God, where to begin?... Brown Baby, Love Hangover, Save the Children, I'm Still Waiting, Theme from Mahogany, Chain Reaction... ALL her work with The Supremes. She's right up there with the all-time greats
Diana Ross and The Supremes went their separate ways in 1970 . Some of her songs - Some Day We’ll Be Together and Love Hangover. The Supremes Up The Ladder To The Roof and Stoned love.
Let's get this straight...Ms Ross had the most popular version of this song. Went to #1 pop. Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell had a perfectly fine Top 20 pop version of this before Ms Ross, but Ms Ross took it all the way to the top with the definitive version. Yes....and by the way Call Her Miss Ross!
Biz, you never listened to her songs? She's a legends! At least 5 decades of entertaining us. First with The Supremes, then solo. She also performed in We are the world next to MJ
This is perfection! The producton and vocal atrangement is just incredible an so different from the original Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell version. This is one of thoe song you have to listen to the long version to aporeciate! Just incredible.
Was the “Boss” before anyone claimed the title, yes she was! This was 🔥back when I was in Jr. High, blasting on every boom box around 🎶 Get it Biz! 👏🏻✌🏼next is Love Child
I love hearing this in a big stadium. It’s an anthem and the whole audience of every age stands and sings along. She is a living legend. There are not many left as they have been leaving us: Whitney, Tina, Donna, Natalie, and in a way Celine.
Right On! But the best version of Dusty On that song is th-cam.com/video/pn1metuYRmg/w-d-xo.html the others I found are people imitating her or something else!. I love Roberta Flack too! Saw her live in Dc . My favorites are The First Time and Jesse.
I'm not too familiar with her later solo work, not my taste exactly, however - great respect to Diana- what a voice. Abslutely LOVED the Soulful Motown sound of the SUPREMES ❤
This a great one to Biz ! Used to sneak in and spy on my sister and her boyfriend and now husband! They would be listening to this 55 years ago ! LOL !
This song is one long crescendo, gradually building up strength till it bursts free at the end. BizMatik isn't sure where it's going until 6:21 when he reaches his arm out in joyous acceptance, which was just the right move at the climax. Very nice to watch.
Oh yo I gots to get with you. First of all her catalog spans more than 50 years so yes it’s worth it. Your gut reaction was the same as Berry Gordy Jr and Valerie Simpson told him to just wait. There is another recording of this song by the late greats Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell. There’s was a billboard top ten. Diana Ross’ version here was a billboard number one. Her first solo. Do her catalog it’s worth it. Finally your honesty is appreciated
Yeah today the "speaking" part is so different. Back in '70 the context was different. "I'm gonna make you love me" was a #2 hit in 1968 (Diana Ross and the Supremes with the Temptations) and in it she speaks in duet with Otis Williams and her voice sparkles. After that Motown writers wanted to capitalize on it. It was unique, sexy, and sweet. There was nothing like it.
During her tenure with The Supremes, they covered this song (as a duet with The Temptatons). When Berry Gordy was preparing to launch her solo career 2 years later, he hired Ashford & Simpson -- whom had written the song -- to produce the album and pretty much gave them carte blanche. Since the song was popular and had been covered by numerous artists at this point, Ashford & Simpson wanted to take it a more "epic" creative direction. The lyrics were slightly re-worded, with an extra verse being added. It was decided that Ross would speak/narrate the verses instead of singing them. This new arrangement pushed the song past the standard 3 minute mark, with the album version clocking in at 6:19. Berry Gordy felt the song's length would harm it's chances of getting air time on radio stations, so he had an edited down 3:32 version sent out to radio stations as a promo 45rpm single. Ironically, most DJs preferred the full album version and the radio edit was rarely played.
I believe the original version is from Marvin Gaye but i only know the Diana Ross version that the version i grew up with, so yes I love Diana Ross and these couple days i'm listen very much to her albums again, and i'm still discovering many new songs from her older albums that I like now but didn't liked when i heard them for the first time so yes her music is very much worth it to discover, and i have too many favorite Diana Ross songs so where should i begin?. The Boss - Do You Know Where Your Going To - Home (from the movie The Wiz) - My Old Piano - Upside Down - Chain REaction - All Of You (with Julio Iglesias) - Swept Away - Every Time You Touched Me - Why Do Fools Fall In Love - It's My Turn - Last Time I Saw Him - Surrender - Touch Me In The Morning and many many more.....
Legendary composition written by then Motown staff writers Ashley and Simpson, and recorded first, by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. Diana Ross later, when just beginning her solo career, covered this, and hit it out of the park. Both version are off the charts. Watching a few of Diana Ross and the Supremes performances on the Ed Sullivan, reaffirmed what a dedicated performer Ross was, and how she worked the PR end of it like the professional she was. She is at the top of my list.
With the supremes: where did our love go,come see about me, baby love, stop in th name of love, you cant hurry love, love is here and now you're gone, reflections, love child, somedaywell be together. SOLO: Love hangover, the boss, reach out ill be there, take me higher, upside down, remember me, getting ready for love, swept away, chain reaction, its myhouse, touch me in the morning, mirror mirror, when you tell me that you love me, noone gets the prize, surrender, reach out and touch somebodys hand, pieces of ice, missing you, im still waiting, endless love
I think Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell might have done this song too. Maybe you heard that. Mad respect for Diana Ross. and her place in music history, her song The Boss is my favorite. Stoned Love is so good too. BUT the best River - Mountain song in my mind is River Deep - Mountain High by Ike & Tina Turner. Worth a listen for sure.
The song was massively "produced". Lots of overdubbing. Ross had recently gone solo and needed a huge hit to jumpstart her solo career. Motown pulled out all the stops. Written by some of the best: Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson
i think i've heard 6 different edits of this song... some without the intro... some skipping a verse... obviously to make it fit the 2-minute time frame AM radio.. but, there's a version of this song that makes my top 100 of ALL TIME...!!!!
Only one cover! The original was Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell...They took it top 20...maybe top 10. However, Diana Ross covered it and took it to Pop #1. The Boss!
Marvin Gaye & Tammie Terrell recorded the original version in the 60s. And of course, Diana's version followed in the 70s. The iconic songwriting husband and wife team of Nick Ashford (Rest in Peace) and Valerie Simpson wrote and produced both versions of the song for these Motown artists. Both versions, produced almost a decade apart, hit No.1 on the charts.
Hey Biz, hope everything's going well for you. I'm better and ready to make some suggestions, in case you're interested. Diana Ross was definitely a powerhouse among the female artists of her time. And since you've gotten so many great suggestions for more of her beautiful music, I'd like to suggest another female artist that I think you will truly enjoy giving a listen. Especially if you enjoy listening to jazz. This is a live performance "Diana Krall - I've Got You Under My Skin" (by the channel: Kehlog Albran) Now that I'm feeling much better, I'm really looking forward to your reactions. I've missed your fun breakdowns and can't wait to continue to keep great music a live 🎶💜
I strongly recommend a song where The Supremes and The Four Tops, two great groups, combined for one song (River Deep, Mountain High, long version). Here’s a link: m.th-cam.com/video/PaTP9VOAKuU/w-d-xo.html&pp=ygUrc3VwcmVtZXMgZm91ciB0b3BzIHJpdmVyIGRlZXAgbW91bnRhaW4gaGlnaA%3D%3D
Diana ? "IS her catalog worth.." If anyone is she is. Her catalog of amazing songs stretches decades.
Diana Ross is a huge yes! Love her with or without The Supremes.
God, where to begin?... Brown Baby, Love Hangover, Save the Children, I'm Still Waiting, Theme from Mahogany, Chain Reaction... ALL her work with The Supremes. She's right up there with the all-time greats
That's Miss Ross to you. A diva but worth it. Old time Motown, love it.
Respect 🙏 🫡 🤲
What a voice!!! One of the Queens of Music. Period!!
Someday we'll be together. This lady is the greatest......
This song is fire. She's a living legend. Love Hangover is a fire disco song of hers. Remember Me is another great one
Diana Ross is a superstar. Loved her Motown.
Motown is always worth diving into!
Anything she sings is great. ❤
Shes on another level
DIana is a legend and icon🎉
Diana Ross and The Supremes went their separate ways in 1970 . Some of her songs - Some Day We’ll Be Together and Love Hangover. The Supremes Up The Ladder To The Roof and Stoned love.

Yes....and by the way Call Her Miss Ross!
Fascinating tho how folks mostly know MG&TT version. More "commercial"? So when folks do hear this amazing version they are blown away.
I had a huge boyhood crush on Ms Diana Ross 😍 😳 😅
I've met Paul Riser, the Motown arranger extraordinaire, his work on this song is tremendous! The opening strings and the build up, heavenly!
He did the great arrangement of her version "Reach Out I'll be There"
Biz, Diana is definitely a talented singer and this song is a masterpiece, Motown is great music
Endless Love, Lionel Richie and Diana Ross( live at the awards show)
100%
Legend
Biz, you never listened to her songs? She's a legends! At least 5 decades of entertaining us. First with The Supremes, then solo. She also performed in We are the world next to MJ
Diana Ross is my personal favorite... It's the best 🎉 Luv U BizMatik n Ur reaction ❤️❤️❤️😍
Love Diana! those oh and ha. no one can do like Diana Ross.
Oh yes Diana surely was Supreme along with this and many more songs!
This is perfection! The producton and vocal atrangement is just incredible an so different from the original Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell version. This is one of thoe song you have to listen to the long version to aporeciate! Just incredible.
Amazing orchestration, amazing background singers
❤Diana who is the queen❤
Was the “Boss” before anyone claimed the title, yes she was! This was 🔥back when I was in Jr. High, blasting on every boom box around 🎶
Get it Biz! 👏🏻✌🏼next is Love Child

My hometown My Motown I will luv forever. Diana Ross and Steven Tyler share the same birthday
Miss Ross. Enough said,
WE GOT A WINNER HERE "IT MIGHT BE YOU" ROBERTA FLAK & AN OLD FAVORITE OF MINE IS LOOK OF LOVE, DUSTY SPRINGFIELD 2 CLASSIC'S 90'S & THE 60"S
Right On! But the best version of Dusty On that song is th-cam.com/video/pn1metuYRmg/w-d-xo.html the others I found are people imitating her or something else!. I love Roberta Flack too! Saw her live in Dc . My favorites are The First Time and Jesse.
Loved her in the movie, Lady Sings the Blues.

This a great one to Biz ! Used to sneak in and spy on my sister and her boyfriend and now husband! They would be listening to this 55 years ago ! LOL !
Listen to “Love Child”! That’s my favorite ❤
The song was written by the great Ashford and Simpson.
This song is one long crescendo, gradually building up strength till it bursts free at the end. BizMatik isn't sure where it's going until 6:21 when he reaches his arm out in joyous acceptance, which was just the right move at the climax. Very nice to watch.
Written by the great husband & wife duo Ashford & Simpson. They wrote many hits for Diana and other Motown artists and themselves.
I would like you to react to the video version of "Missing You" a tribute she did to the late, great Marvin Gaye.
Oh wait! I know you said you like beautiful shit. Listen to “Touch me in the morning”! It’s so beautiful!
That song is just… the most luxurious break up song ever
Oh yo I gots to get with you. First of all her catalog spans more than 50 years so yes it’s worth it. Your gut reaction was the same as Berry Gordy Jr and Valerie Simpson told him to just wait.

More Diana
Dude is feeling this epic tune

Bruh, i remember this song playing at my job like many years ago and we all broke out singing it !

Ahhh Biz, you took me back to my summers as a teenager ,in London
❤❤❤
The version you are Probably referring to is the one by Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell both great versions
Great song son.
The Supremes, Love Child
Diana solo, Do you know where you're going to.
Chain Reaction,(written by the Bee Gees)

More Diana...Video Home from Caesars Palace 1979
The version you probably heard is the one by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell. This was a remake.
Do her " Take Me Higher" video. You'll Love It.😊
I think Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell might have done this song too. Maybe you heard that.
Mad respect for Diana Ross. and her place in music history, her song The Boss is my favorite. Stoned Love is so good too.
BUT the best River - Mountain song in my mind is River Deep - Mountain High by Ike & Tina Turner. Worth a listen for sure.

Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell is my personal favorite
How can it be that you have not heard Diana Ross-- btw she has been constantly sampled in hip hop songs. Hit after hit they all sound different.
She must have a 'radio' version. Is this Diana Rap?
Only one cover! The original was Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell...They took it top 20...maybe top 10. However, Diana Ross covered it and took it to Pop #1. The Boss!

Nice emotional build-up in this song. Do "Missing You," her tribute to Marvin. th-cam.com/video/-HYNiwtbxgo/w-d-xo.html
Try ‘You Were The One’ from Diana Ross, I beg you.
Hey Biz, hope everything's going well for you. I'm better and ready to make some suggestions, in case you're interested. Diana Ross was definitely a powerhouse among the female artists of her time.
