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. It was the first time a non-ballad had won the contest, and was nominated as one the 14 finalists in the race to be named as the most popular Eurovision song of all time at a special 50th anniversary contest in Copenhagen, Denmark, 2005. Today France Gall has disassociated herself with the contest, and refuses to discuss it in public, or perform her winning song. 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.
