Album Description
Last Time I Saw Him, a classic Diana Ross album overlooked in the digital era, finally makes its CD debut. Recorded and released in 1973, Last Time I Saw Him, with its track written Michael Masser and Pam Sawyer, was the follow-up to Dianna's No.1 Touch Me In The Morning. Masser, the Four Seasons' Bob Gaudio and Motown's own Ron Miller and Tom Baird contributed to the LP; one of Baird's tracks, "Turn Around, written by Harry Belafonte, was a holdover from a previously unreleased album.

 Sweet Soul Experiment December 12, 2008
Last Time I Saw Him represents a section of Diana Ross' seventies works where Motown used her to experiment with thier sound and their writers and producers.
At last we get to hear this album on CD, thanks to the creative sparks at Hip-O Select who have remastered the songs, added un-released tracks and made a very interesting view of the sort of sweet soul experiment that doesn't take place too often.
Ross paved the way for so many of today's male and female pop and R&B artists and it's easy to track this journey on this double album. There's country-pop, R&B and even some rock-pop songs in the mix. The way some of the un-released songs are produced share the spirit of Alicia Key's recent As I Am album.
Ross is a dynamic and exciting singer in these early seventies Motown recordings going from the country flavored, to electrifying soul to cooing pop-scapes.
Get a taste of this. It's different and appealing and so beautifully put together as a product (the sound is perfectly engineered)and check out the super-cool album cover!
Ross is BOSS!
THE BONUS TRACKS MAKE THIS A MUST HAVE August 16, 2008
2 out of 3 found this review helpful
I was always a huge fan of the work from Diana Ross's early career but must admit I never owned or heard the album LAST TIME I SAW HIM though I do know many of the songs. The first disc here which contains 2 versions of the album expertly remastered is ok. It is from the period where she was in her prime so it is a worthwhile collection but it does not equal her other releases during that period. There are some total standouts like SLEEPIN where she gives one of her best emotive interpretations ever. I also love NO ONE'S GONNA BE A FOOL FOREVER and I HEARD A LOVE SONG but YOU and BEHIND CLOSED DOORS are definitely subpar Diana Ross. I would have given this cd 3 1/2 to 4 stars were it not for the bonus tracks.
The second disc which contains 10 previously unreleased tracks are all gems and pure magic, digitally remastered to perfection. Her voice soars and melts over these masterpieces. Her versions of WHERE DID WE GO WRONG and SINCE I DON'T HAVE YOU are amazing. And she makes the Carpenters song LET ME BE THE ONE totally her own. She had previously sung CLOSE TO YOU to not very good results. All 10 of these bonus tracks are amazing and make a perfect 5+ star cd in themselves so the package of LAST TIME I SAW HIM plus them make this an unquestionable must have.
One forgets the amazing career Diana Ross has had and this amazing 2 cd set shows why.
 THE BOSS LAYS AN EGG BIG TIME! July 22, 2008

First, I am a huge Ross fan but am well aware of her spotty recording career. Motown and Miss Ross apparently had no idea what they were doing when they pushed her into a watered-down country soul pop LP. There is only one good song here, the Bob Gaudio produced Stone Liberty and another passable attempt at a single, Sleepin', a wierd song about homelessness that has Miss Ross saying "Don't touch me" assumedly to the homeless guy in the song. Gene Page, a gifted arranger, doesn't help the session by laying on the strings heavily and Diana herself gets one producer credit on the Charlie Rich hit Behind Closed Doors, which is downright limp. Strange that she seems to be looking for a Vegas/Nashville audience when she has just come out of Lady Sings The Blues and can do whatever she wants. Maybe this was recorded earlier and released after the movie was such a sensation. Whatever the case, this album sucks.
Hard to find and memorable!! February 8, 2008
I have been searching for a collection like this for years. The song "Where did we go wrong" I did not think I would ever find again.
Thank You, Tim Wallace
Ross Is Fabulous In This Absolute Gem December 20, 2007
4 out of 6 found this review helpful
Hip-O Records has been issuing Limited Edition CDs from the vast catalog of Motown Records and it does not get any better than this 2-CD reissue of an overlooked early 1970s gem by Diana Ross.
Released in December 1973, the album failed to light up the charts after the initial single - the title track - failed to crack the top ten and the follow-up - Sleepin' - was even less successful.
But the lack of commercial appeal does not diminish the solid interpretation of the lyrics by Ross and the fantastic arrangements which propels the music on the emotionally-charged 10 tracks.
The CDs include the original album and the Japanese Quad edition, along with 10 bonus tracks, including an unedited version of the Last Time I Saw Him. The booklet has a wealth of information on the original LP and CDs.
As with the Hip-O Records catalog, Last Time I Saw Him provides the listener with the historical nature of the original LP, while meticulously tapping into rare or unreleased material from the sessions. The reissue is arguably the most underrated and unappreciated LP ever recorded by Ross.
