Funky Dory


 
 

Funky Dory is the debut solo album by Rachel Stevens, formerly of the pop group S Club 7. Funky Dory was released in the UK on September 29th 2003 off the back of the #2 debut single 'Sweet Dreams My LA Ex', reaching #9 in the UK album chart. However, it would fall away in subsequent weeks almost without a trace, and when the single 'Funky Dory' was released in December 2003, only charting at #26, the album failed to resurface.
