Diana Ross (1976 Album)
Diana Ross is a 1976 album by Diana Ross for the Motown label, her second self-titled LP (the first was her 1970 debut album, later rereleased as Ain't No Mountain High Enough).
The album was Ross' biggest-selling album since 1973's "Touch Me in the Morning", and the first of Ross' albums since her debut to yield more than four hit singles. It reached #5 on the US Billboard 200 album chart, #4 on the US Billboard R&B Album Chart and the Top 10 in the UK.
Two of the singles taken from Diana Ross became #1 hits: "Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You're Going To)" (also included on the Mahogany soundtrack), and the disco anthem, "Love Hangover". A third single "I Thought it Took a Little Time" was on its way to another pop smash when its pop chart life was circumvented due to having to rush release "Love Hangover" to obliterate a competing version by The 5th Dimension. "I Thought it Took a Little Time" did become the second Top 5 Adult Contemporary single despite its eclipsed run on the Hot 100 (see Billboard). It remains a fan favorite and was also remixed for the clubs on the Almighty Records dance compilation, "We Love Diana Ross".
Ross was also nominated for a Grammy for "Love Hangover" (Best R&B Performance, Female Artist).

Famous quotes containing the words diana and/or ross:
“I always draw a parallel between oppression by the regime and oppression by men. To me it is just the same. I always challenge men on why they react to oppression by the regime, but then they do exactly the same things to women that they criticize the regime for.”
—Sethembile N., South African black anti-apartheid activist. As quoted in Lives of Courage, ch. 19, by Diana E. H. Russell (1989)
“The New Yorker will be the magazine which is not edited for the old lady from Dubuque.”
—Harold W. Ross (1892–1951)
