'''''A Fantasy Love Affair''''' is the debut album by [[Peter Brown (singer)|Peter Brown]].<ref name ="allmusic">{{cite web|url={{AllMusic|class=album|id=r66278|pure_url=yes}}|title=''A Fantasy Love Affair''|publisher=Allmusic.com|accessdate=12 April 2011}}</ref> The album was recorded in 1976–77 and released in 1978. It was mastered by [[Ted Jensen]] of Sterling Sound.  It charted #9 on ''[[Billboard magazine|Billboard]]'''s R&B charts and #11 on the Pop chart.  It was successful on the [[disco]] charts as well and spawned four singles, three of which were hits, including "[[Do Ya Wanna Get Funky with Me]]" and "[[Dance with Me (Peter Brown song)|Dance with Me]]".
In the UK the album was titled ''Do You Wanna Get Funky with Me'' and featured a backlit silhouette of a nude woman standing in a window as its sleeve cover. Brown also photographed the album's somewhat controversial cover and revealed, in a 1978 interview in ''[[Rolling Stone]]'', that he had created the cover's nude model out of cardboard, sheer fabric and ribbons. Until then, no one ever suspected it was not a real person. The album peaked at number 50 in Australia.<ref name=aus>{{cite book|last=Kent|first=David|author-link=David Kent (historian)|title=Australian Chart Book 1970–1992|edition=illustrated|publisher=Australian Chart Book|location=St Ives, N.S.W.|year=1993|isbn=0-646-11917-6|page=48}}</ref>
