Album Notes & Community Reviews
Teaming up with Chic masterminds Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards, Diana Ross completely revitalized her career with this impossibly sleek, immaculately produced disco-funk milestone. Highlighted by the massive anthem 'I'm Coming Out', the album is an incredibly rhythmic, beautifully lush, and highly uplifting celebration of romantic resilience and dance-floor joy.
