Swept Away is a 1984 album released by American singer Diana Ross on the RCA label. The album returned Ross back to chart success a year after her 1983 album, Ross, tanked. This album yielded the top 20 songs the Daryl Hall-assisted "Swept Away" and the Julio Iglesias duet, "All of You", and the top 10 pop and number one R&B single, the Lionel Richie-produced "Missing You", which was a tribute to late soul singer Marvin Gaye, who was Ross and Richie's former Motown Records label mate and had died that year. It also included the top 20 R&B single, "Telephone", produced by Nile Rodgers. The album was certified gold by the end of the year, selling approximately 800,000+ copies and peaked at #26 on Billboard's Top 200 Album Charts, making this her highest Chart Position until "Blue" and "I Love You"...2006 and 2007 respectively.
