Background
Boule de Son formed in Montreal circa 1975 when teenage vocalist Sylvie Granger launched a songwriting partnership with pianist-vocalist Daniel Lepage. They assembled a five-piece backing group with bassist Pierre Moisan, drummer Denis Toupin, flutist Jean-Luc Éthier, guitarist Jean-Jacques Bourdeau, and backing vocalist Isabelle Guzzo.
Toupin joined Boule de Son as a sixteen-year-old drummer. Bourdeau started electric guitar at age fifteen and played with Jean-Claude Béliveau in the high-school group Babylone. At the time of Boule de Son, he also belonged to Pour Nous Autres.
Boule de Son rehearsed in a Montreal church. The group completed their self-financed album for a private pressing on the Miscal Boule de Son imprint.
