Diana Ross ~ No One Gets The Prize 1979 Disco Purrfection Version

Diana remixes for ya! Diana's vocals on "No One Gets The Prize" displayed her vocal talent and she really let loose her gospel pipes, full throated at the verses and sounding like the Diana in the Supremes. It was a real treat to find the 12 that had No One Gets The Prize/The Boss with the sharpest edit I would ever hear and comes close to her vocals on "Love Hangover" but with Ashford & Simpson providing the right funky track with a thumpin and insistent disco beat. I didn't really care for the mixed for that reason 12" and finally found another longer version that I used here and give the song a well deserved remix, Diana in top form with Valerie Simpson and Nickolas Ashford also in top form for a song that deserves a second, third or fourth listen. It's really great cat -fighty dust up between two friends who compete for the attentions of the same guy. Might have made a great duet with another female star, my money would have been on Chaka Khan....
