Ain't No Mountain High Enough" is a song written by Nickolas Ashford & Valerie Simpson in 1966 for the Tamla label, a division of Motown. The composition was first successful as a 1967 hit single recorded by Marvin Gaye and Tammi Terrell, and became a hit again in 1970 when recorded by former Supremes frontwoman Diana Ross. The song became Ross's first solo number-one hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and was nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Female Pop Vocal Performance.

When Barry Gordy chose Diana Ross to sing lead for the song “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”, I must admit that she was a good choice for that song. She had a soft & light voice and it was very soothing.

“If you need me, call me.”
She sounded very sexy and persuasive with her words.
“Just call my name.
I’ll be there in a hurry.
On that you can depend and never worry.
You see, my love is alive.”

Simple words she made beautiful with her voice. It was like listening to a beautiful poem at first for someone who needed someone. And then Miss Ross began to sing, “

Ain’t No Mountain High Enough”.

She sounded as if she was calling from a mountain. It didn’t matter how far away you were. You didn’t have to worry because high and low somebody was going to be there no matter what. That’s what Diana Ross was telling you. She had a way of reaching us with a powerful vocal.

Miss Ross sang “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” as if the song was her very own. There is so much feeling when you here it. Tammi Terrell and Marvin Gaye’s version was awesome and so was Diana’s version.
