Surrender (Diana Ross album)
1971 studio album
Surrender is the third studio album by American singer Diana Ross, released on July 6, 1971 by Motown Records. The album saw her reuniting with writer-producer team Ashford & Simpson who had overseen her self-titled debut album in 1970. As with Diana Ross, some of the tracks that Ross recorded with the duo had previously been recorded by other Motown artists, including Gladys Knight & the Pips ("Didn't You Know"), Martha Reeves & The Vandellas ("I'm A Winner"), Rita Wright ("I Can't Give Back The Love I Feel For You"), and the Four Tops ("Reach Out (I'll Be There)").
The album reached number 56 on the US Billboard 200 and peaked at number 10 on the US Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums, selling over 200,000 copies.[2] Following the massive success of the #1 single "I'm Still Waiting" in the UK, Surrender was reissued under that title, and the hit single was added to the track listing. Another hit on the album was "Remember Me", which reached the top 20 in the US (where it sold over 500,000 copies) as well as the top ten in the UK. The album charted at #56 in America and #10 in the UK, earning a silver disc for UK sales in excess of 60,000 copies.[3]
