As a teenage music fan in 1980, I probably thought Diana Ross was something of a has-been. A singer of dreary love songs and best suited to K-Tel albums.
But Chic were hot and so the diana album caused me [[and, no doubt, many other young people) to realise Diana Ross still had it! She could still put out groovy new music which the kids could dance to.
The Guilty album [[as good as I later realised it was) would not have done this. I would have just thought 'more dreary love songs'.
The diana album was EXACTLY what her career needed at this point.
