Eaten Alive is Diana Ross's fifteenth studio album , released in August 1985 and named after the song of the same name.

history

The recording sessions for the album took a very long time. Like the previous albums Silk Electric , Ross and Swept Away , this album was one of those by Ross, who suffered poor sales in the United States. Outside of the United States, the album's sales success was carried through the hit Chain Reaction .

In 2006, original demos of the album, performed by Barry Gibb of the Bee Gees , were released on iTunes . However, there were no demos of the songs Eaten Alive and Chain Reaction . Later, in the spring of 2009, the entire demos were taken out of the network due to a violation of digital rights management .
