Biography

The Gibson Brothers, a French disco and soul music group, were formed in 1976. The trio consisted of Christian, Patrick, and Alexandre Francfort, all born on the island of Martinique. They began their musical journey in Paris during the 1950s and later joined the group Phalansters with Jean-Jacques Goldman, performing at various venues across France. In 1976, they formed the group Martinique Express, which was later renamed Gibson Brothers by producer Daniel Vangarde. Their first single under the new name, "Come to America", reached number 12 in Belgium and Italy. The Gibson Brothers achieved significant success with their subsequent releases, releasing "Non-Stop Dance", in 1977 which topped the charts in the Netherlands and Belgium (Flandre). Their 1978 single "Cuba" became a major hit, reaching number 9 on the American disco chart by Billboard and topping the Finnish charts. Other notable hits include "Ooh, What a Life" (1979), "Qué será mi vida" (1980), and "My Heart's Beating Wild (Tic Tac Tic Tac) (1982)". The group also collaborated with other artists, notably arranging the song "T'as le look, coco" for Laroche Valmont in 1984. In 1987, they were named Group of the Year in England following the release of the album Emily.
