Description:

British pinup turned pop star Samantha Fox collected a healthy number of dance-pop hits in the late 1980s and early 1990s, and they are all collected on this Best Of set. Her early hits, including the steamy Top Ten “Touch Me (I Want Your Body),” which kick-started her career, and its follow-up, the almost-rocker “Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me),” are prime examples of classic 1980s pop, with just a hint of hair-band rock (especially evident on “Spirit of America”). From there the album moves into the straight pop of “Nothing’s Gonna Stop Me Now,” which was produced by hit-making machine Stock, Aiken and Waterman, as was her bubblegum (but highly satisfying) version of Dusty Springfield’s “I Only Wanna Be With You.” Her other big U.S. Top Five hit, “Naughty Girls (Need Love Too),” is also present. In the early 1990s, Fox’s music took a more straight-forward house/dance turn, evident on great singles like the Top Ten “I Wanna Have Some Fun” and the steamy, red-hot “Love House.” Other highlights include the catchy dance track “I Promise You”. Also included are several rarities, including the guitar-heavy “Giving Me A Hard Time,” and “Even In The Darkest Hours.” The only tune we really miss is the terrific single “Another Woman (Too Many People)” (arguably one of her best songs) but overall a surprisingly diverse collection from a singer many regarded as little more than a commercial gimmick

About the Artist:

Samantha Karen Fox (born 15 April 1966) is an English singer, songwriter, actress, and former glamour model. In 1983, at age 16, she began appearing as a topless model on Page 3 of British tabloid newspaper The Sun, and continued as a Page 3 girl until 1986. During this time, she became the most popular pin-up girl of her era, as well as one of the most photographed British women of the 1980s.

In 1986, she launched a pop music career with her debut single "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)", which peaked at number-one in 17 countries. Fox had three songs reach the top 10 on the Billboard Hot 100 including Touch Me (I Want Your Body), Naughty Girls (Need Love Too) and I Wanna Have Some Fun.

In 1988, Fox received a Brit Award nomination for Best British Female Artist. She has also appeared in a number of films and reality television shows, and has occasionally worked as a television presenter.

Review:

This album is a great review of all greatest hits of Samantha Fox (pop and sex diva od late eighties) Starting with the first giant hit Touch Me (I Want Your Body) you will find on it also other songs, like Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now (written by well known producers trio Stock-Aitken-Waterman, that also made music for Rick Astley, Kylie Minogue...), classic dance hits I Wanna Have Some Fun, Love House and many more. This compilation is a mixture of easy pop tunes of eighties with elements of dance music, that sometimes makes you want to dance. All songs are in normal radio versions. I enjoy listening Samantha Fox's songs when I was younger, so I bought this CD recently, although I have all his albums on LPs. But they are mostly damaged because they were frequently played on my record-player so the tune is in bad quality. So, fans of music of eighties, let's make up your minds and buy this record. It is definitely worth buying.
