This is a real treat-all the full length dance hits from Aimii Stewart's brief appearance on the disco scene. Her version of "Knock on Wood" has become one of the all-time disco standards, and is here in all its glory, together with 12" versions of "Light My Fire" and "The Letter". The album also includes the best tracks from Aimii's two disco albums, such as "Paradise Bird", "Jealousy" and "Step Into the Love Line", each one as good as the released singles. It wisely misses out all the duff tracks from her albums, although I could have done without the lame cover versions that do not showcase her belting vocal talents at all. Sadly, the cracking "He's a Burglar", has been omitted, which would have made this the absolute, ultimate collection. Oh well.... there's still no better Aimii Stewart CD on the market, so go get it!

this lady was doing her thang long before disco became truly popular.Her voice can belt out a tune with true diva like style or can produce the most calming pretty tune. This album is excellent because it demonstrates these qualities in genorous amounts.Light my fire will always belong to this lady, she made it her own.Paradise Bird is just so seventies it isn,t true,Her voice floats and glides sexily over a lush tropical forest backdrop complete with a melody that lifts you away with her. Bring it on back to me is one of those catchy songs that gets inside your soul and puts modern day tunes to shame. Knock on wood takes you back to the seventies school discos so many people remember with such affection. And the album finishes superbly with the haunting and beautiful track friends. Those of us who remeber her television appearances will always recall her amazing visual performances and stunning looks. One gifted lady.

I heard,this Record,for the first time,when i was only,about 3 yrs old!!,and i really liked it!!,it's a must!! Info on cd:Free style,house,dance music Artist from the 70's,Excellent stuff,it's a must!!

The Album is in my car and I play "Knock on Wood" every time I get into my car. The other songs are great also but this is a favorite of mine. Ms Stewart sings many styles - some songs remind me of Sarah Brightman, soft and whispery THEN she picks up the Beat in "Light My Fire" and where ever you are you can't sit still for long. Just enjoy the changes in mood and play again.

Amii Stewart had to be one of the best signature disco or dance music artists there has been. To actually have these original 12" tracks on CD surely brings back memories - and don't be afraid to play them loud and proudly. Music of that era had a lot of passion and feeling & the dance trax of today takes their cue from these.

Naturally it would be good to see her albums re-produced on CD once more but there doesn't appear to be much chance of that - a BIG mistake if you ask me. Meanwhile I recommend this CD. Great quality! We all have our personal favs so will not go into what should have or should not have been on this album as all the songs are excellent. Buy now whilst still available and check out Titanmusicinc where I purchased my copy.

Amii's back for more! 'though her selection seems beneath her obvious talents as a vocalist, she gives it all she's got in these pleasant dance renditions of familiar tunes. Yes, at times she sounds like she is singing from inside an aquarium - in fact, she may be!

This record is in reality more or less ordinary except for the title track. The title track is performed well, and in fact much better than the original.

.
"Knock on wood" with Amii Stewart!

Hottest disco song ever - it still always crowds the disco floors everywhere!

Hottest in 1979 - still hottest!
