Fearless, Tim Curry's second album, came out on A&M on 28 June 1979, and this time the man who played Dr. Frank-N-Furter in The Rocky Horror Picture Show wasn't hiding behind other people's songs. His debut, Read My Lips, had been all covers; here Curry wrote nearly everything, teaming up with producer Michael Kamen and Dick Wagner, late of Lou Reed's camp.
What comes out is glam rock with a theatrical leer, Curry's big, sly voice hamming it up when the song wants it and going for the throat when it doesn't. "I Do the Rock" did the business, sneaking to number 91 on the Hot 100, his best showing as a singles act in America, and the album climbed to 53 on the Billboard 200, the biggest seller of his recording career. "Paradise Garage" went out as a single in a few countries, and decades on Joe Bonamassa dug up "No Love on the Street" for his 2011 album Dust Bowl.
