Amazon customer review:
'Grace's sophomore album hit the stores in 1978, and it was a hit on the club charts. Her debut album the year before presented her to legions of fans, and she even managed to pile of some songs that have become classics over the years, such as: I Need a Man, That's the Trouble and of course, La Vie en Rose. Her second album was also produced by Tom Moulton. Fame continues the tradition of a medley on Side A, and this time is no different. The nearly twenty-minute long medley on Fame starts with the lead single of the album Do or Die and ends with the second single Fame, with Pride stacked in between. Both Do or Die and Fame reached number #3 on the Dance charts. By this time, Grace ruled as the Queen of Gay Discos, and she was even the first performer to sing live at the prestigious Studio 54 in 1977. Fame is without a doubt an improvement of Portfolio, with stronger vocals and overall stronger songs, such as the dreamy: Am I Ever Going to Fall in Love in New York City? The hopelessly romantic All on a Summer's Night and the Rocky-influenced Below the Belt (you have to see a live performance of this song to understand what I'm saying, it's just awesome). Grace would further improve on her skills as a disco entertainer, and she would reach her disco peak in 1979 with the stunning album Muse. '
A humble THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You've got some very special music here.
