BEST YEARS OF MY LIFE Back to the Top Filmed in Black and White, a beautiful video that combines the best years of Diana Ross' life within a caberat setting.
CHAIN REACTION Back to the Top Written by Gibb/Gibb/Gibb. Backing vocals by The Bee Gees. One of her most popular videos, this song is a throwback to her old Motown days and her tenure as a member of the Supremes. Although the song reached only the Top 20 on the American charts, it reached the U.K. #1 pole position. So popular was the song, it was re-released several years later. The video has Diana portraying her 'Supremes' persona with a humorous nod to her "glamourous" image.
Writtten by Scher/Golden Taken from her T.V. special, 'Red, Hot, Rhythm and Blues'
Written by Gibb/Gibb/Jackson. Backing vocals by Michael Jackson. Taking the 'Pieces of Ice' video concept further...the music video, filmed entirely in black and white, was practically a mini-movie of 'The Island of Dr. Moreau'.
Written by Gibb/Gibb/Gibb/Gibb. Backing vocals by the Bee Gees.
FORCE BEHIND THE POWER, THE Back to the Top Written by Stevie Wonder.
Diana looks great in another black and white video placed in a nightclub setting. There's an actual story here about a woman who is aware that her man is cheating on her and coming to a crossroad in her life. Definitely one of her better videos, if not the best.
HEART DON'T CHANGE MY MIND Back to the Top Written by Warren/Buchanan
I WILL SURVIVE Back to the Top Diana Ross' intro into the song, 'This is dedicated to my girls,' sheds new meaning as the video plunges head first into the throngs of Diana Ross look-alikes on a float in a Gay Pride parade. The event was entirely staged for the shoot. The video also features the radiant and Ross-inspired, RUPAUL. A homage and acknowledgement of her legions of gay fans who have supported her throughout her career.

(featuring The Who) With the Who’s 1973 double album as its springboard, filmmaker Franc Roddam created a moving portrait of youthful alienation in '60s Britain, acclaimed for its precise attention to period detail. Jimmy Cooper (Phil Daniels), is a portrait in frustration and bad luck: his mother kicks him out of the house, he quits his dead-end job just before he is fired, he loses his dream girl to his best friend and his beloved Vespa is smashed by a truck. This cult favorite features not only the Who’s music, but songs by James Brown, The Ronettes, The Supremes, Marvin Gaye and Booker T and the MGs. With Mark Wingett, Leslie Ash and Sting as the coolest of all the Mods. (1979) R (AC, AL, N, V) (review by musicstation.com)
