All The Great Love Songs - Diana Ross

Advantages: These are three of Diana Ross' best albums
Disadvantages: NONE!

...builds to the chrous. Ross smartly moves along to the sharp grooves and pumping, pulsating rhythms. Riotously funky! The Boss stands as one of her best ever Disco classics ranking alongside other such renowned greats in the Ross catologue, Love Hangover (No.1 Pop/R&B 1976), Upside Down (No.1 Pop/R&B 1980) and I'm Coming Out (No.5 Pop/No.1 R&B 1980). The Boss like No One Gets The Prize enjoyed mammoth club success though disappointingly only made it to No.19 on the U.S Billboard Charts (No.40 in the U.K.), despite being one of her all-time major classics. The entrancing Once In The Morning, a hypnotic Funk-Disco affair, found Ross back in Love Hangover mode as the song somehow re-captures the vibe of that track. Ross delivers a hot, breathy, erotic performance as she neatly surfboards along the somewhat complex musical arrangements. Once... Read review

...?) will eat humble pie on just one listen of her impressively strong, seemingly acrobatic performance on the raging Disco masterpiece, The Boss. She begins the song in a breathy, seamless sound and then effectively alters vocal pitch as the second verse builds to the chrous.

Advantages: The exalting soul classic, Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Disadvantages: None!

...of the American charts whilst landing in at No.6 in the U.K. There were surprisingly no other singles issued from the excellent Diana Ross (1970) album but thats certainly not to say that there weren't any other tracks worthy of release as a single. A spine-tingling version of Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrells' You're All I Need To Get By was a great experiment for the Diana Ross sound. The depth, character and drama ih her soft, intricate voice pours out on this terrific number. Ross puts in a stellar performance on You're All I Need To Get By and Ross' version even surpasses the Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell version. Now That There's You was another commercially slanted number that remained hidden away on this album. Ultimately a feel-good number, Ross' performance sways from moments of vulnreability to shining self-assurance. These Things... Read review
