'"My Old Piano'" is a song by American R&B singer Diana Ross. It was written and produced by Chic members Nile Rodgers and Bernard Edwards for her self-titled tenth studio album (1980). In it, Ross sings about the joy of playing a piano, describing it as if it were a person. The song was released as the album's third and final single in the United States, and the second single elsewhere. In an accompanying music video, Ross appears performing the song in an apartment with an old piano.[http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xcysa_diana-ross-my-old-piano_music music video in Dailymotion.com]

Unlike previous singles "Upside Down" and "I'm Coming Out", "My Old Piano" was not as successful in the United States (as it was issued as a single nearly two years after the album's release, by which time Ross had departed Motown Records); however, it was a commercial success in Europe, particularly in the United Kingdom, where it was a Top 10 hit and earned her a British Phonographic Industry (BPI) silver disc award for sales in excess of 250,000 copies.
