A blast from Miss Ross' past

I'm on a Diana Ross kick, especially after reading Diana Ross: A Biography (Citadel Press, $26.95). Today I'm playing Baby It's Me, Diva Diana's overlooked 1977 gem. This album, sadly long out of print, suffered from Motown's classic half-hearted promotion. It should have been huge. Produced by Richard Perry, Ms. Ross is in great voice on all 10 tracks, especially the sexy single "Gettin' Ready for Love," a lovely cover of Melissa Manchester's "Come In From the Rain" and three uptempo winners - "You Got It," "Your Love Is So Good For Me" and "Top of the World." The latter two are disco warm-ups, tunes that followed "Love Hangover" and preceded "The Boss" on the dancefloor. This disc's worth seeking out.
