hey music geeks, can someone tell me more about RONNY (early 80's new romantic chanteuse)

can't find anything about here aprat from some youtube clips

I've got no idea, but that song is ridiculous and great. Love the last few moments, total pouty nonchalance.

This is my favourite Ronny song. I used to think there was a Sparks connection, but it doesn't seem to be true.

What year is the last one? Sounds like a lost song by 'Nightclubbing' era Grace Jones

Yes it does and it was indeed released the same year, 1981.

actually might as well post the last remaining video on youtube

that one has a more pronounced goth/electroclash feel

I used to think there was a Sparks connection

That was my first thought as well. I think the confusion, for me, is with a female artist called Noel, who WAS produced by Sparks (in 1979).

Hey, I like this stuff. Never heard of this lady before. I love the way the melody is for the chorus of the Blue Cabaret, there's something sounds really old about it, like centuries old. I think I prefer the funkiness of the second video, though.

From discogs:

Ronny used to be a Top French Model. Ronny was brought up in the grim Northern industrial area of France and left home at 14 to go to Paris, there lying about her age and doing terrible jobs. Took dancin classes and jobs then stopped everything and started to write songs. Club entrepreneur Rusty Egan met Ronny in the Paris club Privelege and co-produced with Midge Ure her best release, Vangelis, Georg Kajanus and Peter Godwin also produced for her. Ronny, a masculine name, is the blitz girl who loved to dress up as a boy and also appear on the Ultravox 'Station' record sleeve.

It also says she sang lead vocals on a song called "This Strange Obsession" that appeared on Yukihiro Takahashi's album "What Me, Worry?"

I'm still convinced Noel is just Russell in drag. Listen to Dancing Is Dangerous and slow it down to -8.

I'll have to check this out. That's my favorite Takahashi album...I kind of wondered who sang on that song. I thought it was the singer of Icehouse, who I thought worked on that song. I guess I'm wrong, though.
