Fly Away is a 1978 album by the French disco group, Voyage. Their second release repeated the success of their debut released earlier in the year. All the cuts on Fly Away hit number one on the U.S. disco chart early in 1979 for one week.[2] Unlike the cuts on their debut album, one track from Fly Away made the Billboard Hot 100 chart, when "Souvenirs" made it to number 41. The track also became Voyage's second and last chart entry in the U.S., reaching no. 73 on the soul singles chart. In the U.K., "Souvenirs" and "Let's Fly Away" both charted, reaching no. 56 and no. 38 respectively, with the latter their last U.K. chart entry.[3]

"Souvenirs" became a disco staple and a disco smash hit in the Philippines during the Rise of Disco Music in the early 1980s.[4]
