Diana Ross – 1977 – Baby It’s Me

A surprisingly high quality album, in my opinion Baby It’s Me is better than the more famous and appreciated 1979 album The Boss. It still lacks the magic of several Supremes albums either with or without Diana, or Diana’s own, well, Diana (1980). But excluding a couple of quite average,...
