I'm probably in the minority, but I LOVED "Workin' Overtime". The title track was fun and funky, and introduced Diana to a whole new generation. The video, however, was too over the top. a 40-something Lady Di prancing around in denim and leather with a bunch of 20-year olds? Yikes. Cher? Yes. Diana. No. Way too classy for that nonsense.
My favorite cut from that LP is "Say We Can", but I feel like it was missing something. I liked how she performed it in concert, versus the studio version.
Anyway, back to "ILY"; if Diana would have followed through a bit better with this concept, what songs would you have liked to seen her cover? A whole songbook of an artist, perhaps? Or maybe a certain decade spotlight? As it was, it was just too all over the place.
