''Ross'' is a 1978 studio album/compilation released by American singer Diana Ross on the Motown label. The album was a mixture of older tunes Ross recorded and newer recordings, side A consisting of four tracks recorded in 1978 and Side B of material recorded between the years 1971 and 1975, but remixed and/or extended by Motown in-house producer Russ Terrana specifically for the ''Ross'' album. ''Ross'' peaked at #49 on the US Pop Albums chart, and #32 on Black Albums.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Ross () Billboard Charts & Awards )〕 The album failed to chart in the UK. Its final USA sales figures stood at around 150,000 copies.〔http://www.greasylake.org/the-circuit/index.php?%2Ftopic%2F116321-the-supremes-diana-ross-stevie-wonder-and-ray-charlesusa-album-sales%2F〕 A different album also titled ''Ross'' was released on the RCA label in 1983. Several outtakes from the 1978 ''Ross'' sessions produced by Hal Davis, Greg Wright and Michael Masser have subsequently been issued on various other albums with Ross. Titles among these include "You Build Me Up to Tear Me Down", "Sweet Summertime Livin'", "Share Some Love", "We're Always Saying Goodbye", "Fire Don't Burn" and "We Can Never Light That Old Flame Again". Although only enjoying moderate chart success on its original release in 1978, in 2009 "Lovin', Livin' and Givin'" was one of thirteen tracks featured on Almighty Records' tribute/remix album ''We Love Diana Ross - The Remix Collection''.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Presents: We Love Diana Ross - The Remix Collection )〕 While alternate versions of most of the recordings contained on the ''Ross'' album have re-surfaced on a number of Motown/Universal Music compilations over the years, the original album in its original form is as yet only available on vinyl - making it the only one of Ross's studio albums for the Motown label not to have been re-released to compact disc, although the album will be released on SHM CD in Japan on November 28, 2012. ==Track listing== ;Side A #"Lovin', Livin' and Givin'" (Kenny Stover, Pam Davis) (Extended Remix) – 5:11 # * Recorded 1978.
