DVD release

Divas of Disco is a live video album recorded on April 25, 2007 at Avalon, Hollywood, performed by CeCe Peniston, Thelma Houston, Linda Clifford, A Taste Of Honey and France Joli, and the whole concert was later on issued also on CD (in 2010).

Contents

The work was released in 2008 on ZYX Music for Europe, including a bonus material (biographies and backstage interviews with singers), while in the United States on RSM Records in 2009.

CD release

Unlike the DVD album, its CD equivalent missed additional tracks ("Runaway Love" by Linda Clifford, "Love and Happiness" by Thelma Houston, and "Heart to Break the Heart" by France Joli).

The album included the Peniston two number one hits scored in the US Dance chart, Finally" and "Keep On Walkin'", which charted also in the US Hot 100, and her cover version of a Donna Summer's number three hit from 1978, "Last Dance".

"Keep On Walkin'" (number three in the US R&B) was earlier issued as the virtual lead track of the Peniston digital "EP Live", released by One Media Publishing in 2008. In addition, the three track extended play was available also in CDr format since January 14, 2011.
