Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by the pioneering 'father of the disco mix' Tom Moulton, the debut album from the legendary fashion icon establishes her early persona as a glamorous disco diva. The record features lush, uninterrupted dance suites that heavily repurpose classic Broadway standards, most notably an extended, sweeping rendition of 脡dith Piaf's 'La Vie en rose'. While less avant-garde than her subsequent 1980s reggae-new-wave masterpieces, it remains a crucial document of sophisticated, high-society 70s club music.
