Rich Man's Woman is the debut album by English rock, blues and jazz singer Elkie Brooks, released in 1975 by A&M Records.
Background Publicity for the album included a promotional week at Ronnie Scott's Jazz Club in London. The picture sleeve featuring a semi-naked Brooks was controversial.
Despite an initial marketing campaign, Rich Man's Woman failed to enter the UK Albums Chart and both A&M and Brooks decided to stop promoting the work to focus on her follow-up album, Two Days Away (1977).
The album has been released on CD, coupled with Two Days Away.
Single releases "Where Do We Go from Here" (1975) "He's a Rebel" (1975)
