About this album

Why Do Fools Fall In Love finds Diana Ross refining her pop-soul formula with disco-era polish and a strong ear for emotional contrast. Issued in 1981, the album pairs glossy dance material with ballads and includes her hit take on Endless Love, a duet with Lionel Richie that became one of the defining singles of the period. Ross’s voice remains the centre of the record, moving easily between uplift and vulnerability while the production keeps the arrangements sleek and contemporary. It sits comfortably within her early-’80s run, when she balanced adult pop sophistication with the rhythms driving mainstream soul and disco.

Genre: Soul & Funk
