  • Polydor 2 Hot! is an album by American vocalist duo Peaches & Herb. The album was issued in 1978. It was the strongest performing album by the duo on the Billboard charts, where it topped the R&B Albums chart and reached the second position on the Pop Albums chart. 2 Hot notably featured the disco hit "Shake Your Groove Thing" and the No. 1 R&B and pop ballad, "Reunited".

Reception

The AllMusic review by Andrew Hamilton stated: "Disco jams and sweet ballads are featured on Peaches & Herb's return to the charts after a long absence... This new Peaches oozed sexuality, and her voice could raise the dead... The duo's specialty were ballads, and 'Four's a Traffic Jam' is a beauty, Fame's sweet falsetto and Greene's sexy phrasings are intoxicating."
