Rod Stewart - Body Wishes
Wikipedia:
Body Wishes is a studio album released by Rod Stewart on June 10, 1983 (see 1983 in music). It was Stewart’s 12th studio album and was released on Warner Bros. Records (WEA 92-3877-1). The tracks were recorded and mixed at The Record Plant, Los Angeles. It produced three singles, “Baby Jane”, “What Am I Gonna Do (I'm So in Love With You)", and “Sweet Surrender”.
The cover is a parody of Elvis Presley's 1959 album 50,000,000 Elvis Fans Can't Be Wrong.
Body Wishes has received poor reviews. Stephen Thomas Erlewine of AllMusic gave the album 1.5 out of 5 stars, calling it "one of Rod Stewart's worst efforts." In the same review, "Baby Jane" and "What Am I Gonna Do (I'm So in Love With You)" are described as "first-rate, synth-laden pop/rock filler" that sound "substantial" in comparison to the other songs on the album. The album has sold more than 9 million copies, worldwide.
Similarly, Rolling Stone magazine, at the time of its release, gave it 2 out of 5 stars, calling it "his latest and surely one of his least", although they did praise the opening song, "Dancing Alone", calling it "a Chuck Berry-styled Rock & Roller that is both lively and witty".
