Silk Electric is a 1982 album released by American entertainer Diana Ross on the RCA label. It reached #27 on the US Billboard 200 (#5 R&B), #33 in the UK Albums Chart and the top 20 in Sweden, Norway and the Netherlands. The album cover was designed by Andy Warhol. The album contains Ross' Top 10, Grammy-nominated single, "Muscles", which was produced and written by Michael Jackson. All other tracks were produced by Ross. The song "I Am Me" is incorrectly listed as written by Cindy Birdsong instead of Janie Bradford on the Diana Ross Greatest Hits - The RCA Years compilation album. The album was certified Gold in the US and Silver in the UK.
Ross toured in support of the album in the US, Europe, Australia and Asia.
In 1984, with a different arrangement, the song "In Your Arms", written by Linda Creed & Michael Masser, was covered by Teddy Pendergrass and Whitney Houston as "Hold Me".
The album was remastered and re-released on September 2, 2014 by Funky Town Grooves as an "Expanded Edition", with bonus material.
