About
"Fame" is the second studio album by Grace Jone. It was released on July 14, 1978. Just like on her debut album, Portfolio, side A is a continuous Tom Moulton-disco medley, with a total running time of 18:47. As Portfolio opened with "La Vie en rose", side B on "Fame" also opens with a French language cover, Jacques Prévert's "Autumn Leaves (Les Feuilles Mortes)". The Canadian edition of the original vinyl album included another French language track, "Comme Un Oiseau Qui S'envole", which, in most other territorie, was issued as the B-side of the single "Do or Die". In Italy, the song "Anema E Core" was included on the album. The album was a hit on the American dance scene, rocketing into the top 10 on the dance chart. The "Do or Die"/"Pride"/"Fame" side reached #3 on the U.S. Billboard dance club play chart. Gold Legion, a record company that specializes in reissuing classic disco albums on CD, re-released it on the format in November 2011, remastered and with no bonus track. .
