https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vcIXBJJeozM France Joli performed this at "Disaster". It brings back a lot of memories for the year 1979. It's one of Seth Rudetsky's video. (I would have posted the facebook link, but then, my Facebook friend list would have appeared.)
"Noel [Coward] and I were in Paris once. Adjoining rooms, of course. One night, I felt mischievous, so I knocked on Noel's door, and he asked, 'Who is it?' I lowered my voice and said 'Hotel detective. Have you got a gentleman in your room?' He answered, 'Just a minute, I'll ask him.'" (Beatrice Lillie)

She performed her famous hit in July 1979 at the Pines in Fire Island (only 16 at the time!). Here is a more recent video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F8DqyvGCHaA

Wow! So funny her name should come up here on BWW. I was listening to her Greatest Hits compilation on Saturday night and it brought back so many memories. I was 10 when "Come to Me" was released and that record was being played EVERYWHERE. I had no idea that she was only 16 when it was released. I always thought she was a stunner back in her heydey!
I'm partial to the 12 inch extended version of "Come to Me" - - - the production on that record is just top notch. Easily one of the best disco records ever produced.
Thanks for sharing those links Patti LuPone FANatic.
