Chatelaine (born Joyce Pruneau, September 1953, in Shawinigan, Quebec)[1] is a French Canadian singer.

Her first single "Corps à Corps" was released in 1977, on Amour Records. It was a French disco version of "A Far L'amore Comincia Tu", originally performed by Raffaella Carra.

Her first full length album "Châtelaine" was released in 1978 on Amour Records. It featured the singles "Jack and Jill", "I wouldn't give you up" and "Je vis ma vie" (a duet with Goldie Alexander).

In 1980, she released her second (and last) full length record, "Chatelaine", produced by famous disco producer Patrick Adams.[2] It featured the singles "Classic" and "Take Me", as well as an electro-disco cover of Sly and the Family Stone's "Stand".

A CD collection of her work, called "Corps à corps", was released by Disques Mérite in 2001.
