28th April 1947, Washington D.C, U.S.A., d. Saturday 13th August 2005, Hyattsville, Prince George's County, Maryland, U.S.A.)

Francine earned the nickname 'Peaches' as a child, mainly due to her gentle disposition.

The original Peaches and Herb members formed in 1965.

'Peaches' sang in several groups in her teenage years, including the Keynotes and the Darlettes (a group she instigated herself).

The group were later to become known as the Sweet Things.

Teaming up with Van McCoy, Francine along with her new singing partner, one Herb Feemster (later to be known as Herb Fame), began recording such songs as 'We're In This Together' and 'Let's Fall In Love'.

The duo's emerging popularity earned them the nickname of 'the Sweethearts Of Soul'.

Following several other notable sides, Herb left the duo to become a policeman in 1970
