I Love You is Diana Ross' latest album, released in the United Kingdom and some parts of Europe on October 2nd 2006. Diana was inspired to release an album of love songs after she had been looking through a family photo album and wanted to base her next project around the greatest factor in her life: love.

I Love You featured a number of classic love songs such as "I Want You" (penned by Diana's late brother, Arthur "T-Boy" Ross), "Remember", "More Than Yesterday" and "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (featuring Brian May of Queen).
