Patsy Gallant, née le 15 août 1948 à Campbellton au Nouveau-Brunswick, est une chanteuse populaire et une actrice canadienne d'origine acadienne.

Patsy Gallant enregistre son premier disque en 1967 et participe à de nombreux spectacles de variétés télévisés. Dans les mois qui suivent elle présente son tour de chant à la Place des Arts de Montréal avec en vedette, Charles Aznavour. En 1971, on l'invite à faire partie de l'émission hebdomadaire Smash de Radio-Canada en compagnie d'Olivier Guimond, de Denis Drouin et des vedettes chanteuses de l'heure, dont Christine Charbonneau, qui joue par la suite un rôle prépondérant dans la jeune carrière de la chanteuse. Dans les mois qui suivent, Charbonneau lui écrit la plupart des textes de ses deux premiers albums français d'importance, soit l'album homonyme «Patsy Gallant» en 1972 et «Toi l'enfant» en 1974. Ce dernier inclut son interprétation de la chanson originale de Charbonneau Les femmes qui devient un hit en France en 1976, chantée par Sheila. Les deux albums paraissent chez Columbia Records. On y trouve Tout va trop vite, Le lit qui craque, Un jour comme les autres, Thank You Come Again v.f. Ces chansons lancent la carrière de la vedette montante et lui assurent ses premiers succès en français au palmarès québécois. Elle fait une première percée en France en 1972 avec l'album Patsy Gallant qui paraît chez CBS. On en extrait plusieurs quarante-cinq tours dont deux, Pourquoi faut-il et Un jour comme les autres ainsi que Cendrillon et Tout va trop vite qui figureront dans la prestigieuse Série Gémini de CBS France. Parallèlement à ces succès, elle fait paraître en 1972 et 1973 ses deux premiers albums en anglais «Upon My Own» chez CBS et «Power» chez Columbia mais ceux-ci n'atteignent pas la popularité ni les ventes de ses deux albums en français.

En 1976, Gallant intensifie sa présence en anglais avec l'album "Are You Ready for Love" paraissant chez Attic. Son succès international «From New York to L.A.» prend sa mélodie de «Mon pays» de Gilles Vigneault. Ce disco très dansant fait connaître Gallant dans tout le Canada ainsi qu'à l'international, tel qu'au Royaume-Uni (#6), l'Irlande (#5), l'Australie (#10), les Pays-Bas (#15), la Norvège(#7), l'Afrique du Sud (#5) et la Suède (#17). En 1977 et 1978, grâce à cet album Are You Ready for Love, elle obtient aux Juno Awards le prix de la meilleure chanteuse de l'année, ce qui la consacre diva de la musique de danse et du disco. Également, Are You Ready for Love inclut la chanson «Sugar Daddy» qui est certifié disque d'or pour 75 000 exemplaires vendus au Canada.

Avec son immense succès auprès du Canada anglais, elle devient animatrice de télévision de sa propre émission The Patsy Gallant Show sur les ondes de CTV Television Network de 1978 à 1979. ...

Biography

Patricia Gallant (born August 15, 1948, in Campbellton, New Brunswick) is a Canadian pop singer and musical theatre actress. Of Acadian ancestry, she has recorded and performed in both English and French.

Patsy Gallant was one of the 10 children of Béatrice Aubé Gallant and Arthur Gallant. At age five, she was part of The Gallant Sisters with older siblings Angeline, Florine, and Ghislaine. At eight Gallant gained television exposure after her parents moved to Moncton; two years later the group was playing nightclubs in Montreal. She left the group for a solo career in 1967, was featured in commercials, and was a regular on both the French-language TV variety program Discothèque and its English equivalent, Music Hop.

Gallant released her first single in 1967, which earned her appearances on a number of television variety shows. That same year she performed at Montreal's Place des Arts, opening for Charles Aznavour. Through the late 1960s and 1970s Gallant worked with a host of young and talented creators including Yves Lapierre, Judi Richards, Christine Charbonneau, and Denis Forcier. In 1971, Gallant co-starred on the weekly television variety show Smash presented by Télévision de Radio-Canada (the French arm of CBC Television). During the show, Gallant teamed up with singer-songwriter Christine Charbonneau who wrote most of the lyrics for her two major French albums that were released by Columbia Records, Gallant songs, written by Charbonneau included, "Tout va trop vite", "Thank you come again" (French version), "Le lit qui craque", "Un monde en voie de naître", and "Un jour comme les autres". Patsy Gallant (Tout va trop vite) from 1972 was followed by Toi l'enfant in 1974. Several of the songs including "Tout va trop vite", "Un jour comme les autres", "Le lit qui craque", and "Thank You Come Again (French version)" climbed the Quebec charts. Also found on the latter album is the original song "Les femmes", a hit song which was covered in 1976 by Sheila in France.

Patsy Gallant, as a bilingual artist, used to release English and French versions of her albums simultaneously. She aimed for the Francophone market of Quebec and Europe as well as English Canada and the United States. In September 1972 she released Upon My Own, her first English album. Although her two French albums were hits in French Canada, the only song from this album to score a minor hit was "Get That Ball", a funky song written by Yves Lapierre and Ken Owen. Other notable songs from this album are "This Old Lady", "Saturday Weather", "People Going Down the Avenue" and "I've Gotta Make It" (Upon My Own).

Intensifying her efforts in the American market, Gallant recorded her 1974 album Power in Nashville, Tennessee, United States. Although the album spawned four moderately popular singles with "Save the Last Dance For Me", "Make My Living", "Doctor's Orders" and the title song "Power", they were not a commercial breakthrough. ...
