It's my house and I live here. I have this album in my personal collection. I remember buying this album for $5.00 and I was fascinated with the album cover. I know that she's old enough to be my grandmother but she still can get it. But I think she deserves to be inducted into next year's Rock and Roll Hall Of Fame.
@heine71 "Boss" the single didn't make the all-inclusive Pop Chart Top 20 on Billboard, but it did go to No. 1 I think forever on their Hot 100 disco/dance chart. It was played non-stop in Boston all through the very hot summer of '79! I associate that album with that summer's dance music so much. Great post! :)
EXACTLY- he posted on another clip acting like it was the first time ever heard anyone refer to Diana as "The Boss". YES, Bruce Springsteen is widely known as "The Boss", but that does not automatically negate the fact that Diana has been referred to as the same for DECADES...
@heine71 it's my house was a hit here in australia in 1980 just before upside down was released so 1980 was a great year for diana here. i know that it's my house was released earlier over there in the usa.
SperstarX: since they sing entirely different genres, there is just as much validity calling Diana, The Boss in pop/R&B/dance circles and Bruce in rock circles. There are a lot of non rock lovers that don't know Springsteen is also called The boss......just as there are a lot of rocks that don't know Diana is also called The Boss.
For some reason, I vaguely recall a tv ad for Diana's "Swept Away" album in 1984. Haven't found proof of that yet here on YT, so might be imagining things!!
@SmoothCinnamonX Hi Smooth, wow, I stand corrected then, and I apologize.. :-o Actually, that would make sense because Motown and/or disco station DJs really, really pushed and moved that record all through high summer and into the fall of 1979. It had a great intro on it. Plus Motown was very good at taking their long-playing disco singles and editing them down to the then-still-standard "3-minute" single to upload onto commercial stations once a song showed cross-over potential. :)
