A few years earlier the MJ connection could have put it over the top but that time had passed. I've said before that CR was a GREAT song and GREAT vid, and the lead single and lp title should have been CR. I also thought the cover art was not great, and probably a tad tacky. Not so many [[any?) of Diana's peers were burning up the charts at the time, and as you say there was a new generation on the radio. I give the lady props for trying something different!
