In 1976, young beginning singer Catherine Ferry represented France with the song 1,2,3 composed by Tony Rallo and written by Jean Paul Cara. France, as many countries' juries, is seduced by this young beautiful golden hair singer who ranked well high...second in the contest.
Among the backing vocals of Catherine, the band Melodie SA, Guy Balavoine, Patrice Schreider, Bernard Serré and a young singer, Daniel Balavoine. He composed the B side single Petit Jean. He found in Catherine's voice a vocal alter ego.
After the contests, radios, TVs, shows in France, in Europe, in Japan and at the Yamaha festival in Tokyo, Catherine Ferry recorded several singles and an album at Barclay, one of the greatest French record companies of this time and under the honourable and kind artistic production of Léo Missir .
In 1981 that Daniel introduced Catherine to Bernard
de Bosson, CEO of WEA / France.
In 1982, according to the proverb: "Birds of a feather
stick together" the song Bonjour, Bonjour was released
at WEA with the lyrics written by Linda Lecomte.
The
magic of a song it is when all becomes inseparable and when Catherine
sang Bonjour, Bonjour, it became the story of many
people and... a success.
Catherine has the chance to sing, in 1983, in the musical fairy tale Abbacadabra written by Alain Boublil based on Abba's songs. At the same time, Catherine recorded the song Grandis pas.
In 1984, the album Catherine Ferry was released at WEA on which we can find Vivre avec la Musique... an other success.
For the producing of this L.P, the already famous Andy Scott devoted all his ears and his art to Catherine's voice and gave life
using her voice to Daniel, Joe Hammer, Michel Rorive 's musics, and to Linda Lecomte, Francis Wauthers and Daniel's lyrics.
In 1986, life didn't permit to Daniel to finish the french lyrics of a song he wrote for Frida of Abba The Face whose he wanted Catherine to make a French version and it is Jean-Jacques Goldman who took up the torch to give birth to Quelqu'un quelque part.
In 1988, Dany Darras (ex-member of the band Presence and producer of the F.R David's song Words) composed with Robert Fitoussi Rendez-vous and Manille with Basile Leroux, one of the greatest french guitar players. Joëlle Kopf (Femme Libérée of Cookie Dingler and Adam and Yves of Zazie) wrote the lyrics.
Catherine
went on several tours in France but her voice erased then from the
radios' waves, she decided to start the most beautiful career: to
be a mother!
And here we are, in 2008 and faithful to "Birds of a feather stick together" and to "What makes us happy make happy the others", Catherine Ferry sings new songs J'attends (N.Peyrac and F.Gratien).
Nicolas Peyrac out on Fabrice Gratien's musics, devote all their talent to Catherine, so that in each new song she can offer to us her voice. She sings!.
