And I really don't care what second-rated stand-up comedians like NRGbeat or Zef think about it:

"Come To Me" (On The Midnight Special)

She was a bit slimmer back then wasn't she?:-?

She was so hot then, Very high in my wish list then ;)

Age is not very kind to most of us, me included. In Ms Joli's case her upper arms pointed towards the future.

Yes !!!, France Joli when she was young and beautiful and she was a hot Babe 8-) with all of us fighting to get up-close to get a glimpse of this young and beautiful Diva.

I saw her performing live many times down here in Miami where she must have performed dozens and dozens of times through the years in all kinds of clubs around the city.

She had a huge following and booking her instantly translate into a packed club, She used to travel with her mother, and well into the mid to late 80's she was still belting out "come to me" even when the Disco scene and music was much different by then (Freestyle, House) .

To me "Come to me" was what Disco Music was all about. A classic song.

[Say What?]

I saw her perform at The Saint in about 1983 and she was fantastic!

We were dancing under the stars, when the opening bars of 'Come To Me' started to be mixed in. A section of the dome opened and there she was. The crowd went wild!

One of the best nights I've ever had in a disco!

Were any of you guys there?

Absolutely! Although I discovered this track later than the period it was released. It didn't score that big in Belgium. "I'll get over you" was the massive hit here!

[discodevil]

I saw a clip on you tube of France Joli on the PBS special, and she was good with a great voice and still a pretty face and yes Fat, big deal.
Miss Franklin was trim once.
Its probably because they don't do coke like some other thin songbirds.:lol:

Here is the footage from PBS, She probably has some kind of illness of the glands that makes her obese like this, I've known people like this and apparently is almost next to impossible to cure:???: so be gentle with her:icon_neutral:

As we say in England she has eaten a few pies...Must agree she looked fab in 1979...Another fantasy of mine around that time was Amii Stewart...:D :D

[markydefad]

she still sings well doesn't she? OK. I won't make anymore fat jokes.

[Bernie]

Is it just me or does France Joli in this video remind anyone of Mariah Carey especially around the eyes and nose? To think she was only around 17 years old in this clip...

Johan: great finds you've been posting and I'm not really a big video fan, but you are unearthing some awesome clips. Thanks!!!

[Say What?]

Thanks from me too Johan. I'm loving your posts :razz:
