Grace Jones - Fame (1978/2015) [Official Digital Download 24/192]

„Fame“ is a classic disco stormer from Grace Jones - recorded at Sigma Sound with a real Philly groove, thanks to arrangements from John Monster Davis - and produced with a full, soaring sound from the legendary Tom Moulton!

The set may well be Grace's true club classic from the late 70s - a record that works both on the quirky levels of her early rise to fame, and on the more soulful expectations mainstream clubgoers had at the time - a beautiful balance that owes plenty to the input from Davis and Moulton!
