The Boss is the ninth solo studio album released by Diana Ross. Released on the Motown records label. The Boss marked the return of Diana Ross to Top 40 radio thanks to the title track. It was certified a Gold record by the RIAA in late 90’s.

“… excellent, custom-made tunes … underline the renewed joy and self-reliance that infuse her singing … they force her to sing out over settings that are both propulsive and lush. The finest compositions here hitch nifty catch phrases to neat hooks and build them step by step into towering climaxes … (the ballads) become transcendent through vocal performances so warm and full and throbbingly ‘sincere’ … (on the title track) Ross lets loose with some of the most uninhibited singing of her career.” ~~Rolling Stone
