The three brothers Chris, Patrick and Alex Francfort were born in Martinique,
West Indies, and together they formed the band
Gibson Brothers. Their sound
was defined as being disco-salsa and after being guided by the music
producer Daniel Vangarde, they cut their first
single "Come to America"
in 1976 which was successful in Europe. Their next single was their first
million-seller in Europe. Although not popular in the US,
they met with much more success in the European scene. Although disco music essentially
collapsed in 1980, the brothers continued to tour and release discs.
