Forever Glam! - The Best Of 1976-2005 is a compilation by French singer Amanda Lear, first released in France in November of 2005. While there had been numerous compilations released before, this was the first one to be both approved of and promoted by Amanda Lear herself.
Besides most - but not all - of her best known songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s and 00s "Forever Glam!" also offers two brand new recordings; "Martini Disease" - a duet with Italian indieband Jetlag and a dance cover version of Barry Manilow's "Copacabana", aswell as two rare tracks that had never been released on CD before; "As Time Goes By" and "Bye Bye Baby" recorded in 1985 and previously only available on a long-deleted Italian 12" single. Other standout tracks are the 1984 non-album hit single "Assasino" and her 2000 duet with Giorgio Moroder, "From Here To Eternity", a remix of his 1978 hit.
