1st Step to Heaven is a 1986 album by Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, released on Dean Records via Ariola in Europe.
It is their only album in English rather than German. Singer Gabi Delgado-López later noted: "So we wanted to break our own rules and said: OK, so now we sing in English, now we don’t wear black. (laughing) With purpose. Because we wanted to break our own rules." [2]
The album charted for one week on the Swedish album charts at No. 46. [3] The first single from the album, "Voulez-vous coucher avec moi ce soir" (an original, though the title is a quote from the lyrics of " Lady Marmalade"), reached No. 47 on the German singles chart (charting for 7 weeks) and No. 17 on the Belgian singles chart (charting for 5 weeks). [4] Another single, "Brothers", reached No. 23 on the Belgian singles chart (charting for 4 weeks). [5]
The band reunited to make the album but split again soon after its release.
A variant track listing was released in the US as Hitz Blitz in 1989.
