That's "Ms. Ross" to you, bub--and this is your best bet when collecting the solo output of the former Supreme. The disc spans from her first solo hit, 1970's "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," through her four 1980 collaborations with Chic. Since 1994's Ultimate Collection repeats most of the material here, adding only six Supremes hits and a cover of "Why Do Fools Fall in Love"--and 1993's Forever Diana is awfully padded--this is definitely the one for casual fans. --Bill Holdship

2.0 out of 5 stars The big lie from Motown, October 3, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: All The Great Hits (Audio CD)

AARGH! The CD case lists the complete album versions of "Love Hangover" and "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," but the idiots at Motown put the 45rpm versions of these songs on the album. I hope this is a temporary screwup and not an intentional lie. The CD is only 61 minutes long; surely there is room for the complete album versions (which would result in about seven extra minutes of music). The two stars are for the music, which is wonderful, of course. But somebody's head should roll at Motown for stating that the complete album versions of these songs are on this CD, since they are not! This is the reason I bought this CD! Conveniently, there is no "quality control" number at Motown listed on this CD; nor is there a web site. Disgraceful! I hope Ms. Ross is reading this!

5.0 out of 5 stars IF YOU CAN FIND THE RIGHT ONE, IT'S GREAT, January 15, 2001

By now, most of you know about the unforgiveable mistake Universal/Motown made with this CD (listing album cuts that were actually singles). What I want to report is that the CORRECT VERSION WITH THE ALBUM CUTS IS OUT THERE AND IS GREAT--YOU JUST HAVE TO KNOW HOW TO LOOK FOR IT. The CD has a sticker on the outside packaging that says "A Motown Classic - Remastered and Restored!" This sticker was originally a red background with white writing. The corrected versions of the CD have the label as a WHITE BACKGROUND WITH RED WRITING. I was told about this from Harry Weinger at Universal/Motown, who supervised the release of this CD. I searched for months for this CD with the correct sticker on it, and didn't find it until last week out in Scottsdale, AZ of all places! Of course, what Motown should have done is recall all the CD's and re-release the corrected ones, but the bottom line is if you can find one with the sticker with the white background and red writing, this is the corrected CD, and the sound quality is breathtaking, as well as the songs being the right length.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simply The Best, March 7, 2002

By A Customer

This review is from: All The Great Hits (Audio CD)

She wan't the first legendary black performer, but she most certainly is the most successful. This set, a revamped, remastered issue of the original 1981 LP, chronicles the stylish post-Supremes singles that elevated Diana Ross from 60's pop sensation to 70's and 80's superstar. All the really big hits are here: the early soulful Ashford and Simpson collaborations ("Reach Out And Touch," "Ain't No Mountain High Enough," "Remember Me,"), her trademark dramatic ballads ("It's My Turn," "Touch Me In The Morning," "Theme From 'Mahogany'," "Endless Love"), and her blood pumping dance records ("The Boss," "Love Hangover," "I'm Coming Out," "Upside Down"). This edition of the album adds two of Ross' more daring hits--the swingin' "Last Time I Saw Him" and her heart-stopping rendition of Billie Holiday's "Good Morning Heartache" from 'Lady Sings The Blues,' neither of which, oddly enough, made the cut the first time. While the new "Motown Anthology" covers much more ground, and her RCA hits are nowhere to be found, "All The Great Hits" gives fans the songs that launched a solo icon.
