"Eaten Alive" is a 1985 single released by Diana Ross on the RCA label. It was the first release off her "Eaten Alive" album. The song was written and produced by Ross' old friend Michael Jackson and co-composed by The Bee Gees. Jackson and Barry Gibb can be heard singing in the background of the song with Jackson at times co-singing lead with Ross. The danceable song became a modest hit on the Pop Singles chart peaking at number seventy-seven while faring much better on the R&B singles chart where it peaked at number ten helped by BET's heavy rotation of the music video. The video, inspired by "The Island of Doctor Moreau" was directed by Bob Giraldi and featured the singer playing a cat-like demon seducing a man played by Joseph Gian after having been pursued by chimeras.
