French singer
Musical artist
Catherine Ferry
(born 1 July 1953) is a French singer.
In 1976, at the
Eurovision Song Contest
, Catherine Ferry represented France with the song "
Un, deux, trois
" (Tony Rallo/
Jean Paul Cara
). She ranked second in the contest. Among the backing vocalists was
Daniel Balavoine
, who wrote the B side "Petit Jean". She worked and was produced mainly by
Daniel Balavoine
a famous French singer who wrote nearly 30 songs for her.
In 1977, she took part in the
Yamaha
Festival in Japan. In 1982, she released at WEA the song "Bonjour, Bonjour" (Linda Lecomte/Balavoine). In 1983, she participated in the musical fairy tale "Abbacadabra" by
Alain Boublil
based on
ABBA
's songs. In 1984, the album "Vivre avec la musique" was released, produced by Andy Scott, with music by Daniel Balavoine, Joe Hammer and Michel Rorive, lyrics of Daniel Balavoine, Linda Lecomte, Patrick Dulphy, Bernard Balavoine and Francis Wauthers.
Balavoine died in 1986, having failed to finish the French lyrics of a song originally written for Frida of Abba.
Jean-Jacques Goldman
wrote the lyrics of "Quelqu'un Quelque part". Ferry then took time off to have a family.
In the spring of 2010, things came full circle, with Catherine Ferry returning to Geneva in order to record her new single "Petit Jean" with John Woolloff, the guitar player of the late Daniel Balavoine. As her songs became "cult" favourites, one of them, "1, 2, 3", was selected to appear in the movie "
Potiche
", by French director
Francois Ozon
, starring
Catherine Deneuve
and
Gerard Depardieu
.
