Gallant's greatest pop success came when she teamed up with producer and manager Ian Robertson for the 1976 album Are You Ready For Love, which featured the disco hit single "From New York to L.A.". The latter takes its melody from Gilles Vigneault's song "Mon Pays" and the English lyrics were written by Gene Williams­. Gallant later recorded Mon Pays with its original lyrics by Vigneault.
From New York to L.A. was Gallant's only recording to attract notice outside Canada; it became a hit in many other countries such as the UK (#6), Ireland (#5), Australia (#10), the Netherlands (#15), Norway (#7), South Africa (#5) and Sweden (#17).[7] Sugar Daddy and the album's title song Are You Ready for Love are also Top 20 Canadian hits that helped Gallant to win Juno Awards for Best Female Vocalist in 1976 and 1977. Although overlooked by radio in the U.S., From New York to L.A. and Sugar Daddy were played in American discos. Gallant followed up in 1977 with her French album Besoin d'amour, which includes a French rendition of Sugar Daddy. On the strength of her disco success, Gallant hosted her own variety show, The Patsy Gallant Show, which was produced and broadcast on CTV in 1978 and 1979.
Gallant released the English album Will You Give Me Your Love and the French album Patsy Gallant et Star, both in 1978 on Attic Records,[8] and has a hit with Stay a While With Me (Aime-moi in French); she also released the English album Patsy! which contains the disco hit O Michel. Gallant then released a bilingual greatest hits package in early 1979, which included a rendition of the original Mon Pays. The English greatest hits album was reissued in 1995 on Attic Records with new remix of From New York to L.A. as well as another compilation, Tout va Trop Vite 1965-2005 in 2005.
