France Joli

• A teenaged pop sensation from the Montreal suburb of Dorion, France Joli began singing at the age of four when she lip-synched to records and performed in front of relatives with a piece of skipping rope for a microphone. In 1974 at eleven years of age, France began singing on amateur talent shows and commercials. Her first hit in 1979 was the song Come To Me, written by Tony Green. That same year it reached number thirteen on Billboard's Hot 100. Managed by her mother Michelle Joli, France later performed on American television, where she appeared on The Bob Hope Special in 1979, The Merv Griffin Show, Dinah Shore, and Midnight Special. France also played two shows a night for a week at the Riviera Hotel in Las Vegas with Peaches And Herb and Tuxedo Junction. In 1982 she played with The Commodores at Radio City Music Hall.
• In French Canadian teen beauty France Joli's "Come To Me," there's a bit of small-world irony too: Even after disco dated the Philadelphia sound, producers continued to look for the Philly magic, and it's the Sweethearts of Sigma, Barbara Ingram, Carla Benson, and Evette Benton, who are singing backup. "Come To Me," in turn, with a vocal cameo by producer/writer Tony Green, represents the generational turning point between traditional Fire Island disco and the more progressive "dance music" of the '80s
