    Gallant's greatest pop success came when she teamed up with producer and manager Ian Robertson for the 1976 album Are You Ready For Love, which featured the disco hit single "From New York to L.A.". The latter takes its melody from Gilles Vigneault's song "Mon Pays" and the English lyrics were written by Gene Williams­. Gallant later recorded Mon Pays with its original lyrics by Vigneault.
    From New York to L.A. was Gallant's only recording to attract notice outside Canada; it became a hit in many other countries such as the UK (#6), Ireland (#5), Australia (#10), the Netherlands (#15), Norway (#7), South Africa (#5) and Sweden (#17).[7] Sugar Daddy and the album's title song Are You Ready for Love are also Top 20 Canadian hits that helped Gallant to win Juno Awards for Best Female Vocalist in 1976 and 1977. Although overlooked by radio in the U.S., From New York to L.A. and Sugar Daddy were played in American discos. Gallant followed up in 1977 with her French album Besoin d'amour, which includes a French rendition of Sugar Daddy. On the strength of her disco success, Gallant hosted her own variety show, The Patsy Gallant Show, which was produced and broadcast on CTV in 1978 and 1979.
    Gallant released the English album Will You Give Me Your Love and the French album Patsy Gallant et Star, both in 1978 on Attic Records,[8] and has a hit with Stay a While With Me (Aime-moi in French); she also released the English album Patsy! which contains the disco hit O Michel. Gallant then released a bilingual greatest hits package in early 1979, which included a rendition of the original Mon Pays. The English greatest hits album was reissued in 1995 on Attic Records with new remix of From New York to L.A. as well as another compilation, Tout va Trop Vite 1965-2005 in 2005.

    As a teenager in '76 growing up in Toronto, i remember this song. I also remember Patsy had a variety show back in the day.

    I've loved this song since it charted here in Australia in 1977. It's 2023 and it just got played on the radio and it still sounds good.

    As a kid (50 years ago) I spent hours trying to learn / write down the lyrics to this song. Thinking about it now my parents probably thought I was crazy lifting up the needle off the record and putting it back down.

    I lived around the Toronto area. I remember hearing this song on the radio in August 1976. It was a big song in Canada, but it was never a Billboard Top 40 hit. Regardless, I truly love it ❤ 🎵🎵

    Performers from the past didn't always get the recognition or celebrity they deserved.
    Patsy Gallant was a wonderful performer who ventured into a cloud of obscurity.
    I hate when that happens. She had such a clear voice, probably too modern for her time.

    • @JEGonc1
      @JEGonc1 Před rokem +5

      Patsy's life changed into a theatre performer...she spent a decade in Paris doing shows like Starmania, the big Quebecois rock opera. She still sings today...and releasing music. She's a dynamo.

    • @jutjubow

    I know it was the mid-Seventies and music videos weren't in vogue then like they are now, but this deserves a better video. Some shots of New York and L.A. mixed in with the dancing would've given it more punch.

    I remember back in the 1970's when Jimmy Savile introduced Patsy Gallant to sing this recording. She came in a red dress even hotter than this one & Jimmy did his approving yodel. Now I realise that It wasn't Miss Gallant he was yodelling for because she was way too old for him, so he must have clocked some 11 year old girl in the audience!.

  • @HalifaxHercules
    @HalifaxHercules Před 2 lety +1

    The music reminds me of Gilles Vigneault's "Mon Pays" (Quebecois French for "My Country") as its similar to Patsy Gallant's "From New York to LA".
    Since Gilles Vigneault co-wrote "From New York to LA" using music from Mon Pays, there's no case of plagiarism there.
