Patrick Francfort was a member of The Gibson Brothers until his death. The Gibson Brothers are a French musical group, originally from Martinique, who had their greatest success during the disco boom of the late 1970s. Their best known hit singles included “Cuba” and “Que Sera Mi Vida”. They recorded their first single “Come to America” in Paris in 1976, and both it and its follow-up “Non Stop Dance” made the charts in Europe, where they toured successfully. The following year they released “Heaven”, which was picked up by TK Records in the U.S. In 1978 they recorded “Cuba”. The mix of disco beats, Latin percussion, soulful vocals and a catchy tune propelled the song to No. 1 in several countries, and earned them four gold records worldwide.
