Samantha Karen Fox was born April 15, 1966, in Mile End, London, to parents Patrick and Carole. Growing up in a middle class family, Samantha had two childhood dreams: to become a policewoman or a singer. One of these has already been achieved.
But her fame came in the form of another direction, and can be attributed to fate and her sexy looks. A high school student, Samantha was discovered by the Sun tabloid while studying for her exams. After her first appearance as a topless model in the "Page 3" feature of the paper, her popularity went through the roof.
Her work as a Page 3 girl for several years made her famous, but Samantha wanted to pursue her dream of singing professionally (she wanted to sound like Stevie Nicks), and in 1985, that dream came true.
Her debut album, aptly titled Touch Me, was released in 1987 and went gold after the release of the first single, "Touch Me (I Want Your Body)." With the help of catchy and controversial lyrics, the single sold more than four million copies worldwide, and helped make Samantha an international star.
Her celebrity grew even more when she guest VJed on MTV in the US, and her pin-up status didn't hurt things either. Her sophomore album, Samantha Fox was released in 1987, and despite the critics' calling her a former topless model trying to be a singer, she proved naysayers wrong by creating quite a fan base. Samantha Fox spawned the hit "Naughty Girls (Need Love Too)" and "Nothing's Gonna Stop Me Now."
Samantha's streak continued with the release of her third album, I Wanna Have Some Fun, in 1988. Again she gained some success with "Next To Me" and "Love House," but the success and praise were never amongst critics. |
