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'".
