Chicago, IL — Diana Ross is a global entertainment icon whose music has, for decades, inspired romance, happiness and joy. For her new studio album, she has drawn inspiration from romantic songs that have touched her heart through the years, and she has dedicated the album to this most powerful universal emotion: love. 

"I Love You," to be released by Manhattan/EMI in CD and deluxe CD/DVD packages next week, presents 14 songs personally selected for the album by Diana Ross in appreciation of their timeless, classic expressions of love and romance, including a brand new song, "I Love You (That's All That Really Matters)," a gentle ballad that captures the emotion of romance.

The legendary diva remarked, "It's time to say 'I Love You'."

Beginning and closing with Harry Nilsson's "Remember," the song that inspired Ms. Ross' vision for her new album, I Love You takes the listener on a vibrant journey through many of music's most timeless and recognizable affirmations of love. All of the songs chosen for the album are important and meaningful to Ms. Ross, from the sweet bounce of "More Today Than Yesterday," to the sultry allure of "I Want You," a song first recorded by Marvin Gaye that was co-written by Ms. Ross' brother, T-Boy Ross.

"We wanted to create the quintessential album to be played at celebrations of love and life: weddings, family gatherings, intimate moments," explains Marylata Jacob. "I Love You is Diana's personal offering to honor these celebrations of love, from the glance of your first true love, through the joy of children, and love everlasting."

"When I was in the studio, sharing these songs, I was filled with strong emotion," says Ms. Ross.  "These songs, these singers, these musicians and all my fans are a gift of love to me."
