OMG!!! Diana Ross`s "To the baby" album finally released!

It`s on the touch me in the morning expanded edtition dancing jig

From soulmusic.com (http://www.soulmusicstore.com/dirotomeinmo.html):

TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING: EXPANDED EDITION includes a newly remastered version of the original album plus previously unreleased mixes, and a pair of alternate versions of "Touch Me In The Morning" demonstrating Ross' versatility in the studio.


Disc 2 of the Expanded Edition contains the entire To The Baby album, which includes previously unreleased covers of Michael Jackson's "Got To Be There" and Roberta Flack's "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," as well as the original title tune, written by Diana's brother Arthur "T-Boy" Ross. Also newly discovered is the original medley, "Imagine/Save The Children," two songs that were split for Touch Me, plus alternate original mixes of songs intended for To The Baby that ended up on Touch Me In The Morning, and an alternate mix of "Young Mothers," which previously had been issued in 1983 on Ross' Anthology.


That's not all. We've added, as an extra special bonus, two songs recorded during the same timeline: "Kewpie Doll," written and co-produced by Smokey Robinson, and "When We Grow Up," from Marlo Thomas' 1972 album Free To Be You And Me.

The only Diana album I have is The Boss and I have a hard time finding her musically appealing to me at least....maybe I'll find a good album from her that I really enjoy. What do you think about this album?

EVERYONE that half-way even likes Diana needs the "Diana" album that Chic did. That album is her best to me. Much better than The Boss (which is good also).

Yes it is. I just got the reissue not too long ago. I played that bad boy to death.

Very sweet. The horn at the end reminded me of Bacharach a little. This is a side of Diana I don’t know well.

mushy Ms. Ross has "smart" looking family. That's a nice song nice... I think I'll try to learn to play that on my guitar. Thanks SunnySkies for posting this.

Yep, the Grammy Awards are a joke and they've always have been. I've always thought they've ignored Ms. Ross because of her reputation of being a bitch and what went down with the Supremes, "they" don't like her. Ms. Ross "attitude" as far as I'm concerned is neither here or there, did she record some excellent songs/albums/music? Yes. They'll probably throw her a bone, "Life Achievement Award" when she's hobblin' on two canes. I'd tell them not to bother, keep it.

Really? Is that true? Not even with The Supremes? I would have thought she had at least one. I'm not a huge Diana fan. Her voice only appeals to me on certain songs like. I tend to like some vocal dynamics and Diana's dynamics are quite low to me. That is, she sounds pretty much the same, vocally, from one song to the next. I do love some Diana remixes though. I have about 33 Diana songs on my zune, so I like something I'm hearing (smile).

Thats funny,,,,Babs is famous for the same attitude, but she gets considered a "shrewd business woman" disbelief

The hypocrisy of those people make my stomach flips.
