#123 MY OLD PIANO Diana Ross
While preparing to work with Diana Ross, Chic's Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards interviewed the former Supreme to get some song ideas. This was held at her home and the 2 songwriter/ producers asked Ross about her life. Rodgers explained that process to me in an interview: "so everything we write about are things that are about Diana or in her world but from our point of view as if we're journalists or ... film makers". Rodgers and Edwards noticed that Ross had a baby grand piano in her house. This inspired them to write "My Old Piano".
The song was included on the 1980 release 'Diana', 1 of Ross' most successful albums. It was the 3rd single lifted off the LP. The track made the Top 10 in parts of Europe and #5 in the United Kingdom. It also peaked at #25 in Australia. This was her final album of all-new material issued by Ross on Motown before she switched labels to RCA (Capitol) Records. By 1989, she was re-united with Motown once again.
 
This is a list made up of the songs I enjoy the most, ranked in order of preference: the higher we go, the more I cherish them. Some were released as singles, others as album tracks. Some are obscure; others were worldwide hits or have universal appeal. They aren't always the most famous or popular, but simply a personal choice. I have excluded songs from the last few years in order to get a better idea of a song's lasting impression. I hope you find some new tracks to love, or re-discover some past favourites.
A new song from the Top 200 is added each day, while another 2 are also included from positions 1501-2000 daily. Check back here every 12 hours for an update of the 2000.
