Voyage was a European disco group, consisting of lead vocalist Sylvia Mason-James, along with Slim Pezin (guitar/vocals), Marc Chantereau (keyboards/vocals), Sauveur Mallia (bass) and Pierre-Alain Dahan (drums/vocals).
Their lone Billboard Hot 100 entry was "Souvenirs," which hit number forty-one in 1979. They had more success on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart, where two of their albums, Voyage (1978) and Fly Away (1979), hit number one.
In the UK, the group had three chart singles. A double A-side, "From East To West" / "Scotch Machine" (the latter song retitled "Scots Machine" because the term "Scotch" is generally considered offensive in Scotland) reached number thirteen in 1978, while later that same year "Souvenirs" made number fifty-six.Their last impact on the charts came in 1979 when "Let's Fly Away" peaked at number thirty-eight.
I first heard this song when I had the 2 record set A Night At Studio 54. This song was one of the best tracks on a fantastic LP...and remains one of the best disco songs of all time.
