Customer Reviews of Swept Away

"Missing You", the tribute to Marvin Gaye, is the most recognizable track, and I think it hit #1 on the R&B chart. "Swept Away" is upbeat and danceable, you can hear the influence of Darryl Hall. I also really enjoyed "Telephone", it's rather funky. "Forever Young", a torch song ballad, is a nice end to the album.

Wow, this CD brings back memories. I agree with the other reviewer who said this was Diana's last great album. As a lifelong fan of Diana Ross, I readily admit it.

Swept Away About it!
The hit title track, makes all the album worth buy in it!, it's a more extended version than the one now included in the only available Greatest Hits RCA Years!. The First Track "Missing You", is a great melancolic ballad, "Touch By Touch" sounds a little to funny to me, not the diva that we are used to; "Rescue Me", is a cover of the Fontella Bass version, is ok, not great, "It's Your Move", is one of the best track of the album, is a kinda sexy track, it doesn't fall in the title of funny sounding song like the above "Touch by..", "Swept Away" well Daryl Hall had it with this song, why it didn't became a top 10 hit, that's a mystery, maybe cuz Radio airplay was mad with Diana parting ways with Motown?, the chorus line that states "No It doesn't matter cuz nothing last forever" it's a timeless state of independence, "Telephone" well to slow for being a song produce by Bernard Edwars(of Chic and one part of the success of "diana"), it's sounds like a filler, and the lyrics only talks about "if you need someone call it on the telephone"? whassup with that?, "Nobody Makes Me Crazy Like You Do" well this track supposed to be danceable, it's sounds kind of robotic, it's not boring but not a classic, "All Of You", song with Julio Iglesias father of course of Enrique!, this song is a total AC classic of the early eighties, although it was an [imitation] of "Endless Love" it didn't achieve the success that EL achieve, the song is produced by Richard Perry(Pointer Sisters)and the lyrics are ok, of course they talk about love, Julio Iglesias voice is better than his son, "We are the children of the world", it's an uplifting song wich for my point of view was a predescesor of "We Are The World" haha, nice for kids parties!?, "Forever Young" deep lyrics written by the one and only Bob Dylan, this should have been a great AC release but I guess Diana didn't want it, in conclution, "Swept Away", pick the pieces up where "Ross" 1983 left all, although it didn't make a great stament in music like "diana" in 1980 did, "Swept Away" had enough energy to be certified "Gold", and consider the last commercial success in the USA for Miss Ross. Both the album should be consider halp Upbeat, half Ballads, a great convination that some divas of today don't seem to capture.

Swept Away nothing last forever
Swept Away was Diana's last successful commercial release in the U.S. Swept Away was the beginning of the end of Diana's reign as the boss. All of You with Julio Iglesias was a beautiful ballard that fell short of the success of Endless Love. Swept Away was a powerful track that demonstrated that Ross could keep up with the other divas of the era like Chaka Khan, Evelyn King and Donna Summers. Diana's vocal performance was both passive and powerful and showed sex appeal and strength. Missing You was Ross' last hit and number 1 R&B ballad yet it struggled to maintain the number ten spot on the pop charts a sign that this was the beginning of the end. Other noticeble tracks include Telephone and Touch by Touch. Definitely the last album that was a complete masterpiece by Ross.
