Nathalie Gabay (born 1965) is a Belgian artist whose career spans multiple disciplines, including music, film, fashion, and photography. She is best known for her 1980s dance hit "My Love Won’t Let You Down," which solidified her place in the European cultural landscape.
Gabay's career began in the early 1980s, during a time when the synth-pop and dance music movements were reshaping European popular culture. As a teenager, she was captivated by the dynamic music scene sweeping through Europe. In 1982, she entered the professional music world by collaborating with Plastic Bertrand, a Belgian musician internationally recognized for his hit "Ça Plane Pour Moi." Bertrand, who remains the only Belgian artist to have achieved significant success in the United States with his track "L’Amour O.K.," was instrumental in launching Gabay's music career.
It was during this period that Gabay was discovered by Gordon Edwards, a producer based in Brussels known for identifying emerging talent. Edwards introduced Gabay to Peter Godwin, a prominent singer and composer in the synth-pop genre. The two met at a well-known Brussels nightclub frequented by artists and creatives from across Europe. Impressed by Gabay's vocal talent and stage presence, Godwin wrote "My Love Won’t Let You Down" specifically for her. The song, characterized by its catchy melody and upbeat tempo, quickly became a defining track of the 1980s dance scene.
"My Love Won’t Let You Down" was released with a French version, "Mon Cœur Qui Craque[1]," which helped the song gain popularity across Europe. At its peak, the song reached No. 3 on the European charts, trailing only behind international icons Michael Jackson and The Rolling Stones. This achievement established Gabay as one of Belgium's most promising musical talents.
Following the success of her breakthrough single, Gabay released several more tracks that showcased her versatility. Songs like "The Beat Goes On," "Heaven on Earth," and "Don’t Look"[2] demonstrated her ability to blend various musical styles while maintaining the energetic and danceable quality that characterized her work. These tracks contributed to Gabay's growing reputation as a dynamic performer and recording artist.
Gabay's artistic ambitions extended beyond music. In the mid-1980s, she moved to Paris, where she transitioned into acting. She made her film debut in the French drama Il y a Maldonne, which highlighted her acting abilities and introduced her to a wider audience.
Throughout her career, Nathalie Gabay has continued to explore new creative avenues, making significant contributions to various artistic fields. Her work in music, film, fashion, and photography[3] has cemented her status as a multifaceted artist with a lasting impact on European pop culture.
