France Gall is a French singer. She was born in Paris on October 7, 1947, as Isabelle Gall.

In 1965 she represented Luxembourg in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", and took first place. In 1988 she topped the pop charts in many countries with "Ella, elle l'a".

She became popular in France during the 1960s, singing songs such as "Les Sucettes" by Serge Gainsbourg and her success crossed over to the UK. She was considered to be France's equivalent to Lesley Gore in the United States of America and Twinkle in the UK.
