On last AT40/70s premiere’s edition of 9/25/76, Casey talked about the mystery voice who sings with Diana Ross when playing #26 song for the week “One Love in My Lifetime”; and if I heard correctly even people in Motown kept mum about whose this voice belongs to when AT40 asked them about..
But the single is from a studio album called ‘Diana Ross’; and this album was re-issued as an expanded 2-CD edition last year with 24-page booklet and extra liner notes. I don’t own this re-released version, but I wonder if the identity of this person is revealed anywhere there?!

I don’t own this re-released version, but I wonder if the identity of this person is revealed anywhere there?! It's the Jones Girls. The Jones Girls consisted of sisters Brenda, Valorie and Shirley Jones. They served as backup singers for Lou Rawls, Teddy Pendergrass, Aretha Franklin, and Le Pamplemousse. They worked with Diana Ross from 1975–78 and were the backup singers on Linda Clifford's 1978 album If My Friends Could See Me Now and on Tower Of Power's lowly rated 1979 album Back On The Streets. Their biggest hit was "You Gonna Make Me Love Somebody Else". The song broke the Billboard Magazine Top 40 at #38 in May 1979. The song was also a Top 5 R&B hit. |

Rumor was that it was Motown head Berry Gordy, Jr., who at the time was, shall we say, quite close to Ms. Ross. and the voice does sound like Mr. Gordy's voice, from what I recall of hearing him speak.
