Dancing Queen is the twenty-sixth studio album by American singer and actress Cher, released by Warner Bros. Records on September 28, 2018. It is Cher's first album in five years, following Closer to the Truth (2013). The album contains cover versions of songs recorded by Swedish pop group ABBA, with the title referencing their 1976 song "Dancing Queen". The album follows Cher's appearance in the 2018 musical film Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again, based on the music of ABBA.

Sometimes it's destiny. In the case of pianist/vocalist Champian Fulton: Her father, Stephen Fulton, is a jazz trumpeter who, early on, exposed his daughter to the sounds of classic jazz, to the exclusion of the then current popular sounds. Also, legendary trumpeter Clark Terry, Stephen's friend, hung around the Fulton house from Champian's earliest days, and slipped into a mentoring role for the young woman as she became a professional in her pre-teen years. But most tellingly, upon entering kindergarten Fulton experienced her first exposure to the popular music of the day, including the vapid artistry of Madonna. Champian, the musically precocious five year old, found these sounds lacking, so she brought a Charlie Parker album to class for show and tell.

2008 lavish five CD compilation. It would be impossible to come up with a more prestigious retrospective of the career of this unusual musician and founding member of the band Smokie. His 1986 debut solo single 'Midnight Lady' was a mega-hit all over Europe and stayed at #1 in the German singles charts for six weeks. His solo career has continued to blossom, earning him legions of hardcore fans around the world.

Восьмидесятые... Годы побросавших гитары и соорудивших на головах модные перекисные взрывы парней из предыдущего десятилетия. Годы, когда казалось, что "video kills the radiostars", а ритм-компьютеры - живых барабанщиков. Годы проникших почти всюду евродиско и электропопа. Годы стерильного звука, признанного нынче анахронизмом более жутким, нежели даже довоенные советские песни. Удивительное дело: даже в эти жуткие годы некоторым удавалось создать нечто стоящее.
Бедолага Крис! Угораздило бывшего гитариста и певца Smokie начать сольную карьеру в столь безобразное время! Лишь огневая поддержка старого товарища по группе и постоянного соавтора, ударника Пита Спенсера, смогла превратить потенциально неплохие боевики вроде "Sarah (You Take My Breath Away)" и "Chain Reaction" в нечто большее, нежели просто "новые песни мастера софт-рока".
