Diana & Marvin (expanded Edition)

"Everything Is Everything" is the second album by Diana Ross, released in 1970. After the huge success of her self-named album and its accompanying two singles, Motown rushed the release of this album. It reached #42 in the USA (#5 R&B) and sold over 200,000 copies. The track "I'm Still Waiting" was a UK #1 single in 1971 for four weeks and her rendering of Aretha Franklin's "Call Me (I Love You)" was nominated for a Grammy in 1971 in the Best Female R&B Vocal Performance category.

"Last Time I Saw Him" is a 1973 album released by American singer Diana Ross on the Motown Records. It reached #52 in the USA (#12 R&B) and sold over 200,000 copies. It also helped Ross win the 1974 American Music Award for Favorite R&B Female. The arrangements were by Gene Page, Michael Omartian, Tom Baird, David Blumberg, Bob Gaudio, James Carmichael and Paul Riser. Harry Langdon was credited with the cover photography. The album yielded the title track single "Last Time I Saw Him", a multi-format hit that reached #1 (for three weeks) on the Billboard Hot Adult Contemporary, #14 on the Hot 100, and #15 on the Hot Soul singles. It peaked at #9 Pop on the Top 100 lists for both Cashbox and Record World, as well as #10 in Radio & Records. It also reached #35 in the United Kingdom.

The sensational Diana Ross returns with a sultry pop classic produced by Lionel Ritchie. The song "Missing You" was dedicated to friend and contemporary Marvin Gaye, and was a huge hit for Ross. Other sublime album cuts include a rendition of Bob Dylan's "Forever Young" and the intoxicating "Swept Away."

Michael Masser’s Contribution to Diana’s career is undeniable. A large cross section of her fan base desired Masser to produce an entire album. Motown ceased the opportunity and released “To Love Again”. It included enough new material that they could promote 3 new singles. My personal favorite is the passionate, escalating “One More Chance”! “Cryin’ My Heart for You” which went Top 25 Adult Contemporary and also became a hit in the U.K. and parts of Europe. “It’s My Turn” thematically and musically, was the strongest lead single. It was available on her recently released “Greatest Hits”. However, where as “diana” drove her huge pop fan base and the dance floor. While “To Love Again” was designed for her more adult audience favoring ballads like The Supremes “I Hear a Symphony”. The album sold consistently over time and eventually was certified Gold (500k) and then platinum (1 million)!

"Touch Me In The Morning" is the 4th studio album by American singer Diana Ross, released on June 22, 1973, by Motown Records. It reached #5 in the USA (#1 R&B) and sold around 650,000 copies. The arrangements were by Gene Page, Tom Baird, Michael Randall, James Anthony Carmichael, Deke Richards, Gil Askey and Ross. The album contained the hit title track, which became Diana Ross' second #1 single on the US Billboard Hot 100 singles chart, and helped the album peak at #5 on the US Billboard 200 albums chart. In the UK the title track and "All of My Life" were both Top Ten singles, and the album reached #7 and was certified Gold for sales in excess of 100,000 copies.

"Diana Ross" (later reissued rarely as "Ain't No Mountain High Enough") was the debut solo album for Diana Ross. It reached #19 in the USA (#1 R&B) and sold over 500,000 copies. The album was the ultimate test to see if the former Supremes frontwoman could make it as a solo act. With the help of the songwriting-producing team of Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson, Ross turned out a successful album. Ross did extensive work with other producers before settling with Ashford & Simpson, including Johnny Bristol, producer of her final single with The Supremes, "Someday We'll Be Together". Bristol here produces "These Things Will Keep Me Loving You" (which was a UK hit when originally recorded by The Velvelettes); the rest of the LP is fully written and produced by Ashford & Simpson.

BBR is thrilled to present this repackaged and remastered edition of GIMME SOMETHING REAL in a deluxe super jewel case including a new interview with Valerie Simpson and two bonus tracks. Having contributed to reshaping soul music of the mid- 1960s to the early 1970s via other recording artists (notably Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell, Aretha Franklin, Diana Ross, Chaka Khan, The 5th Dimension), Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson were a long established song-writing success before expanding on this as a recording duo in 1973.
