Sam Fox Samantha Fox - 80s Model and Singer
Ah yes! Remember this? Mick Fleetwood and Sam Fox host the worst ever Brit Awards on 18th February 1989.  This 80s computer game kept many spotty teenage computer geeks happy for hours in their bedrooms! Yes it's Samantha Fox Strip Poker on the Sinclair ZX Spectrum.
Samantha Fox - Touch Me (1986) Touch Me was Sam Fox's debut single and reached No.3 in the UK singles chart. It was a No.1 in Canada, Switzerland, Sweden and Australia. Sam released three albums and 12 singles during the 80s. Three other singles were released from the debut album, Touch Me, and these were; "Do Ya Do Ya (Wanna Please Me) (No.10 - UK), Hold On Tight (No.26 - UK) and "I'm All You Need (No.47 - UK). During the 80s, Sam Fox was one of the most well-known Page 3 girls. Her modelling career actually only lasted for a few short years between 1983 and 1986, when she retired at just 20 years old! In 1986 Sammy started a successful music career, releasing three albums between 1986 and 1988. Her first single was "Touch Me - I Wanna Feel Your Body" which reached No.3 in the UK charts in March '86. During the eighties she had eight UK Top 40 singles, but was also successful in many other countries, too. Her last 80s single release was a cover of "I Only Wanna Be With You" which reached No.16 in the UK charts. Sam tried to relaunch her music career in 1991 with the album "Just One Night", but failed to enter the Top 40 in the UK, although it was a hit in Canada. In 1995, Sam Fox entered the "Song For Europe" contest as lead singer of the group Sox, with the song "Go For The Heart". Unfortunately, Sox only came fourth in the public vote and, therefore, couldn't be entered into the Eurovision Song Contest.
Album Discography:
Samantha Fox - Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now (1987) This was Sam's second most successful hit single (after Touch Me) and was the first single from her second 80's album, Samantha Fox. If you think it sounds familiar to many other late eighties hits then that's because it was produced by none other than Stock, Aitken and Waterman. Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now reached No.8 in the UK but was a hit in many other countries, and managed No.2 in Switzerland. However, it failed to impress the Americans reaching only No.80 in the U.S. Sam Fox and Steve Argue on "The Club" Sam Fox 80s Photos
