Red Hot Rhythm and Blues is the 1987 album by the legendary Diana Ross. The album made the charts in Germany, The Netherlands and Austria, as well as reaching the Top 20 in Sweden and Norway. The album was Ross s final album for RCA Records and included cover versions of several R&B classics, including The Bobbettes Mr. Lee , Jackie Ross Selfish One, Etta James Tell Mama , and The Drifters There Goes My Baby . Ross decided to retreat to safer territory, returning to her roots of Rhythm And Blues to mark a celebration in black music for the dynamic Red Hot Rhythm And Blues album. Listeners to this album were stunned to hear Ross sensational, sexually charged and charismatic performance that sound quite fitting when listening to those mildly racy lyrics. Never the less Red Hot Rhythm And Blues is ESSENTIAL to any Diana Ross fan and stands as something of an over-looked classic.
