Forever Glam!

Forever Glam! is a greatest hits compilation by French singer Amanda Lear released in France in November 2005. While there had been numerous CD collections with Amanda Lear released before, this was the first to be both approved of and promoted by Lear herself.
Besides most of her best known songs from the 70s combined with selected tracks from the 80s, 90s and 2000s Forever Glam! includes two new recordings; "Martini Disease", a duet with Italian indieband Jetlag on which Lear recites Charles Baudelaire, and her English-French language take on Barry Manilow's 1978 hit "Copacabana". The compilation also contains two rarities that have never been available on CD before; the evergreens "As Time Goes By" and "Bye Bye Baby", recorded in 1985 and previously only issued as part of the long-deleted Italian EP A L. Other non-album tracks included on this release are 1984 single "Assasino", her 2000 duet with Giorgio Moroder, "From Here To Eternity", a technofied remix by DJ Eric D. Clark of Moroder's 1978 hit, and the Pumpin' Dolls remix of 2001 single "I Just Wanna Dance Again".
