Longest/best version and closest I think to the way she sang it in the studio--unlike the album version, it rhymes "if there's a cure for ME" with "if there's a remedy." This version was 1st released on the deluxe edition of the "diana" Chic album. Vince Aletti in "The Disco Files 1973-78" gives an on-the-spot report, 2/28/76--says DJs played the second half a couple of times during the evening, then when it got very late, played the whole thing and the crowds went wild. Best disco record ever..
@chipsandadrink1 You might try a good used vinyl record store. There was a record company called Disconet in the late 70's that got (probably by hook or crook) nearly impossibly rare disco recordings. This version was likely on one as I remember hearing this version at a disco back in '79. At the time I wondered why did Diana redo this song...lol...little did I know back then the true story of this song!
Who's doing the amazing background vocals for the amazing Ms. Ross on this? Valerie Simpson? She and Nick Ashford didn't produce this one for Diana, I don't think. So who's in the studio with Diana?

This version and the 17 minute plus version of Love to Love You Baby may be the the greatest of all the disco era songs.
