"The Force Behind the Power" is a 1991 album, released by Diana Ross on the Motown label. Featuring production from the likes of James Anthony Carmichael who used to work with The Commodores and Lionel Richie, Stevie Wonder and Peter Asher, the album saw Ross moving in a more adult contemporary direction. The album yielded the top 40 R&B ballad, "When You Tell Me That You Love Me", which also made UK # 2. Although the album was not as successful in the USA, it was a double platinum hit (600,000 copies sold) in the U.K. and yielded 5 top 40 hits.
The song "If We Hold On Together" was prominently featured as the closing credits theme for the Don Bluth animated children's film, The Land Before Time (1988). This song was a huge hit in Japan where it remained in the Number One position for 12 weeks. Japanese band "NICOTINE" also did a cover of the song in their 2004 album "Discovered", and Jordin Sparks performed the song on a 2007 episode of "American Idol".
The U.K. edition of "The Force Behind the Power" has an additional track, "No Matter What You Do," which is a duet with Al B. Sure!.
