Title: Fragments lopped off and melted away
Review: Ms. Diana should have overseen the assembly of this compilation; there is not a hit that I really want here. "Pieces of Ice", her sorely underrated #30 or so pop hit is conspicuously absent. Diana has admitted not being able to remember the hits of some of her Supremes days, so maybe its omission is all for the best, as she would be forced to own up to it in concert and probably does not have the recall at her age to do so. Some of her fans who bought such a 'Greatest Hits' compilation may expect it-even if, arugably, it was not one of her classics. Its mere appearance on a Greatest Hits set does make it somewhat mandatory for concerts, though, and my intuition tells me that "Pieces of Ice" is something she would rather forget-even if it was progressive '80s music. On the brigher side, classics "Muscles" and Daryl Hall's "Swept Away" are here though.
Is the review positive or negative?
