Ignore those that find 'Miss' Ross an easy target for criticism. On a purely musical level she has set standards for others for decades. This collection is not half-bad. A couple of fillers that could have been replaced with other Ross classics, but actually this gives quite a fair picture of her vocal capabilities and also, interestingly, how her voice has improved with age. Definitely recommended, it will outlast 'J-Lo's latest offering!

The Boss is back! And despite the fact that this is her upteemth greatest hits package, this is the most complete yet. I would certainly recommend any Diana Ross fans (and non-Diana Ross fans for that matter) to buy this, especially those who bought her last greeatest hits album ('One Woman'). For the first time ever, almost every Diana Ross hit is there - from the early Supremes favourite to the exellent new single 'Goin' Back'. The only hit that isn't there is her version of 'I will survuve', but then again, with so many decent songs, spanning 5 decades, one can't really complain. CD1 contains her more dancey tracks-from the Supremes Motown classics to her 1999 hit 'Not over you yet' (not her best effort). As usual, 'Upside Down' and 'I'm coming out' are there. However, there are also some singles from her Eaten Alive album from the 1980s which hadn't been availble previously on a greatest hits album. My favourite however, has to be the very underrated opener 'Chain Reaction' , produced by the Bee Gees. Over on CD2 (the ballads), 'Theme from Mohogany' still sounds as fresh as ever. And a personal favourite of mine, 'Remember Me' from her early days as a solo artist, is also there. Her duets with Lionel Richie and Marvyn Gaye are also included for the first time together on one CD. All in all, this is a fine compilation album which is very good value for money. OK there are some dodgy tracks (like 'Work that body' or 'Muscles' - even the names make you cringe), but if you are new to her music, then this is the ONE album you should buy. You won't be disappointed.

Not as truncated as the single disc "One Woman," and not as spotty as the box set "Forever, Diana," this is by far the best representation of Diana Ross' remarkable career.
It's all here: from her first #1 hit as the supreme Supreme ("Where Did Our Love Go") to her solo classics ("Ain't No Mountain High Enough"); detours through boogie wonderland ("Love Hangover") and early 80's aerobics classes ("Work that Body"); her biggest successes ("Chain Reaction") and her poignant reflections on a 40-year-plus catalog ("Goin' Back").
That nearly every track is not only immediately recognisable, but also very solid musically and lyrically, is a testament to Ross' durability and her taste. The glistening balladry of "If We Hold on Together" and the chunky hip-hop beats of "Workin' Overtime" have little in common, but Ross handles both with finesse and elan.
The one false note is struck by the poor packaging. Certainly, a legend of Diana Ross' calibre deserves better than a cheaply-designed and -printed booklet. Diana Ross is as famous for her image as she is for her music, and products bearing her name should reflect this.
All quibbling aside, this is the perfect gift for a new fan, or someone curious to see where Whitney, Mariah, Janet, J-Lo and all the rest evolved from. And for the longtime fan, Ross' stunning version of the Carole King/Gerry Goffin-penned "Goin' Back" is well worth the ticket price. An instant classic!

Terrible!!!
CD took for what seemed ages to arrive, when it did the casing was grubby, and only ONE disc out of a two disc CD was enclosed. Product obviously not checked prior to dispatch!!!

I have been a casual fan of Miss Ross for as long as I remember (since the early 80s). Casual only because I hadnt heard half of the tracks on this CD. Read more
