People need to stop sleeping on Diana's material. She had some bomb cuts that make you wanna nod your head. I did that to this song a few months ago. Her '70s ballads kick ass and then some...

Damn this is THE cut! Diana could sure sing those ballads.

"I'm in love....I'm in loooovveeee....today I fell in loveee!"

I loved every song on the Diana Ross 1976 album--so many of them. I used to wear that vinyl out!

Track listing:

1. "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" (Michael Masser, Gerry Goffin)
2. "I Thought It Took a Little Time (But Today I Fell in Love)" (Michael Masser, Pam Sawyer)
3. "Love Hangover" (Marilyn McLeod, Pam Sawyer)
4. "Kiss Me Now" (Gwen Gordy Fuqua, Kenneth Lupper, Bobby Susser)
5. "You're Good My Child" (Kenneth Lupper)
6. "One Love in My Lifetime" (Lawrence Brown, Terri McFadden, Leonard Perry)
7. "Ain't Nothin' But a Maybe" (Nickolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson)
8. "After You" (Michael Masser, Ron Miller)
9. "Smile" (Charlie Chaplin, Geoffrey Parsons, John Turner)

Now while Harry Weigner and Hip-O Select are recycling all these worthless Supremes and Temptations compilations, they need to get to reissuing this one in all deluxe glory. Along with Marvin's Trouble Man and Stevie's Where I'm Coming From.

That is a classic album for Ms. Ross. Mom used to blast that record all the time.

Lots of Diana's albums actually need remastering actually...

Again, I don't think many female performers did a ballad better than Diana in the '70s.

I have this album on vinyl I love the full-length version of "Love Hangover".

Hip-O did a marvelous job with the expanded edition of the Touch Me In The Morning album! Gotta play that sometime. They've actually done a great job with a majority of her Motown solo output.

They just haven't touched:

Live At Ceasars Palace

Lady Sings The Blues Soundtrack

Diana Ross (1976)

An Evening With Diana Ross

Baby It's Me

Ross

Having the soundtrack to Lady Sings the Blues not remastered is a travesty that needs to be corrected.

Stevie's Where I'm Coming From

This is supposed to be re-released, but only as 180 gram vinyl.

Yeah I know. The price for the original CD is literally priced at $200 bucks everywhere and you can't even find it on eBay. Next to Journey Through The Secret Life of Plants and Stevie's 60s records, it is one of his most sought-over albums. It's the only album of his I don't own in physical form and I'm looking for it.

Waste of money. I bought the CD when it was briefly re-released in the early 1990s in a store. Still have it. The sound is low and flat like many early CD's and it has that low budget packaging Motown was doing for their old albums at the time. Aren't all of Stevie's albums (including Little Stevie) available in Japan?

Yes they are. I've been considering buying a SHM-CD Japan copy of WICF, which has high quality sound. Alot of those early 1990s Stevie CDs don't sound that bad by the way. The 2000 remasters are the ones to avoid, with the exception of Fulfillingness' First Finale.
