I woke up this morning and chose DIANA ROSS.

Now THAT is an album

Well, it isn’t TECHNICALLY from that, it was recorded a few years earlier and featured as a bonus track on the amazing two disc deluxe reissue that came out in the 00s.

But I TAKE YOUR POINT.
 
I know '80s Diana was HIT & MISS
And I'm sure this one is considered to be more of a MISS
But sometimes I do love a bit of DIRTY LOOKS

IMPROMPTU DIANA SOLO ALBUM RANK (deep breath):

1. Diana
2. The Boss
3. Diana Ross (1976)
4. Diana and Marvin
5. Everything Is Everything
6. Baby It's Me
7. Ross (1978)
8. Swept Away
9. Diana Ross (1970)
10.Last Time I Saw Him
11.Surrender
12.Ross (1983)
13.Eaten Alive
14.Touch Me In The Morning
15.The Force Behind The Power
16.Blue
17.Silk Electric
18.Why Do Fools Fall In Love
19.Workin' Overtime
20.Take Me Higher
21.Red Hot Rhythm And Blues
22.Every Day Is A New Day
23.I Love You
24.Thank You (albeit I listened once, thought "DROSS" (pun intended) and moved on...)
25.A Very Special Season

And I own every single of them except "Thank You" in some format, and everything up to "Red Hot Rhythm and Blues" on vinyl, plus The Force Behind The Power.
 
I would say the top 12 in my list are all ABSOLUTELY ESSENTIAL.

13-19 have great moments but some serious filler creeping in.

19-20 lifted by a couple of good songs.

21 onwards is pretty much dreck with the odd shining moment (pun intended).
 
Also, this is a fun little modern update on some of the classics:

But to be honest, it could have been SO MUCH MORE.

Honestly

What a CATALOGUE

What a WOMAN!!!
 
The good thing about Ms ROSS' vinyl catalogue (and hopefully @Sheena can ATTEST) is that it's widely available in 2nd hand shops / online etc. for relatively good prices.

Indeed, the 70s stuff at least. I reckon Touch Me In The Morning is one of my top 5 seen records ever- always for a quid or so.

She was chosen for the Saint Laurent campaign. I seem to remember she has an old relationship with this fashion house.
