Released in 1977, Baby It’s Me peaked at #18 on the Billboard 200 chart and #7 on the R&B chart. It was produced by Richard Perry and featured the hit single “Gettin’ Ready for Love”, as well as “You Got It” and “Your Love is so Good for Me”, which was nominated for a Grammy.
Baby It’s Me has been called one of Diana Ross’s best albums, although it’s been very hard to find over the years. This rerelease of the original 1977 album has been expanded to include remixes, alternate vocal takes and four bonus tracks recorded for the album yet left in the vaults. Among those bonus tracks is a cover of Peter Frampton’s hit Baby, I Love Your Way.
A moderately successful late-’70s album for Diana Ross. She was evolving into celebrity/stardom status, and her albums were increasingly filled with less soulful, more sophisticated, heavily produced and arranged ballads and light pop. She still sounded glorious on most of them, but now the edge, sensuality, and energy that had made her Motown songs classics was steadily eroding in favor of a more stylized, almost show-business kind of singing.
