"Chain Reaction" is a melodic R&B song, sung by Diana Ross, and written by the Bee Gees, who also provided the backing vocals for the single. The track was released on the album ''Eaten Alive'' in 1985 and as a single twice - in 1985 and again in 1986. 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 Diana's second #1 hit in the UK Singles Chart. The song also hit #1 in Australia and was the top selling single of the year (1986) in that country. In New Zealand, it peaked at No. 3. In 1993, the song broke the UK top 20 again. The song fared poorly in the US where it initially peaked at a disappointing #95 on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100 late in 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, but with the diminished momentum, it stalled at #66 in ''Billboard'' and #77 in ''Cash Box''. Nearly thirty years later, the song stands as Ross's last appearance on both 100-position charts. ==Music video== At the beginning of the video, Ross performed the song on a stage in front of spectators, while we see scenes in color and black-and-white photography. The scenes in black-and-white photography are live performances by the Supremes on video dar. the way Ross has the hit on a street with background dancers in a studio. While the band finished in the black and white scenes of their show, dancing with the audience and using a combination of both color scenes a producer gets in a cab from a nervous breakdown. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Chain Reaction (Diana Ross song)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
