1st Step to Heaven is a 1986 album by Deutsch Amerikanische Freundschaft, released on Dean Records via Ariola in Europe.
It is their only album in English rather than German. Singer Gabi Delgado-López later noted: "So we wanted to break our own rules and said: OK, so now we sing in English, now we don’t wear black. (laughing) With purpose. Because we wanted to break our own rules."
The album charted for one week on the Swedish album charts at no. 46. The first single from the album, "Voulez-vous Coucher Avec Moi Ce Soir" (an original, though the title is a quote from the lyrics of "Lady Marmalade"), reached No. 47 on the German singles chart (charting for 7 weeks) and no. 17 on the Belgian singles chart (charting for 5 weeks). Another single, "Brothers", reached no. 23 on the Belgian singles chart (charting for 4 weeks).
The band reunited to make the album, but split again soon after its release.
A variant track listing was released in the US as Hitz Blitz in 1989.
