Diana Ross: Chain Reaction - On Spain Television - 1993 (My "Stereo Studio Sound" Re-Edit)

"Chain Reaction" is a song by American singer Diana Ross, released on November 12, 1985, as the second single from her sixteenth studio album, Eaten Alive (1985). The song was written by the Bee Gees and contains additional vocals from Barry Gibb. Sonically, "Chain Reaction" is an R&B and dance-pop song. According to the Gibbs' biography, the brothers had initial reservations about offering the song to Ross in case it was too Motown-like for her.The single became Ross's second No. 1 hit in the UK Singles Chart. It also hit No. 1 in Australia—where it became the best selling single of 1986—Ireland, and Zimbabwe. In New Zealand, it peaked at No. 3 and it made the top 5 in South Africa. In 1993, the song entered the UK top 20 again, when it was re-released to commemorate Ross's 30th anniversary in show business. The song fared poorly in the US, where it initially peaked at No. 95 on the Billboard Hot 100 in late 1985. A few months later, a remixed version of the song was issued as a single (Ross performed this version of the song on the American Music Awards, which she hosted that year). The new version re-entered the chart and performed better, stalling at No. 66 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 77 on the Cash Box Top 100
