Samantha Fox - Touch Me (I Want Your Body) (Jive)

Anyone seen that film A Chorus Line yet? Well there's a song in it in which a girl keeps singing about how 'Tits and arse can change your life' and it could've been written for Sam! From glamour model to disco queen, Sam does actually have a good voice, but I think it's wasted on this cliché of a song. The groaning bits (presumably while they're doing it - ooh, shock, gasp! (Hadn't the DJs better ban this one?) sound silly rather than sexy, but as she can do no wrong at the moment... 1/5 (Debbi Voller, No 1, March 8, 1986)

Isn't there something Sammy's mother forgot to tell her when she was young? Like, how not to talk to strange men offering sweeties - and how not to make a complete dick-head of yourself by letting people persuade you there a biological correlation between having big tits and a talent for singing. The only organ of the body this late Seventies Hi-NRG wind-up is likely to move is your diaphragm as last night's Chicken Biryani comes up for air. Sammy could have had a hit with anything - why be so obvious? She's been dumped you see, and all she wants is for her man to go back and touch her. There you are girls, what's £550,000 a year and a pair of massive knockers if you haven't got the love of a good man to come home to? (Eleanor Levy, Record Mirror, March 8, 1986)

It's true! She has made a record!! And as you'll have gathered from the title its full of groans and gasps and "I'm just begging for you" lines to keep the pervs happy. The "tune" sounds like your average Jennifer Rush record, only sung a thousand octaves higher. She does manage to hit the intended notes, though, which makes it only mildly embarrassing. (Sylvia Patterson, Smash Hits, March 12, 1986)

Note: It's interesting that all three reviews are by women. While Linda Lusardi and Maria Whittaker (fellow Page 3 models) also both released a single, at least Sam went on to have a decent music career.
