Montreal's Toulouse were made up of studio backing vocalists who decided to team up as a group in 1975. They were the first bilingual disco act to break in the big time and comfortably sang in English and French. With the cross-over potential of their self-titled debut in 1976, the act re-released the LP in 1977 with all the vocals re-recorded in English for the American market. This move proved successful as the act had substantial hits with in the US. As the disco fad peaked and waned, Toulouse split up in the early '80's.
