Now! (France Joli album)

Now! is the third album by singer, France Joli, released in 1982. This album saw her shift away from the disco based songs of her early recordings, to a funkier soul music base. This change provided her with her biggest international hit, "Gonna Get Over You". It also includes the moderate dance chart hit, "Your Good Lovin'".
