High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Workin` Overtime is a 1989 album released by American singer Diana Ross, released on the Motown label. It was Ross` first Motown album since 1980`s diana after Ross left the label for a then record breaking $20 million deal with RCA. Upon Ross` return to the label, Motown founder Berry Gordy, Jr. had sold the label to MCA Records and had positioned Jheryl Busby to the head of Motown. Ross was at first reluctant to return to her old label but Gordy promised her a lot in her return: not only would Ross return to Motown as a recording act, but she would be the label`s part-owner. Ross reunited with collaborator Nile Rodgers to make this album which was an attempt to gear her to a much younger audience bringing in new jack swing productions and house music.
