In 1979 Diana Ross reteamed with Valerie Simpson & Nickolas Ashford in effort to rekindle her career. Her last major hit was the disco classic "Love Hangover" back in 1976. Ashford & Simpson worked previously with her on Diana Ross (1970) & Surrender(1971) both successful albums.Would the third time around be as good.You bet!

They produced one of her classic works that spawned great disco hits like"The Boss" and "No One Gets The Prize". Songs like "It's My House" and "Once In The Morning" round out this great album from one of pop music's great diva's.
