Life after Helsinki 2007 Eurovision

In height of her career Diana Ross released The Boss album and single in 1979. Ashford & Simpson worked their magic and Diana delivered some of the most amazing vocals ever. The single made it to #1 in Billboard Hot Dance Club Party and #12 in R'n'B but only #19 in Hot-100. Howver it's one of her signature songs, at least for this blogger. Love it more than I can say.  David Morales remixed this in 1993 and  Almighty in 2009 among others.   In 1997 The Braxtons took the song back to #1 in Dance charts and #31 in the UK.  The song hit the #1 in Dance charts again in 2008 by Kristine W ! The song was covered in her tour also by late Whitney Houston

Nickolas Ashford and Valerie Simpson wrote this song in 1966 and they refused to give it to Dusty Springfield who badly wanted it, as they thought it could be their ticket to Motown. (Dusty went on to record similar sounding I'm gonna leave you, mind you.... And indeed Motown wanted it and in 1967 it ended up to Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell. It was duo's first hit (#19) out of 11 singles they released from three albums they di together before Tammi sadly died of a brain tumor....   In 1970 Diana Ross had left The Supremes and this became her first solo #1 (out of six) and today it is better known as her song. It has become one of her signature songs she always keeps performing in her live concerts that go on still. This summer she's touring the US again :-)
