20 Golden Greats (Diana Ross album)

"20 Golden Greats" is a compilation album by Diana Ross, released on the Motown label in Europe in 1979. The album contained the 18 tracks that had charted for Ross in the UK since she launched her solo career in 1970, together with the two tracks that had charted in partnership with Marvin Gaye. By the time the album was released, Ross had already scored her 21st post-Supremes hit single (her 19th solo) with "It's My House", which was not included. The album was released just two years after the "" compilation featuring all her UK hits with The Supremes. The album was certified Platinum in the U.K for sales in excess of 300,000 copies.
The album was released for the international market and became the singer's best charting album in the UK since another greatest hits collection (released in 1976) also peaked at #2. Due to the large number of tracks included and the time limitations of the vinyl album format the running time of several titles were changed and were either slightly edited or had fade-out ends. The "20 Golden Greats" album remains unreleased on CD.
