(1971)"I'm Still Waiting" is a popular song by
Diana Ross which first appeared on her 1971 album "Everything Is Everything".Written and produced by Deke Richards,"I'm Still Waiting" continued the vein of sophisticated soul as heard on her breakthrough solo hit "
Ain't No Mountain High Enough ." Despite this, it was a mild success in the US, reaching #63 on theBillboard Hot 100 singles chart. In theUK singles chart , it reached #1 for four weeks in August 1971, prompting a retitle of the album "Surrender" in the UK to the title of "I'm Still Waiting".Although initially intended only as an album track,
BBC Radio 1 disc jockeyTony Blackburn featured it heavily on his morning programme and persuadedEMI , who then issued allTamla Motown material in the UK, to release it as a single.Former Supreme
Scherrie Payne later covered this song forIan Levine 's UK Motorcity label.Credits
