I’m glad you reacted to the long version of Love Hangover. This song was a monster smash. It hit number one on Billboard’s Pop Chart, Dance Chart and R&B Chart simultaneously. It was on a loop at the clubs as well as the radio. It’s been sampled by various artists and Diana still performs it live in concert.
In 1976, she called me onto the stage to dance with her during the disco section of the song. It was a lot of fun dancing with her and she was so beautiful up close!
Diana has written a few songs, the best of which is “Fight for It”. I think you would like it. However, she co-wrote all the songs on her upcoming album “Thank You” due out in November. The two songs she has released from the new album have been extremely well received and reviewed. She’s an amazing person who continues to provide us with the soundtrack to our lives.
Originally written for Marvin Gaye, Barry Gordy opted to give Diana Ross first chance at the recording studio. The impromptu little laugh she gives at the 8:00 mark sealed the deal for her. Gaye then wrote and recorded his own disco song titled "Got to Give it Up".
THE masterpiece of the 70's !! 😍😍
This is the "Stairway to Heaven" of Disco.
Slow burn....climax.
Love Hangover was a major departure for Diana Ross. If you listen to the song there are long periods where she isn't singing and there are the parts where she is speaking as if she was telling on herself as she was getting high. It is mesmerizing. She does seem to be lost in that wall of strings and percussion and we all got lost in it on dancefloors all over the world/
This was Diana's answer to Donna Summer's "Love to Love You Baby". In certain parts you can hear the background singers saying, "I Love to Love You ... Sweet."
It was out way before Donna summers song
@@tjmmclaughlin1108 No.
the best song of alltime
I've always preferred the extended disco version of the song. She was in her element here.
How has anyone never heard a Diana Ross track? That sounds incredulous even if you dont listen to her genre of music. She has had too many hits over the past 50yrs!
Facts. Everyone knows “upside down” and “I’m Coming Out”. Everyone has heard those.
@@vegasbaby3669 My old piano and Chain reaction too
Diana Ross is not a disco artist tho she has had major hits with disco , Diana Ross is primarily a pop /R&B artist with the capability to sing just about whatever you throw at her jazz & bluea even country & Western ,& rock music even with for example "Fight For It " her genre in compasses just about every type of music which also includes disco .
Back during the time that this recording was made, long form recordings were the norm due to the disco craze. A lot of artists were getting in on the disco craze and dropping their own dance recordings. Getting dressed up to go out dancing was all the rage in the late 70s
Thank you for your honest reaction. I love hearing any comments about popular culture. Love what you love man, I get it. This is not what you grew up with, as for me I could imagine a world in which R&B was not an integral part of my experience. This record is an invitation to dance and celebrate. Maybe dancing is not a way that you express yourself. I am not the hugest fan of Country and Western, but I can feel the pain of Patsy Cline, Dolly Parton, and Hank Williams. Being a black man in America means that you have to be somewhat aware of the dominant culture in order to survive. White people have the luxury of not having to experience being the other. With that said I would encourage you to listen to the hip hop classic, “The Message” Grandmaster and the Furious Five.
Did she have input/control over her music? Only she really knows. The published accounts (rolling stone) share that in her next album she nixed some songs bc she could "hear Mick in the back ground". Yet on this album she did produce Ain't Nothing But a Maybe, which speaks for itself. You get the feeling she was part of the Motown Machine so she prob did have influence. The fact they put in strobe lights to create an atmosphere suggests she needed coaxing, esp after the success of Love to Love you Baby by Donna Summer.
when people actually could dance, and they did dance as couples aka disco dancing. it was hard and precise movement, just like the bass lines and beats in records we produced during that era. hear the difference in 2022?
Didn't watch your whole reaction, but a few thoughts: there's a much shorter single version that might have been an easier choice to review (3-4 minutes). Also, DR is known as more of a pop and R&B artist than soul or disco, although she's certainly had some disco hits in the late 70s. 50 years in the biz and still going, so I was surprised that you hadn't heard her music before. She's dabbled in writing lyrics on occasion, but is primarily a vocalist
The single actually keeps much of the ending portion.
Diana is a performer she does read music nor does she play instrument just an outstanding performer with unequal stage performce. she has somebody usually Valeria Simpson did the first version then she listen to it and makes it her own. ok
Classic Soul by Diana Ross! Love that bass line by Henry Davis, bassist for the Funk/Soul group L.T.D! 😊👏🏾♬🎤🎶🎸🥁🎷🎹
I liked this reaction video! I like the idea of reaction videos but usually find them staged. I completely relate to needing to find an artist or performance that unlocks a genre ... very well put. There is a certain minimalism to the production here that makes the build enticing and sensual.
Thanks!
I'm not as "algorithm" friendly as some of the more bombastic reactors but I find that just being genuine, even if it lacks theatrics, is my shtick. And people who enjoy that will find me eventually.
I've been in love with her since the Supremes still am
The Associates cover of this is brilliant.
Try You Were The One from Diana Ross. Can you react to that? That's a great song
Yeah, I had a similar reaction. I can't fault it, but it's not my thing. I guess I prefer feeling sad :)
He can't connect because he can't do it...its a cultural thing.
I think this being his first time listening to a Diana Ross solo this might've been too long of a version... continue down the road of ole skool R&B.. you can hear R&B in just about every genre of music so that alone is your official welcome..lol
This guy wasn't even a biological cell when Diana Ross took this phenomenon song to number #1. He has no idea about the short period of Disco music. He looks bored! This song was huge,especially on the dance charts.
edit records
Dang I wasted my vote on Kanye again! This is the 2020 election all over again...Can I change mine lol? I’m going to throw some others on that post, see what happens.
Extended versions of songs are not appealing to millennials. GenX’ers grew up on these gems. I actually heard a person react to Princes “1999” and thought it was too monotonous. Younger people just don’t have the attention spans of their parents 😢
There’s a time and place for extended versions. Typically, they don’t explore a lot of new ideas or melodies, but allow for grooves or drones to run for a few minutes. These are *usually* good, but don’t work in the pop context of the original single.
@@AlexHaitz I actually agree with you. Having said that, “Love Hangover” album version is much richer than the radio edit, as it captures much more of the essence of Diana Ross, who recorded that song while getting drunk under a disco ball
Could you react to Aaliyah next
This song was big on the dance floor in San Francisco in 1980. And it was the non-extended version that played. If you heard the non-extended version instead, Alex, I think you would have liked it more, which you sort of alluded to.
Ross is NOT a Soul Singer! How about a simple Google search beforehand.
Hey Alex, I know this is off topic but maybe next you should delve into XTC/The Dukes Of Stratosphear/Andy Partridge. You've only reated to Skylarking and then stoped.
This was my first record I bought in 1976
