat flagging career up to date was a swift change of direction. She immediatley turned to the genius combination behind Chic, Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers - the hottest R&B producers of the day. It was decided to mould the traditional DianaRoss sound into mainstream Funk/R&B/Disco.
