“Tomorrow” is a song by French singer Amanda Lear, released as the third single in 1977 from her debut album I Am a Photograph, issued in the same year. The song was a hit and remains still today among the Lear’s biggest ones.
Background and composition
“(Voulez-vous Rendez-vous) Tomorrow” is an uptempo disco song, written by Rainer Pietsch and by Amanda Lear herself, who provided the lyrics. The single was released by Ariola Records in most countries, by Polydor in Italy, and Nippon Columbia in Japan. The B-side of the 7″ single in Italy was “The Lady in Black”, and a French language version of “Alphabet” was released in France. “Queen of Chinatown” was the B-side in Spain, Portugal and Brazil, and “Pretty Boys” in Japan. In Poland the song was released in 1978 as a one-sided 7″ flexi disc by Tonpress.
Lear promoted “Tomorrow” by numerous TV appearances and the track became one of her biggest hits of the disco era. It reached number 1 of the chart in Italy in October 1977, and remained her trademark hit, not only, but also there.
In 1998, Lear recorded a new version of the song for the album Back in Your Arms which consisted of re-recordings of her old hits. In 2008, she re-recorded “Tomorrow” again, this time in a Salsa-flavoured style, for the album Amour toujours, which in fact was an updated version of her 2006 With Love album.
