The legendary Diana Ross released the R&B song “Touch Me in the Morning” in 1973. The song was a hit, reaching No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. It was her second number one song as a solo artist, after “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough.” It was also her first No. 1 Adult Contemporary hit.
Ron Miller wrote the song “Touch Me in the Morning.” When speaking about the lyrics, he said, “I had already dreamed up this title, ‘Touch Me in the Morning,’ but I didn’t have the vaguest idea what it meant … So I analyzed Diane as a person. I said, ‘Well, this girl is out on her own now. She’s an adult and a movie star. She’s also a contemporary woman and … much more liberal about expressing her sexual values. Whereas once upon a time, only a man could say something like that, now a liberated woman like Diane could. However, though she’s ostensibly a sophisticated woman, she’s still crying inside to be touched in the morning.’ It was just a very cold, calculated and wonderful job of crafting.”
Michael Masser, who produced the song, revealed that Ross tried very hard to get the vocals right and recorded several different takes. He called the process a “draining experience,” according to SongFacts.
“Touch Me in the Morning” was used in an episode of The Sopranos and the 1996 movie Phenomenon with John Travolta. It has also been covered by several artists, such as Andy Williams and Marlena Shaw.

Ross had many other hits throughout her illustrious career, including “I’m Coming Out,” “Endless Love,” “Love Hangover,” and “Upside Down.” She has two stars on the Hollywood Walk of Fame and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Supremes. The band also had several memorable hits, including “Baby Love,” “Stop! In the Name of Love,” “Where Did Our Love Go,” and “Someday We’ll Be Together.”
Ross is currently 82. She is still actively touring and performing her music for fans across the country.
