A splendid 41-song set featuring
Diana Ross
' best recordings with
the Supremes
, along with
Motown
and post-
solo recordings. This is a very comprehensive and thoughtfully chosen package. The selections run the gamut from
"Where Did Our Love Go"
to
"Love Hangover"
"I'm Coming Out"
Frankie Lymon & the Teenagers
'
"Why Do Fools Fall in Love"
and
Michael Jackson
's
"Muscles."
It features her duets with
Lionel Richie
Marvin Gaye
,
"Endless Love"
"You Are Everything,"
respectively, and
"I'm Gonna Make You Love,"
a duet with
Eddie Kendricks
credited as
Diana Ross & the Supremes
the Temptations
.
Ross
' compelling soprano is often imitated, but has never been duplicated as successfully by anybody, and that includes her namesake,
Jackie Ross
(
"Selfish One"
). This is as good as it gets. Compiling a more complete and pleasing package with the same number of tracks to work with will never happen. The circus-sounding
"The Happening"
is a nuisance, but you can skip or program it out entirely if it bothers you. ~ Andrew Hamilton
