Press Reviews Each year and since its creation, the Eurovision Song Contest has made borned dreams and fabulous hopes to singers and groups from very varied backgrounds who can already see themselves. .. at the top. In 1976, the dream became reality for Catherine Ferry. Young beginning singer she represented France with the song "1,2,3" . France, as many countries'juries, is seduced by this young beautiful golden hair singer who, with her so sweet smile and mischievous eyes, ranked well high...second in the contest. The song "1,2,3" interpreted by Catherine has been composed by Tony Rallo and written by Jean Paul Cara (who renewed one more time the "Eurovision" exploit , with Marie Myriam another French singer ranked 1st). Among the backing vocals of Catherine, on this stage opened to millions of viewers, a young and frail singer, Daniel Balavoine. He composed lyrics and music of the B side single "Petit Jean". At this time chorister and artist ready "to become somebody" , Daniel Balavoine, with a unique high voice and an inimitable talent, has left us melodies living again today in spite of he passed away prematurely. It is. .. an other history. Daniel found in Catherine's voice, so much force and tenderness like in his own voice ..a sparkle, a softness, a purity, a shiver making vibrating our bodies on rock music and our hearts on ballads of sweet travels colored with humanity...colored with Love with a big L. After the contests, radios, TVs, shows in France, in Europe and at the Yamaha festival in Japan, Catherine Ferry recorded several singles and album at Barclay, one of the greatest French record companies of this time and under the honourable and kind artistic production of Léo Missir, who shared his artistic talent too with Nougaro, Lavilliers, Delpech and Nicoletta. In 1980, her last single at Barclay, "Tu es mon ennemi" "You are my enemy" and "Maman vit avec les animaux" "Mummy lives with animals", a reggae. .. yes! is recorded under the musical direction of the group "Clin d'Oeil" , musicians who believed in her and whose members were Bernard Serré, Colin Swinburne, Hervé Limeretz, Roger Secco and Daniel Balavoine again. Sir Barclay, despite the efforts of Léo Missir who tried to give time and an album to Catherine, didn't renew the contract. The time of 'flash in the pan' singers was on the way. .. and it is in 1982 that Daniel introduced Catherine to Bernard de Bosson, CEO of WEA / France, pianist for his friends at his spare time and madly music lover. At WEA the song "Bonjour, Bonjour" "Hello, Hello" was released.In Catherine's life, as maybe in yours, the proverb: " Birds of a feather stick together'is a first reality. Daniel wrote the music and introduced Catherine to Linda Lecomte who wrote the lyrics, she had never known that she was able to write lyrics. The magic of a song it is when all becomes inseparable and when Catherine sang "Bonjour, Bonjour" "Hello, Hello, the one who stole my love comes to say to me hello " it became the story of many people and .. a success. Catherine has the chance to sing, in 1983, in the musical fairy tale "Abracadabra "based on Abba's songs. She interpreted " Alice in Wonderland" beside Daniel and the talented and beautiful brown woman of the group Abba, Frida. After this experience, Catherine went back to the studio to record the song" Grandis pas" "Don't grow up' "and the album, " Catherine Ferry " on which we can find "Vivre avec la Musique" "To live with the Music". .. an other success.For the producing of this L.P, the already famous Andy Scott devoted all his ears, magical fingers, 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. And ...life quietly took its course and didn't spare nobody. In 1986, life didn't permit to Daniel to finish the lyrics of a song he wrote for Frida whose Catherine had to make a French version and it is Jean-Jacques Goldman who took up the torch to give birth to 'Quelqu'un quelque part'" Somebody Somewhere ". The voice of Catherine Ferry erased then from the radios' waves , she decided to start the most beautiful career: to be a mother! The bet succeeded, and Lucie the daughter in the first flower of womanhood of Catherine tells that 'her mother has to sing also for the pleasure of the other people'. And here we are, in 2001 and faithful to" Birds of a feather stick together "and to" What makes us happy make happy the others ", Catherine Ferry sings new songs. Nicolas Peyrac, Linda Lecomte, Arnold T pour out on Fabrice Gratien's musics, a young musician composer whose talent blooms so that in each new song Catherine lays down her voice and a stone is added to the walls of our hearts. Linda Lecomte
