That's not much to go on, so I'll just name every singer/group I can think of who had some sort of hit with a woman singing in French or Joual:
70s
Sylvie Vartan
Regine
Sheila (and B. Devotion)
Saint Tropez

80s
Visage
Gino Soccio
Mitsou
Celine Dion

There is also Patsy Gallant who sang in French as well as English.

I have two possibilities:

Michele Bellhomme singing, "Casse Toi". Released in 1988, entirely in French.

or

Claudia Phillips, "Cache Ta Joie". This is 1989, on Casablanca/Barclay (German, not USA).

Maybe, (Baccara) - "Yes Sir I Can Boogie" or Any Song From a Group called "Poussez"

Vanessa Paradis - "Joe le taxi"
France Gall - "Ella, elle l'a"
both from around 1987

hey tanks for the tries but unfotunely after serach a lot of songs from the artists u post the song do not shows, i guess, is to dificult but i remember that the song was mixed whit songs like new york from armant, and has strings and the beat was aboth 128,and the voice was very melodic not funky style like , besides was like the songs of alec r costandinos , with a meedley like in romeo and juliet. and i guess the years where from 1977 to 1982 .

well i preciate youre help and hope u forgive my english ( hope i dont confuse u more ):S

[NickNack]

Well, since you're not having much luck I'll mention these two. They're both by Madleen Kane: "Cherchez Pas", 1980 lp 'SOUNDS OF LOVE' and "Cheri", the title of her 1979 album.

The titles are probably the only French in the songs but "Cheri" is part of a medley:
1) FORBIDDEN LOVE/FIRE IN YOUR HEART
2) CHERI
3) SECRET LOVE AFFAIR

If I had to choose, I'd go with this as the medley does contain a taste of the 'drama' of an Alec Costandinos song.

Good luck on your hunt.

[pacoG]

well tanks for the help but looks like the hunt gona be more dificult i have heard and download more than 100 songs but by now no one is, but i have found some great songs and re discober others, well hope somebody post another option but i remember u that the lyrics are in french and im not shure if are parts in english
thanks

I would like to add my 2 bits to this thread. You mentioned that there might be some segments in English, right? Could you be looking for "Hold Me, Touch Me" by Carolyn Bernier?
Thought it might help some!

"Fais moi danser" by Jane Manson pretty much fits your description as it's sung partly in french partly in english. This well produced, rich sounding c 126 bpm track was medium popular in French radio in 1978. It begins like a dramatic slowie, goes on a bit like that and then gets into gear and becomes a kicking disco stormer. Jane needs someone to dance with before she drowns herself in whisky. There's a big orchestra and a girl chorus too, hurrying you to pick her up. Could be the girl you're after.
