Love & Life / The Very Best Of

Description

At a time when Lauryn Hill and Macy Gray are triumphing in the charts on both sides of the Atlantic, it's good to take a step back a few years and fully relive the career of Diana Ross, who will forever remain the first diva of soul. This compilation, aptly titled Love & Life - The Very Best Of, provides just that. With two CDs and 41 tracks, the Suprema scrupulously adheres to the harmonic and rhythmic patterns long claimed by Motown, namely creating sophisticated urban soul capable of appealing to both black and white audiences. Whether with the Supremes ("Baby Love," "You Can't Hurry Love"), under the artistic direction of Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers from Chic ("I'm Coming Out," "Upside Down"), or in duets ("You Are My Everything" with Marvin Gaye and "Endless Love" with Lionel Richie), Diana strikes a chord of romance while transmitting her irresistible desire to dance to the crowds. A double CD that sounds like the best of forty years of soul!
