The Boss

Diana Ross

Sophisticated disco-soul. Sweeping orchestral arrangements meet a tight rhythm section, all anchored by a vocal performance of pure, unshakeable confidence.

Moments Worth Listening For
the explosive brass and string fanfare that opens the title track
the slow-burn transition in 'It's My House' where the groove settles into a relaxed, confident strut
the dramatic, theatrical vocal build-up during the bridge of 'No One Gets the Prize'
