The track "Come to Me" received a boost when Joli performed it as a last-minute replacement for Donna Summer at the "BEACH '79" party held on Fire Island on July 7, 1979, before an estimated audience of five thousand.
She had another club hit with The Heart To Break a Heart ,Another dance club smash with the track "Gonna Get Over You", which went to number two for two weeks on the American dance charts.However Joli, as evidenced by her opening for the Commodores during their American tour of 1981, was still viewed as having star potential: she departed the dance music-oriented Prelude label for mainstream music giant Epic. The tracks Joli cut with Green were picked up by Prelude and released on April 17, 1979, as the album France Joli. I remixed the great club Classic with some added bass and enhanced vibe for a NuSound.When producer Tony Green originally commissioned to record Joli indicated a desire to develop Joli as a Francophone singer, Green himself took over production duties for Joli.
