Album of the day. There's no better way to celebrate Ms. Diana Ross' 80th birthday than with one of her best albums, 1979's The Boss. This found her reuniting with the great Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson, who gave her an urbane R&B sound with a sleek disco sheen.
@brandonousley I love the fast songs on this but I especially love “Sparkle” love hearing Nick and Val on the backgrounds in that one. They gave Diana such great work very few writers/producers were that good with her
@brandonousley I can’t remember - is this the one with It’s My House?
@brandonousley Once In The Morning is the deepest deep of cuts.
@brandonousley The 12” Version of “It’s My House” is such an immaculate track!!! I was listening to it the other day, and am still in love with it.
@brandonousley Every time I move into a new house, 'It's My House' is the first song I play.
