Diana Ross – The Greatest (Ltd Edn Clear Vinyl 2LP)

Icon. Diva. Legend. The Boss. The Greatest. Diana Ross is an artist deserving of all these accolades and then some. Since her pioneering days in The Supremes – still the most successful girl group in history – through a dazzling solo career spanning six decades – she has consistently delivered truly era-defining music. From the Supremes years came monster hits such as ‘Baby Love’ and ‘You Can’t Hurry Love’, while her solo career on Motown and beyond has embraced among others, silver-toned soul – ‘Ain’t No Mountain High Enough’, ‘I’m Still Waiting’, ‘Surrender’; milestone ballads – ‘Touch Me In The Morning’, and the duets with Marvin Gaye (‘You Are Everything’) and Lionel Richie (‘Endless Love’) – delicious disco – ‘Love Hangover’, ‘The Boss’ and the Nile Rogers-produced ‘I’m Coming Out’ and ‘Upside Down’ – and chart-conquering pop – ‘Chain Reaction’, ‘It’s My House’, and ‘Why Do Fools Fall In Love’.
