Review

Everyone from Broadway queen Ethel Merman to polka king Jimmy Sturr recorded disco albums at the peak of the music's popularity, and va-va-voom actress Ann-Margret is no exception -- the critical difference is that this 1980 MCA release isn't half bad, thanks to club Svengali Paul Sabu's Miami-inspired production and its headliner's carnal appeal. Titles like the club hit "Love Rush," "Midnight Message," and "What I Do to Men" signify the album's aims -- Ann-Margret oozes sex, her breathy voice proving an ideal fit with disco's erotic sensibilities. Sabu's conga rhythms and funky guitar are no less critical to the end result -- it's a novelty record, sure, but a damn good one. ~ Jason Ankeny, Rovi
