From diana-web:

Two new compilations

CD Universe (US on-line store) have two new Diana Ross compilation CD's listed; The Definitive Collection (Motown), to be released March 28, and something called the Blue Album (Umvd / Motown), to be released on April 25. No track listing available so far, but I will post it here as soon as it is revealed.

I hope this set includes her rendition of Aretha Franklin`s "Call me", which is VERY difficult to find on cd.

Great! People may say whatever they want about Diana-But she has always been a great songstress .

That's great news, but didn't they already release the excellent, The Motown Anthology four or five years ago?

Yes, the music is what matters, and she has been VERY VERY lucky with her material

Yes, in 2001, and what a compilation, "Time and love" is a real gem

silverchild said:

That's all Motown does these days...release one compilation after another,lol.They keep re-packaging and re-selling the same songs over and over again.Why not remaster Diana's actual albums for a change?

Thanks Icicle!


I have to agree, another compilation but... it'll be interesting to see what's on it.

Hi there
Yeah, "Blue album", i`m very excited about that one, maybe we can get some unreleased stuff
It`s probably because of the terrible westlife duet, to introduce her music to a new generation of fans. If the compilations does well, maybe some of her more rare records will be re-released on cd, like "Everything is everything" and "Last time i saw him", which hasn`t even appeared on cd before.

what is the "Blue Album"? Could this be the new album she's working on right now? Carlos Santana mentioned that he will be playing guitar on a few tracks.

I haven`t got a clue, but it said two new compilations, though "Blue album" sounds like a strange name for that. I`ll keep checking diana-web, can`t wait to see the track-lists

I too wonder if "The Blue Album" is her new one. It was announced last Summer that she would have a new album out this spring; but I haven't heard anything lately.

the latest word is that the album will be released in the fall.It's a duets album....a concept album about love.Carlos Santana plays guitar on a few tracks.Her recent duets with Rod Stewart and Westlife might be included.It's rumored that Clive Davis is over-seeing this project.

I love her music better than the woman herself. Yeah, I said it!!!

Hell yeah, I'm still piss with Diana for all the ticket-holders she screw over in New Orleans back in the 80's. THAT diva (read: bitch, witch, etc.) thought New Orleans wasn't good enough for her!

And please don't get me started about how she backstabed Mary Wilson one time too many!!

DavidEye said:

Well thanx for busting my bubble I really thought we were in for another "Take me higher" or at least a more upbeat "Everyday's a New Day". This duets deal DOES NOT sound appealing.

WHOA! I just listened to her duet with Rod Stewart....her voice got HEAVY.
