I think more than a few of us here feel that Diana Ross gave us some very fine music in the 90's, which corresponds to her much touted return to Motown. Unfortunately, the royal return of the Queen of Motown did not translate into any hits. We have the 80's hits documented in The RCA Years but I'm afraid there won't be a Return To Motown Years.
The only single that came anywhere near the Billboard Hot 100 was 1995's Take Me Higher [[#114). 1989's Workin' Overtime made it to #3 on the R&B Singles Chart but apparently didn't even approach the Hot 100.
So I ain't holdin' my breath. Instead, I'll just go ahead and collect and enjoy the great music the way I want. Thank God for playlists!

Note: I don't loathe the album Workin' Overtime. I usually just pretend it's not there. I added The Best Years of My Life at the end because I think Diana Ross has dedicated it to her fans. Which brings me to my final thought: I wonder what are the songs Diana Ross feels closest to and proudest of?
