By the Numbers
Touch Me in the Morning is a clear interpreter's album: every song comes from an outside writer, from Michael Masser and Ron Miller on the title track to John Lennon's 'Imagine' and the Rodgers and Hart standard 'Little Girl Blue.' Ross has no writing credit here; her name appears on the album as a producer rather than a songwriter, with the vocals carrying material drawn from several different writers.
Touch Me in the Morning is the fourth studio album by Diana Ross, released in June 1973 by Motown. Built around its chart-topping title song by Michael Masser and Ron Miller, the album mixes new pop-soul material with interpretations of outside songs, including John Lennon's 'Imagine' and the Rodgers and Hart standard 'Little Girl Blue.' Ross is the interpreter across the record, singing songs supplied by a range of writers, and is credited as one of the producers. The title track gave her a second solo number-one single and helped the album reach the top of the R&B chart.
