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 in Tokyo at the Yamaha festival, Catherine Ferry recorded several singles and an album at Barclay, one of the greatest French record companies of this time and under the honourable artistic production of Léo Missir,
