She has worked with a number of high profile producers over the years. Ever wonder why Richard Perry never worked with her again or even speaks about the "Baby It's Me" album? The Gibb Brothers talked about what a nightmare it was recording her the 80s.
I know Barry Gibb and i have discussed his working relationship with Diana. He says that Chain Reaction is his all time favorite creation for another artist. He even sent some demos to Diana a couple of years back which she foolishly rejected. He said he would happily work with Diana again. It is the late Maurice Gibb who clashed with Diana, and that was never a great issue because he was hardly involved with the Eaten Alive album. It was Barry and to a lesser extent Robin who were in the studio with her.
Barry may yet be involved again with Diana again on a future project. Watch this space.
