内容紹介

In 1973, Diana Ross was coming off an Oscar® nomination for her searing portrayal of Billie Holiday in the feature film Lady Sings The Blues, a No. 1 album for its soundtrack, and questions about what she might do next. Next was Touch Me In The Morning, a critical and commercial success that featured the No. 1 title track. But there was much more to the story than a blazing return to pop form, as we discover in a new 2-CD set, Touch Me In The Morning: Expanded Edition, releasing on Motown/Hip-oSelect.com. This lovingly produced reissue includes a newly remastered version of the original album, plus an entire unreleased album: To The Baby, a collection of songs honoring her newborn daughter Rhonda.

To The Baby includes previously unreleased covers of Michael Jackson's "Got To Be There" and Roberta Flack's "First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," as well as the original title tune, co-written by Diana's brother Arthur "T-Boy" Ross. Also newly discovered is the original medley, "Imagine/Save The Children" - songs that were split for Touch Me - plus alternate original mixes of songs intended for To The Baby that ended up on Touch Me, and an alternate mix of "Young Mothers," which previously had been issued in 1983 on Ross' Anthology. As an extra bonus, added are two songs recorded during the same timeline: "Kewpie Doll," written and co-produced by Smokey Robinson, and "When We Grow Up," Miss Ross's contribution to Marlo Thomas' 1972 album Free To Be... You And Me. Touch Me In The Morning: Expanded Edition includes a booklet with rare photos and memorabilia, the story behind both albums, and quotes from Ross's manager Shelley Berger, producer Deke Richards, and from Miss Ross herself.

Motown Singer

2003年10月16日に日本でレビュー済み

アメリカのショービジネス界におけるビッグネーム。１９４４年生まれ。これは今から３０年前の初期のソロアルバム。サウンドスタイルは典型的なモータウンもの。アレンジャーがおおげさなストリングスアレンジしております。プロデューサーにはマイケルマッサーなどもおります（ジョージベンソンで有名）。楽曲はまあまあなものが多く、これといって決定打に欠ける。イージーリスニングポップスという印象。
おおがかりなプロダクションになっていくのは８０年代に入ってから。
声はやはりいい声してます。　　１０点中５点

A. Gift For You

Another outstanding reissue in the Ross catalogue

2010年3月21日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

For the past seven years, Diana Ross fans have been treated to superb deluxe reissues of a number of her Motown albums. In 2003, a deluxe edition of her mega-successful Chic-produced album "diana" was released, including the previously unreleased original versions by Chic, which were remixed by Ross herself and her engineer, Russ Terrana. In 2006, "Blue," Ross' shelved follow-up to her successful Lady Sings the Blues soundtrack finally saw the light of day. And in recent years, fans have enjoyed excellent reissues of "Surrender," "Everything is Everything" and "Last Time I Saw Him."

Now it's time for Ross' 1973 album "Touch Me in the Morning" to get the deluxe treatment. I'll be honest, I have been a long-time fan of Ross', but never picked up this album, which was very successful in 1973. The original CD pressing has been hard to find, but I was hoping for an updated, remastered copy; I'm glad I waited. Ross' pristine vocals and the gorgeous, lush music shine in this remastered, 2-disc collection - the sound is impeccable. The original album bridges pop, R&B, jazz and even hints of folk and psychedelia. The bonus cuts for the first CD includes two alternate versions of "Touch Me in the Morning." Usually having alternative versions of one song would be overkill, but these alternative versions each have variety so they don't sound redundant; I especially love the last version, which features a long instrumental opening. It's easy to forget the wonderful music track on the "Touch Me" single because of Ross' vocal performance.

The second CD features Ross' unreleased "To the Baby" album, which was dedicated to her daughter, Rhonda. It's a beautiful album, and, as the case with "Blue," it's hard to understand why it was shelved. Berry Gordy wanted Ross to follow-up her Oscar nomination for "Lady Sings the Blues" with a number-one pop smash, and in the end, he achieved that, but at the expense of the release of "To the Baby," which is a shame because it is one of Ross' most cohesive albums. Ross really connects to these songs about a mother's love for a child. This formula of a female singer singing to her child was employed by future singers, including Celine Dion on her 2004 album "Miracle" (which, by the way, featured a cover of Roberta Flacks "The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face," also covered on "To the Baby"). Some of To the Baby's songs have been previously released, including "Young Mothers" a superb song which was featured on Ross' 1983 double-disc Anthology. "To the Baby" may have been missing that pop smash Gordy was looking for, but it once again demonstrates Ross' versatility as a vocalist and interpreter.

But, thankfully, now in 2010, we have "To the Baby" in addition to "Touch Me in the Morning." Thanks to these reissues of Ross' Motown catalogue, Ross' work is being re-evaluated and Ross herself is getting her due. Ross is often unfairly categorized as simply a diva, and the bad press of the past years makes people forget what a dynamic and versatile singer she is. These reissues remind music listeners that Ross could sing pop, R&B, jazz, country, disco and so much more.

Special kudos to Hip-o Select who continue to raise the bar in producing reissues. For many years, I thought Rhino could never be topped in terms of producing reissues, but I think it's safe to say that Hip-o Select has surpassed them. It seems no expense was spared in producing this reissue, from the gorgeous packaging and photos to the liner notes; even the CDs themselves are elegantly decorated.

This is a must-have reissue.

Essential Diana Ross Album

2009年11月11日に英国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

After Diana Ross' triumphant turn as Billie Holiday in the "Lady Sings the Blues" 1972 movie, Berry Gordy was unsure of what direction to go in next with his biggest Motown star. Her previous album of jazz covers had been a smash hit, wheras her previous solo pop albums, while having big hit singles, weren't as memorable or cohesive as her early albums with her group The Supremes. There was a real danger that the follow up album to "Lady Sings..." could easily not live up to people's expectations. Berry Gordy knew that he needed Diana to break back into the pop charts if her career was going to carry on strong.

The conflict of these years brought about this album, 1973's "Touch Me In The Morning", an easy-listening themed selection of pop ballads that stands up as one of Diana's most succesful and enjoyable albums.
"Touch Me in the Morning" - The title tracks starts off the album. One of Diana's biggest hits and signature songs, it's a gentle ballad that builds up to a powerful chorus and has Diana singing at her finest. It was a huge no.1 single, and remains a 70's pop classic today. The best song on the album.
"All of My Life" - the second song was also a single from the album, but didn't quite hit the top 10. It's an achingly beautiful song, sadly underrated.
"We Need You" - A meloncholy soul song led primarily by piano, with an emotional vocal from Diana that stands as one of her best on record performances.
"Leave A Little Room" - An anthemic song, in the same vein as Diana's previous hit "Reach Out and Touch Somebody's Hand". Not as memorable as that song, but a nice song with very pretty harmonies.
"I Won't Last A Day Without You" - A 60's sounding ballad with a great chorus that's memorable and sweet. Very 70's sounding, but a very pretty little song.
"Little Girl Blue" - Originally intended for an unreleased jazz album by Diana (now released titled "Blue"), it's a cover of an old Rogers and Hart classic, done in an easy-listening, jazzy way. Clearly designed to tie in with her previous album, but still a lovely rendition.
"My Baby (My Own)" - A pregnancy themed song (Diana was expecting her first child at the time) with a mellow backbeat and has Diana singing in a lower tone than usual that is very jazzy and effective.
"Imagine" - An ambitious but lacking cover of the Lennon classic, Diana tries her best here and does sound great, but the song isn't suited to her, and it's not the best song here.
"Medley: Baby Brown/Save The Children" - The closing medley has a beautiful song 'Baby Brown' which is fantastic with Diana's vocals and the instrumentation. Follows with Diana's cover version of the Marvin Gaye classic 'Save the Children", which she does very well.

This album came before Diana's transformation into a disco superstar with hits like 'Upside Down' and 'The Boss', and is a fantastic but underrated album that deserves more attention. Highly recommended.

Diana Supremely Revealed!

2010年3月4日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Nothing from the mountain of information that has been written about Diana Ross and her fabled recording career over the past five decades comes close to being as revelatory in nature as the Hip-O Select expanded edition of her classic 1973 recording, Touch Me in the Morning.
Disc One remains mostly true to the original vinyl release with bonus alternative versions of four of the album cuts as well as charming studio spoken banter featuring Diana stating she feels a cold coming on.
Disc Two, the unreleased album, To The Baby could be considered Ms. Ross' fully conceived concept album which never saw the light of day, but now almost 39 years later, we can appreciate her artistry and strong sense of vision of who she was. While her label mates, Stevie Wonder was coming of age with his Where I'm Coming From, Marvin Gaye was being haunted by his introspective What's Going On, and the Four Tops were delving into Still Waters Run Deep, Diana was sharing her unabashed joy of motherhood.
Perhaps Berry Gordy had other considerations besides the potential commercial success of this venture, keeping To The Baby in the can, but time proved him wrong in initially fighting both Stevie and Marvin from releasing their masterpieces. The Ewan MacCall classic song, The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face was hugely popularized by Roberta Flack, but Ross' version is haunting in it's own right. Got To be There, a Jackson 5 hit is pure delight given the full breathy Ross trademark treatment.
T-Boy Ross, whose composition, I Want You, became a classic recording associated with Marvin Gaye, was brilliantly covered by his sister, Diana on her I Love You compact disc. Here, T-Boy' finally gets to have his sublime To The Baby posthumously see the light of day, surely a bitter sweet moment for Diana.
To the ears of this reviewer, the medley of Imagine/Save The Children works slightly better than the the Ross produced stand alone version of Imagine, and the Brown Baby/ Save The Children version that appeared on the original Touch Me In the Morning release.
To round off this beautifully packaged Hip-O Select set featuring rare photos of a radiant and very pregnant Ross, is the engaging Smokey Robinson written, produced and near duet, Kewpie Doll. Limited to only 7,000 copies, this collector's set will sell out quickly and an attempt to secure a copy will reward the listener many times over. Ross at her best and highly recommended!

Let Diana touch you

2009年1月24日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

This cd is a true revelation and for some reason not up there with the best of Diana's work which is where it deserves to be. After LADY SINGS THE BLUES Diana proceeded forward with this release. Diana Ross has had many milestones through her long career and many defining moments. With the Supremes she grew to have a very unique, emotive identifiable voice. As she began her solo career AIN'T NO MOUNTAIN HIGH ENOUGH ruled and showed her as a very strong solo presence. But the theatrics of this song has sometimes kept poeople from seeing all the different styles of song Ms. Ross can sing.

This collection is a simple, pure set of ballads where Diana simply uses her vocal gifts emotionally to great result. No theatrics. No Diva songs. Instead, raw and emotive Diana. TOUCH ME IN THE MORNING is the title and the huge single. But her vocal interpretations throughout ring true. ALL OF MY LIFE, LEAVE A LITTLE ROOM and LITTLE GIRL BLUE are beautiful and excellent examples of the talent that is Diana Ross. She also takes IMAGINE and truly makes it her own while the ending medley is a tour de force for her.

This cd does not have the great remastering or bonus tracks of the Hip-O releases but it still sounds great. This album may have been quietly swept under the carpet by many Diana fans. I really wasn't aware of it. But it is a must. The songs and vocal performance are all timeless and it is a necessary addition for any Diana Ross collection.

Honest One

The ultimate comeback song for Miss Ross

2021年7月1日にアメリカ合衆国でレビュー済み

Amazonで購入

Diana Ross had gone 3 years without a really major hit when this song was released in May 1973. It spent 21 weeks on the Billboard charts. This means Touch Me in the Morning lasted longer on the charts than anything Diana Ross had ever recorded, either by herself or with the Supremes up till that date. This expanded edition only enhances the sultry beauty of the lyrics. Ultimately It proved to any doubting public that Miss Ross was back and better than ever.
