STILL SUPREME On her new CD, Ross (pictured in 1973) shows there's still a lot to Love about her voice

The deluxe edition's DVD photo gallery proves it: At 62, the original Dreamgirl remains a natural beauty, one capable of conjuring seductive moods. The music on I Love You makes an equal case: Her voice, alluring as ever, is flecked with appealing new hints of vulnerability. Though these love-themed tracks suffer from unimaginative arrangements — ''More Today Than Yesterday'' is all backbeat and predictable horns — Diana Ross transcends the settings, whether radiating tenderness (''What About Love'') or exuberance (Jackie Wilson's ''To Be Loved'').
