Carol Ann Holness, better known by her stage name Nancy Nova, is a singer and songwriter from London, who was largely active from 1978 to 1983.
[1] She initially found success as a songwriter for Jesse Green, writing the single "Flip".
She was a founder member of Toto Coelo, but left before they achieved popularity due to her signing a worldwide recording contract with EMI.
Though quiet for most of the 1980s and 1990s, in 2004 Nova released through her FX records label a compilation album of her 1980s songs on CD, entitled The Force.
[citation needed] She was noted in the Guinness Book of British Hit Singles & Albums for being in the charts the same week as her sister (4 September 1982).
