With the finest soul music, past and present. Trevor's Album of the Week is Diana Ross's self-titled 1970 debut LP.
Trevor's Album Of The Week is Diana Ross' self-titled 1970 album.
As one third of Motown's most successful girl group of all time, Diana Ross was arguably taking a gamble by splitting from her bandmates and going it alone at the end of the 60s.
Her self-titled debut LP (later re-titled Ain't No Mountain High Enough after the single became a hit) was arguably her finest solo work at Motown and perhaps her best ever.
It was certainly among her most stunning. Everyone who doubted whether Diana Ross could sustain a career outside the Supremes found out immediately that she would be a star. The single Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand) remains a staple in her shows, and is still her finest message track.
