With all that behind her, Patsy came to T0- ronto about a month ago and played a week’s . stand at the popular Friar’s Tavern. Her group is comprised of seven members, including two female back-up singers. Maybe you caught the ‘ act when it was in town? If not, you’ll probably get another chance. The future looks good for Miss Gallant, judging from her past as well as present achievements. Anyone who can estab- lish themselves in both the French and English ' Miss Gallant started her music career at the age of five, when she joined her three older sisters 'and toured the Maritimes as one of the Gallant Sisters. She stayed on with the quartet for fif- teen years. In 1967 she decided to go solo and released a single which got her television jobs on French music programs like “Music Hop", “Dis- coteque” and “Smash”. a-lmmummuummmmummuuumumuummmmnmmmuImuuummummumnmluunumnummnmmumummunmmumlmuuuuuuuluuuumummnmmmmmum1' lul111\ut\i.lmmummuuuuu\uuuununu«mumummmummnunu1\uumnummuuuuumuuuumuuumluunmmuuumm4: Patsy started into the field of commercial jingles. It was then that she met songwriter Yves Lap- ierre, and shortly after, manager Ian MacDonald. Having become quite a figure in the Quebec mar- ket, Patsy moved on to break into the English music scene. Her single “Get That Ball" did the trick, followed by her album “Upon My Own”. The record is all-Canadian in content, produced by Yves Lapierre at Andre Perry Studios. Her material was written by some of her close friends, including Yves. Canadian ma‘rket, has good potential for stardom. Of course, helps if you come from New Brunswick like Patsy and can speak fluent French and English to start with. ' I’d never known of any French singers before Patsy Gallant. And when I first heard of her, I didn’t even realize she was French. I should have been able to figure that out from the name, but I wasn’t quite on my toes that day. As it hap~ ‘pened, I was browsing through one of the record stores downtown when I came across a new re- lease album called “Upon My Own". I overheard the girl behind me saying this was Patsy Gal- lant's first English album. Being the curious soul that I am, I went home and dug up some informa- tion on Patsy â€"â€" just to see who she was. It helps even more, if you can break into the world-wide markets, as well as French and English Canada â€" something like the kind of thing that Quebec‘s superstar Robert Charlebois, better known as Super Frog, is doing. But don’t let me leap ahead of myself. Super Frog and his pond of success, will have to wait for next week week and another Jam Session. If I had to write this column in French every week, I’m afraid it wouldn‘t be very interesting. The truth of the matter is, that my French vocab- ulary is limited to something like “Bonjour” or “Au revoir". And as far as French songs go, the only one I’ve ever managed to master, is “Frére Jacques". She became quite a celebrity in Quebec, with her TV concerts and sellout appearances. In 1969 Well, it looks like all that is about to change. 'I may never speak French fluently, but I intend ,to do all I can to familiarize myself with the French-Canadian music scene. In fact, I’ve already made a start at doing just that . . . 34H Barnett Danson, MP York North. gave his full support to the project offering full federal assistance if the project was feasible.

Many of the area residents felt in lis'ht of Thornliill's historical background and also because of the extensive renovations done to many of Thornhill's older homes for the Centennial of 1967. that it would be a shame not to preserve the landmark as a historical sight.
