also i think It's My House was the wrong follow up single. it's an enjoyable one but it just sort of rambles. No One or maybe once in the morning could have been good follow ups.

Licked is another candidate for a single
I remember spending the summer of 1979 with my grandparents and hearing by chance that Diana was going to be on the Tonight Show that evening. The entire show was nice, although I didn't particularly care for her opening song, RIDIN' HIGH. It fit her type of show at the time but I never knew its source. But I loved her performances of THE BOSS and REACH OUT AND TOUCH.

Re IT'S MY HOUSE, I was surprised that it was the next single. I would have gone with NO ONE GETS THE PRIZE. But as with her solo debut, I don't hear a lot of singles on this album. I think it is just that, a great album.
