Amanda Lear ~ Aphrodisiac (2002)

Amanda Tapp (birth name) was born on 11 November 1946 in Hong Kong to a French-English father and an Asian-Russian mother.
She was raised in south of France and moved to Paris to make a career in painting.
She became a top model and one of Salvador Dali's muses. She posed as the "lady with the panther" on the famous cover of Roxy Music's "For Your Pleasure" album of 1973. Then David Bowie fell in love with her and she began her career as a disco singer. To create more hype about her they invented the story that she is a transsexual.
Since the early '80s she has presented TV broadcast in Italy, France and Germany.

Amanda Lear first surfaced in the early '70s as a fetishistically clothed album-cover model for Roxy Music.

She was said to be a transsexual but, as she told interview magazine, that was just a ruse dreamed up by her sponsor, David Bowie, to draw attention. Her importance to disco fans, however, began in 1977, when she recorded I Am a Photograph in Germany with production help from Tony Monn. I Am a Photograph is the first of six sleazy, hard-to-find albums in which she flaunts a voice so heavy with low notes it makes one wonder if she really isn't a man after all.

But Lear's slow notes are simply an exaggeration of the whiskey-voiced sultriness created by Marlene Dietrich. That isn't to say, however, that Lear's lyrics - or the music's inverted proportions - don't exploit her mythology as a kinky concoction to the bursting point.
