That’s MISS Diana to You
I’m so happy that this week’s edition of Bottom Feeders: The Ass End of the ’80s has gotten up to Diana Ross and her scattershot RCA Records period. It includes the Bee Gees collaboration “Chain Reaction,” a bouncy, retro sounding soufflé that hit the British top spot in 1986. Despite that success, the single couldn’t get any higher than #66 in the U.S. I actually remember hearing this song on the radio and watching the video on stuff like Night Flight back then. Wonder why it wasn’t a bigger hit?
Love this tune! I remember it filling the floor at Rich’s in Houston- all us gays would be grooving seriously to Miss Ross. My fave by her from this time is ‘Swept Away’- can (and do) listen to it over and over and over.
