美國歌壇天后［黛安娜蘿絲］──流行迪斯可舞曲──［What You Gave Me／你給我的］

When I was down

And life was filled with emptiness

You gave me love

A tender love to take the loneliness away

Oh, happy days

That lifted darkness from my eyes

And made me see

The dawn of happiness arrive and bring to me

A special love

Just your touch

I feel such joy and ecstasy

Life is gay

Instead of pity and sympathy

You gave me love

Wonderful love

Sweet, sweet love

Like a child

I was helpless and alone

And so I cried

But you came and held me close

And dried my eyes

Im satisfied

I feel content to know the

Heavens made you mine

Cause here on earth

I never thought that I could find

Such a tender love

Like a toy

I just sat there on the shelf

Till the day that you came

To take me for yourself

And gave me love

Wonderful love

Thank you darling

Thank you honey

You gave me love

Bless the name

That I took with no regrets

For the years have come and gone

Its just like when first weve met

You gave me love

Wonderful love

Sweet, sweet love

I bless the day you came my way

You gave me love

Thank you baby

Bless you honey

Sweet baby

Wonderful love

Tender love

Im satisfied yeah

１９７８年９月　３４歲的美國黑人天后黛安娜蘿絲（Diana Ross）發行新歌加舊曲的半原創／選輯大碟［Ross］

首支單曲［Lovin’, Livin’, Givin’］只以混音在舞廳播放　拿到迪斯可榜（舞曲榜）＃３５

１９７８年底　唱片公司以［What You Gave Me／你給我的］為第二主打

歐洲只在少數地區商業發行, 美國則是首支正式單曲  以7吋+１２吋唱片宣傳

此曲由ckolas Ashford, Valerie Simpson譜寫　

原本由Marvin Gaye＆Tammi Terrell在１９６９年灌錄

蘿絲１９７８年灌錄

Hal Davis製作　Art Wright編曲　是首流行迪斯可舞曲　節拍討巧

由於沒特別宣傳 此曲反應冷淡  只登上舞曲榜＃３５　靈魂榜＃８６

［Ross］大碟兩首單曲表現不佳　導致只打入美國Billboard專輯榜＃４９（靈魂榜＃３２）　英國沒入榜

加上評價普通　成為蘿絲事業一張容意被忽略的專輯
