Deleted "This band was created to appeal to the gay section of the disco community." until a source can be found for such a contentious statement.Plumsforsale (talk) 07:45, 5 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

So who were the duo?[edit]

Ottawan was a pop music duo, who scored the hit singles "D.I.S.C.O." and "Hands Up (Give Me Your Heart)" in the early 1980s. Fronted by Caribbean-born Jean Patrick Baptiste and Annette, they were masterminded by French producers Daniel Vangarde and Jean Kluger.

Was the duo Baptiste and Annette, or was the duo Vangarde and Kluger? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 219.78.31.156 (talk) 07:50, 28 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Annette Eltice or Etilce?[edit]

Throughout the Internet and, in particular, language versions of Wikipedia (e.g. FR,, EN) there are spelling divergences as regards the surname of the female main act, Annette Eltice OR Etilce.

I have tried to find out, by way of an Internet research, which spelling is correct, with limited success. Here are my main considerations and findings:

Annette Eltice OR Etilce came to France, where she rose to success, from the French Caribbean, so French sources should be more reliable than others.
It looks like “Etilce” is a French surname borne by other people as well, and “Eltice” is not (https://www.filae.com/nom-de-famille/ETILCE.html).
Trying to establish the frequency of "Annette Etilce/Eltice"+"singer/chanteuse" hits via google by 3 November 2019:
- “Annette Etilce” "singer": 9 hits
- “Annette Eltice” "singer": 214 hits
- “Annette Etilce” "chanteuse": 107 hits
- “Annette Eltice” "chanteuse": 142 hits

This slightly favours the spelling “Etilce”, doesn’t it?

Who can really help?
