Diana Ross: Baby It's Me
Joe McEwen, Rolling Stone, 1 December 1977
DIANA ROSS' gifts aren't easy to capture on record. In fact, it's been a decade since anybody has done it consistently. She's campy and prone to self-parody. And though Ross is a limited vocal technician (her voice is as light and reed-thin as her skinny body), she can alternately be sullen, sultry, dramatic and just plain silly. Still, it's a shame that her abundant gifts have gone unchallenged for so long.
