Red Hot Rhythm & Blues is a 1987 album released by Diana Ross on the RCA label. The album was the last contractual album the singer released on RCA before heading back to Motown Records the end of the following year. The album yielded the top 20 R&B hit, "Dirty Looks" and included the lush and atmospheric Luther Vandross-produced ballad "It's Hard for Me to Say". The album also included cover versions of several R&B classics, including The Bobbettes' "Mr. Lee" (a PWL remix of which charted as a single in the UK), Jackie Ross' "Selfish One," Etta James' "Tell Mama," and The Drifters' "There Goes My Baby." A Shep Pettibone remix of "Shockwaves" was released as a single in the UK, but it failed to chart.
