Thinking of my fav Diana vocals.
Hard to pick
Here are a few
Never say I don't love you
Friend to friend
My baby my own
More and more
Today I fell in love
Come in from the rain
Good morning heartache
Home
The same love that made me laugh
Give up....,
your turn , your fav top fav vocals
Home first to see the boss one more chance to admire and don’t mountain high enough i’m love that made me laugh made me cry, you are a baby doll because the last time you saw him you looked in the mirror mirror, tomorrow tomorrow if the world just danced reach out I’ll be there because somethings you never get used to surrender your love babyBecause you’re the force behind the power ,You take us higher and higher remember me as a good thing *There are so many good songs hundreds of them it’s hard to pick
very hard to pick and not simply focus on the big songs that are highlight of her career. I'll try to focus on songs where i just love how she sings it or how she handles the lyric
Little Girl Blue from Touch Me In The Morning album - this is probably her most stunning vocal of her entire discography.
You Are Everything - when diana starts her first verse "Today i saw somebody who looked just like you" the way she adds that little bit of breathiness to "you" is just tingling
the Boss - frankly the whole album. but i'll just stick with the title track. nothing needs to be stated. just incredible. sheer joy
My Man live - tie between the Evening With album and the HBO special from 80. both a homeruns
Carry On - she just rips this apart.
I thought that we were still in love - so heartbreaking and so moving
you can't hurry love - it's easy to write this off as a basic pop song. but even though it's an insanely fun song that everyone knows, if you really listen to her delivery, there's so much urgency as she pleads. although everyone sings along with it, no one can really do it justice
Mountain - she ability to effortless transition from those dramatic spoken segments to singing to that magic of the ending
Never listened to this one before, great track!Quote:

That should be ten, knowing full well I cheated by including whole albums :rolleyes:. But choosing ten favorite "best" vocals was an impossible task anyway :p
I was just focusing on her solo vocals. The Supremes records are a whole other universe! But you are most perceptive about You Can't Hurry Love. A critic/reviewer once wrote that it was "hard not to admire...how Diana Ross rode the waves of the Motown Sound like a surfer" [I can't remember the exact quote]. I don't think he was referencing YCH, but I immediately thought of that song and vocal performance.Quote:

YCHL is my all-time favorite song. i could literally listen to it nonstop on a desert island. it's such a part of the general pop landscape - always on rotation on oldies channels, in movies and tv shows, etc. everyone can easily sing along with it but it's very hard to really replicate her passionate vocal. given that she was only 22 when she recorded it is all the more incredible. there are so many subtle nuances to her phrasing and line. and these are what make it hard to really repeat her performance.Quote:
