Album Description
Available in:
One Woman: The Ultimate Collection attempts to condense Diana Ross' most successful recordings into one 20-song, 71-minute disc. Well, there's good news and bad news. The good news is that Ross, who produced the album (which is to say, picked the tracks), has included six of her Supremes recordings from the '60s -- one of them, "Someday We'll Be Together," in a new disco mix -- and licensed a few songs from her stay at RCA in the '80s, making this the most wide-ranging of her compilations. The bad news is that she has jettisoned many possible hits (only ten of her 18 chart toppers are included) in the name of featuring four tracks from the '90s that do not rank with her best, either aesthetically or in terms of popularity. In other words, Ross has constructed the album as she might a concert -- a sprinkling of early Supremes hits, all her biggest solo hits, and what she considers the highlights of her current work. The result is a less than perfect, or "ultimate" portrait, since the selection implies erroneously that a forgettable piece of tripe like the 1991 Top 40 hit "When You Tell Me That You Love Me" is as much a milestone in the Ross catalog as "You Can't Hurry Love" or "Upside Down" (and that Ross remained as significant an artist in 1994 as she was in 1964 and 1974). But the album still makes a good sampler of Ross' entire 30-plus-year career for beginners.
