I Love Men is a 1984 studio album by Eartha Kitt, her first album recorded for 14 years. The album was recorded in New York at the Power Station. Produced by French record producer Jacques Morali, who had previously produced recordings by the Village People and The Ritchie Family. This album features Kitt performing Euro disco, dance tracks. The first single released from the album "Where Is My Man" had been previously released in 1983 and had returned Kitt to the UK charts after an absence of 28 years. The single reached #36 after entering the chart in November 1983 and charted in several European countries.[1] and also made the Top 10 of the US Billboard dance chart, where it reached #7.[2] The title track "I Love Men" was issued as the second single and this charted in the UK at #50 in the summer of 1984. The success of this album led to new collaboration between Kitt and Jacques Morali in 1985 when the recorded two more tracks, "I Don't Care" and "This Is My Life" the later also went on to chart in the UK in 1986 at #73.[3] These tracks were also added to later re-issues of the original album.
