YOUR REVIEWS & COMMENTS ON France Joli

Twenty-seven years later, the album sounds better than it used to.

In a virtuous world, Madonna could only wish she had the range and urgency of France's vocals. As for Tony Green's feverish take on Latin percussion...think Vince Montana on speed. The entire LP (even the much-maligned "Come To Me," which was Prelude's only release to make the top 20 on Billboard's pop chart) no longer sounds cheesy, just ferocious.

The mastering on the 12"-pack is superb (as it usually was on Prelude's releases), so have your best equipment ready.

I was in charge of the Florida Record pool, and got cases of the double 12" album. I played it, and pushed it. Made all the deejays listen, fall in love with it, and play it. It took over the DISCO scene in South Florida, to the extent, that this was the first market to "Break" FRANCE JOLI. Our reward? She came to Miami, and was "introduced" to everyone at a major reception at SCARAMOUCHE in Downtown Miami. It was my honor and privilege to get chosen to be FRANCE JOLI'S escort. It was a reward for personally pushing this record into the forefront. I danced with the talented teenager, and we talked as everyone heralded her as the next DISCO superstar. What we did not know, was that DISCO was on it's way out, so we had to settle for Miss Joli simply being the youngest and most talented DISCO STAR of the end of the movement. I will have that night! Always to cherish. As for the album that I practically shoved down every deejays throat, it became a DISCO CLASSIC and now gets a TEN!!

What a stunning debut - but then again I just might be Miss Joli's biggest fan.

Back in the days when 4 tracks constitued a full album !!! there is no filler to be found on this one.

She made this Montrealer proud...
