I would have to go throgh my record collection for details, I can't even remember all the titles. Anyway, some that immediately come to mind are:

Ain't No Mountain High Enough (definitely my No.1)
Upside Down
The Boss
Why Do Fools Fall In Love
My Old Piano
I'm coming Out
Muscles (maybe my fave MJ creation he did for another artist)



ohh, back then I also had something going on for those cheesy Michael Masser MOR ballads boxed and I still kinda like "It's my turn" and a few others.. and will you all lynch me if I say "Endless Love"? biggrin
Vanglorious... this is protected by the red, the black, and the green. With a key... sissy!

Yes,Michael wrote and produced "Muscles" for Diana.It was a sizable hit in the fall of 1982.He also wrote and produced her 1985 single "Eaten Alive".

This is gonna be hard, but lemme try. In no particular order:

Ain't No Mountain High Enough
Theme from Mahogany
Love Hangover
Missing You
It's My Turn
(cheesy, though it may be)
Remember Me
Once in the Morning
(probably my favorite album track of hers)
The Boss
Touch Me in the Morning
Upside Down


Does anyone have the Deluxe Edition of the Diana album? It's interesting to hear the original Chic remixes. She contended that the original mixes seemed like Diana Ross singing backup on a Chic album. After hearing both versions of each song, I'd say she was right to have them remixed.

The second disc of remixes is also good. My only disappointment with that disc is that it doesn't have the better version of Lovin' Livin' and Givin' that appeared on the Thank God It's Friday album. I've never been a fan of the fade-in wannabe I Feel Love intro that starts the track.

Man, ain't no sense of her doing Billie Holiday's songs if she couldn't add nothing new. The only ONE person who did some of Billie's justice was the late Sassy Ms.Sarah Vaughan. Chaka came close with her(End Of A Love Affair) but nope.

I can keep in open-mind up to Billie Holiday's music, I VERY snoppy when it comes to Lady Day & her songs.

I have it and it's spectacular,isn't it? For years,I had heard about the original 'Diana' album produced by Chic,and how Diana secretly had it remixed without telling Bernard and Niles...lol....they weren't too happy about that.But I do prefer the remixed version,which brings out Diana's vocals a little more.It's great to have both mixes of the album.As for the second disc of remixes...I adore the LONG,LONG version of "Love Hangover".
