 Ross in the 80's Apr 21, 2009
Fantastic complilation. Cool pix. Great liner notes. Miss Ross' work in the 80's was often overlooked. This is a perfect way to revisit that incredible body of work!

Ms Ross is the Boss Apr 08, 2009
This is one of my favorite cd's. I have given as a gift on many
occasions and everyone loves it. Nothing in the current music
genre can even touch it. Time will tell that this is another classic
release from the most gifted artist in the world. Long Live MS ROSS

 Less than compelling collection from the RCA years. Mar 31, 2009
It was clearly not her best work. There were extremely high hopes for Diana Ross back in 1981 when she bolted Motown and moved over to RCA. But as so often happens when an artist changes labels the results were a mixed bag at best. "Diana Ross Greatest Hits: The RCA Years" is clearly a misnomer. The is not a "Greatest Hits" in the true sense of the word as only 6 of her 11 charted tunes at RCA are included here. Rather, this disc should have been titled "The Best of The RCA Years". In addition to the hit singles like "Missing You", "Swept Away" and "Why Do Fools Fall In Love?" you will find an additional ten tracks From her various RCA LP's. There are a few notable tracks among those ten including fine remakes of a couple of great R&B numbers. Diana does herself proud on "Selfish One", the Jackie Ross hit from 1964 and on "Cross My Heart" which was a hit for Billy Stewart back in 1967. Diana also does a nice job on "In Your Arms". You are sure to recognize that tune. Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston recorded that song as "Hold Me" and had a major adult contemporary hit in 1984. Of the remaining tracks I would recommend to you "Summertime". This is not the George Gershwin standard but rather a haunting tune written by Leonard Cohen. I also enjoyed the final RCA single "Chain Reaction" which would remind you an awful lot of Diana's work at Motown. The balance of the disc is OK but I really cannot get too excited about Diana Ross doing a couple of numbers written by the Bee Gees. Is this really necessary? This is certainly not a bad CD but it is clearly not something I would listen to very often. There are some decent liner notes included here but they are extremely difficult to read. If money is an object I would probably recommend reserving it for something else.

THE RCA HITS ARE BACK Aug 11, 2008
Ross' RCA Greatest Hits collection is tight. I know many people are angry that songs like Eaten Alive, Pieces of Ice, Up Front, Touch by Touch, Telephone, All of You, So Close, Dirty Looks, Tell Mama, Mr. Lee and Shockwaves aren't included, but after a few times of playing the album; the songs included on the album works just fine without them. Swept Away, Chain Reaction, Muscles, Missing You, Why Do Fools Fall in Love, Mirror Mirror and the solo version of Endless Love are all great, but what surprise me were the songs from her '87 critically acclaim album-Red Hot Rhythm & Blues. The 5 songs from this album are great to listen to. Tell me Again, Summertime, Selfish One, Cross My Heart and It's Hard for Me To Say should have made Red Hot Rhythm & Blues a major hit.
