Album Background[]
Diana would record the song "What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?" before Barbra Streisand did for her "The Way We Were" album released in 1974. she apparently had also predated Streisand on two Laura Nyro songs like "Stoney End."
Deke Richards was commissioned to produce "Everything is Everything" as slightly more pop than her soulful debut with Ashford & Simpson.
