Eddy Mitchell ,

(born Claude Moine July 3, 1942, Paris) is a French singer and actor. He began his career in the late 1950s, with the group Les Chaussettes Noires (The Black Socks), taking his name from the American expatriate tough-guy actor Eddie Constantine (later the star of Jean-Luc Godard’s Alphaville). The band performed at the Parisian nightclub Le Golf Drouot before signing to Barclay Records and finding almost instant success; in 1961 it sold two million records.

Heavily influenced by American rock & roll, Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Big Jim Sullivan, Jimmy Page and drummer Bobby Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London. For his American recordings he employed session men such as Roger Hawkins, David Hood, Jimmy Johnson, Kenneth Buttrey, Reggie Young, David Briggs, Charlie McCoy and others. ….Read More

David Hallyday ,

Fils de Johnny Hallyday et de Sylvie Vartan, il était écrit qu’un jour David Hallyday devrait répondre à cet héritage familial. Révélé par le single “High” en 1989, l’artiste a véritablement explosé dix années plus tard avec “Tu ne m’as pas laissé le temps”. Dans la foulée du disque “Sang pour sang” réalisé pour son père, il s’est montré prolifique avec “Révélation”, “Satellite” puis l’éponyme “David Hallyday” en 2007. Pris dans la tempête médiatique lors de l’hospitalisation de Johnny Hallyday fin 2009 et des soucis de santé de sa demi-soeur Laura Smet, dont il assure un duo, “On se fait peur”, sur ce nouveau disque, le chanteur entend défendre ce projet, désormais concentré à 100% sur son métier d’artiste.

Hasard ou coïncidence ? C’est avec “Le coeur qui boite”, un morceau marqué par les déboires sentimentaux, que David Hallyday ouvre ce disque, qui arrive après quelques évènements agités de sa vie privée. Mais la musicalité et l’audace reprennent vite leurs droits au travers du très new wave “Welcome To Nowhere”, atypique dans la discographie du chanteur. Les surprises ne s’arrêtent pas en chemin puisque l’artiste semble avoir été inspiré par des groupes comme Coldplay tant “J’ai vu des rivières”, “Dans nos mains” ou encore “Ma dernière séance”, rappellent le travail de la bande de Chris Martin avec notamment des envolées au piano. David Hallyday a sensiblement bien réussi son entrée dans “Un Nouveau Monde”, son “Nouveau Monde”…

Françoise Madeleine Hardy ,

(born 17 January 1944) is a French singer, actress and astrologer. Hardy is an iconic figure in fashion, music and style.
She grew up in the 9th arrondissement of Paris, the daughter of an unmarried mother. She received a guitar on her sixteenth birthday as a reward for passing her baccalaureat. After a year at the Sorbonne she answered a newspaper advertisement looking for young singers. Hardy signed her first contract with the record label Vogue in November 1961. In April 1962, shortly after finishing school, her first record “Oh Oh Chéri” appeared, written by Johnny Hallyday’s writing duo. Her own flip side of the record, “Tous les garçons et les filles” became a success, riding the wave of Yé-yé music in France. It sold over one million copies, and was awarded a gold disc. She first appeared on television in 1962 during an interlude in a programme reporting the results of a presidential referendum. ….Read More

is a popular French pop band from French Guyana and the French West Indies, who started singing in the 1980s.

Many of their records have been produced by Daniel Vangarde. Their single “Ça fait rire les oiseaux” is played on New Year’s eve in Quebec francophone celebrations. ….Read More

Jean Ferrat ,

(born Jean Tenenbaum, 26 December 1930 – 13 March 2010) was a French singer-songwriter and poet.
Ferrat was born in Vaucresson, Hauts-de-Seine. He was the youngest of four children from a modest Jewish family which moved to Versailles in 1935, Ferrat studied at the Jules Ferry College. His Russian father was deported to Auschwitz during the war, where he died. Ferrat dropped out of school to help the family survive.

In the early 1950s he started in Parisian cabaret. After that he has avoided any particular musical style, but remained faithful to himself, his friends and his public.

In 1956, he set “Les yeux d’Elsa” (“Elsa’s eyes”), a Louis Aragon poem which Ferrat loved, to music. Its rendition by popular artist André Claveau brought Ferrat some initial recognition as a songwriter.

His first 45 RPM single was released in 1958, without success. It was not until 1959, with publisher Gérard Meys, who also became his close friend and associate, that his career started to flourish. He signed with Decca and released his second single, “Ma Môme”, in 1960 under the musical direction of Meys.

In 1961 Ferrat married Christine Sèvres, a singer who performed some of his songs. He also met Alain Goraguer, who became an arranger of his songs. His debut album, Deux Enfants du Soleil, was released that year. Ferrat also wrote songs for Zizi Jeanmaire and went on the road, sharing billing with her at the Alhambra for six months.

Nuit et Brouillard, which followed in 1963, was awarded the Académie Charles Cros’s Grand Prix du Disque. Ferrat toured again in 1965, but stopped performing on stage in 1973.

In 1990, he received an award from the Société des auteurs, compositeurs et éditeurs de musique, (SACEM) the French association of songwriters, composers and music publishers.

In 2010, Ferrat died of a long illness at the age of 79. ….Read More

Alizée Jacotey ,

(born 21 August 1984) is a French singer. Born in Ajaccio, Corsica, she goes by the stage name Alizée—the feminine form of alizé, the trade wind. She was discovered by Mylène Farmer, following her winning performance in the talent show, Graines de Star, in 1999. While collaborating with Mylène Farmer and Laurent Boutonnat, Alizée released two albums—both of which were hits inside and outside of France.

Alizée entered the music business in 2000. She has since released three studio albums – first two of which were composed by Laurent Boutonnat and written by Mylène Farmer. Her first album was Gourmandises, which received Platinum certification within three months of release. Gourmandises was a success both in France and abroad—after it had its international launch in 2001—earning Alizée the distinction of being the highest selling female French singer in 2001. The album featured her most successful single “Moi… Lolita” which reached number one in several countries in Europe and East Asia. Gourmandises was followed by a second studio album, Mes Courants Électriques in 2003, which was also quite successful, though not as big a hit as Alizée’s debut album. Following its release, Alizée toured France during the fall of 2003, performing in 43 concerts throughout France, along with Belgium and Switzerland.

Alizée married fellow French singer Jérémy Chatelain in late 2003. Following her marriage, she took a hiatus from singing before returning with a new album, titled Psychédélices on December 3, 2007.

Une Enfant Du Siècle is Alizée’s fourth studio album, slated for release in March 2010. ….Read More

M&J ,

is the debut album of popular French singer and model Vanessa Paradis. It was released in 1988 and featured the hit single “Joe le Taxi”.
The album’s lead single was the enormously popular song “Joe le Taxi”, which made Paradis an overnight sensation. The song became a major hit not only in France, where it charted at number 1, but also in the UK, Sweden, Norway and other countries.

The album’s more acclaimed single, however, was the affecting tribute to Marilyn Monroe entitled “Marilyn & John”. The song, including its English language version, was considered far superior to “Joe le Taxi”, and Vanessa performed this song at virtually every awards ceremony during the 1987-1989 season. An obscure Spanish version of the track also appeared and charted. ….Read More

Patricia Kaas ,

(born December 5, 1966 in Forbach, France) is a French singer and actress.

Kaas is one of the most successful French-speaking singers in the world. Stylistically her music is not classical chanson, but is closer to a mixture of pop music, jazz and chanson.

Since the appearance of her debut album Mademoiselle chante… in 1988 Kaas has sold over 16 million records worldwide. She had her greatest success in, e. g., Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Russia, Finland, and Korea with her third album Je te dis vous. Kaas is almost constantly on tour internationally. In 2002 Kaas had her film debut in And now… Ladies and Gentlemen beside Jeremy Irons. Kaas is currently on “Kabaret” world tour since the end of 2008. Kaas represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia and finished in 8th place.

1995–1996: Black Coffee

In the middle of the 1990s the album Black Coffee was produced, an enigma in Kaas’ career. In 1995 it was decided to produce a work specially for the American market containing exclusively English lyrics. Rumours state that the album was never officially sold. It occasionally becomes available in online auctions, however, but the authenticity of these records is in doubt.

The title track of the album is a cover version of the Billie Holiday song of the same name and was likewise published by Kaas on the 1997 sampler Jazz à Saint-Germain (release by Virgin). Other cover versions on the album include classics such as the Bill Withers number Ain’t No Sunshine (which was taken for advertissement music for the Club Mediterranée) from 1971 and If You Leave Me Now by Chicago from 1976. ….Read More
