Who sang the hit song "Touch Me In The Morning"?

Diana Ross sang the hit song "Touch Me in the Morning." Released by Motown on May 3, 1973, it became the title track of Ross's album and one of her most successful solo recordings.

The song was written by Ron Miller and Michael Masser, with Masser also serving as a producer alongside Tom Baird. Masser developed the musical idea and worked with Miller, a respected Motown lyricist known for emotionally direct ballads. Ross reportedly found the recording demanding, pushing herself through repeated vocal takes to capture its dramatic, vulnerable tone.

The single reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Ross's second solo chart-topper. It also topped Billboard's adult contemporary chart, making it especially relevant to the category in which this trivia question appears. Background vocals included Sherlie Matthews, Clydie King, and Venetta Fields.

A common mix-up is confusing the song with Ross's earlier Motown hits as lead singer of the Supremes, such as "You Can't Hurry Love." "Touch Me in the Morning" was a solo Diana Ross recording.
