Why This Record Matters
How To Be A Zillionaire! is ABC's 1985 studio album, written and produced by Martin Fry and Mark White. The album includes "Be Near Me" and "(How To Be A) Millionaire" and combines the group's pop songwriting with the synth-driven production characteristic of its mid-1980s period. Roger Webb arranged and conducted the album, with the Mike Sammes Singers appearing on several selections.
