Forever Glam! - The Best Of 1976-2005 is a greatest hits compilation by French singer Amanda Lear first released in France in November 2005. While there had been numerous CD collections released before, this was the first to be both approved of and promoted by Lear herself.
Besides most of her best known songs from the 70s, 80s, 90s and the 2000s "Forever Glam!" includes two brand new recordings; "Martini Disease", a duet with Italian indieband Jetlag, and Lear's English-French language take on Barry Manilow's 1978 hit "Copacabana". The compilation also contains two rarities that have never been available on CD before; evergreens "As Time Goes By" and "Bye Bye Baby" recorded in 1985 and previously only issued as part of long-deleted Italian EP "A L." Other non-album tracks included on this release are 1984 European hit single "Assasino", her 2000 duet with Giorgio Moroder, "From Here To Eternity", a technofied remix by DJ Eric D. Clark of Moroder's 1978 hit, and the Pumpin' Dolls remix of 2001 single "I Just Wanna Dance Again".
