On this day September 13, 1984, Diana Ross released her 14th studio album, Swept Away, which showcased a blend of pop, R&B, and dance music. The album reached #26 on the US Billboard 200 charts, continuing Ross’s strong presence in the music scene during the 1980s. It featured hit singles like “Swept Away” and “Missing You,” the latter being a tribute to the late Marvin Gaye.

Produced by a variety of talent, including Nile Rodgers and Arthur Baker, the album was a mix of energetic dance tracks and soulful ballads, reflecting Ross’s versatile vocal ability.
