🎷 BEYOND THE DIAL | NAC & SMOOTH JAZZ CONNECTION 🔥 What Diana Ross song deserves more love from Smooth Jazz & NAC fans? Drop your pick in the comments! 🎶 #DianaRoss #SmoothJazz #NAC #MusicDiscovery
Ian Phillips: Retro Music, TV & Films Nostalgia@IPhillips79Oct 11
Diana Ross - Give Up (1980) IMO the FUNKIEST vocal performance of her career!!! She cuts loose on her jamming vocal and sings with an abandon she hadn't before, especially on the second verse. B-side to I'm Coming Out & My Old Piano, all featured on the classic diana album.
