"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 the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart. In the UK 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 jockey Tony Blackburn featured it heavily on his morning programme and persuaded EMI, who then issued all Tamla Motown material in the UK, to release it as a single.

Former Supreme Scherrie Payne later covered this song for Ian Levine's UK Motorcity label.
