At the age of thirteen, she met musician Tony Green, who would later produce her debut album France Joli. The album, released in 1979, featured the hit single "Come to Me", which topped the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play chart for three weeks and peaked at number 15 on the Billboard Hot 100. France Joli's subsequent albums include Tonight (1980), Now (1982), and Attitude (1983) under Epic Records, which featured collaborations with notable producers like Pete Bellotte and Giorgio Moroder.
