Claude François - to be remembered. Biographies, stories, facts, photos Some famous songs

On a summer evening in 1961, Claude and Janet got off the train that took them to Gare de Lyon in Paris. I managed to rent a small apartment on Rue Veron, in the Montmartre area. Janet, being a dancer with great experience, quickly found a job in her specialty, but Claude had a much more difficult time, and finally he managed to get a job in Olivier Desp's group "Les Gamblers". This temporary job helped to somehow earn a living, and in the meantime, Claude hoped to meet with some producer who would help him record the disc.

With the assistance of her sister's husband, arranger Jerry Van Ruyen, the producer was still found. Claude auditioned for the Fontana recording house, and Jean-Jacques Tilchet, the artistic director of the institution, became interested in him. And already with his help, an aspiring performer recorded his first disc called "Nabout Twist" - an oriental twist, moreover, even two versions: in Arabic and French. It was decided to take a pseudonym, Claude chose "Coco". It turned out that in France this disc suffered a complete failure, but in Africa it was accepted very tolerantly.

After the first try, Claude is obsessed with one idea - to start over. He was not going to give up and give up. In anticipation of a suitable opportunity, Claude returned to Olivier Despat and played the Papagayo in Saint-Tropez during the summer of 1962.

In turn, Janet was accepted into Arthur Placer's dance group at Olympia. It was there that she met the famous Gilbert Becot, with whom she fell in love and lost her head. She left Claude to be with "Monsieur 100,000 volts", as fans and journalists nicknamed Gilbert Bécault after his concerts at the Olympia for his incendiary manner of performance. Janet was sure that with him a brighter future awaited her. They will officially divorce on March 13, 1967. Claude took this break up hard. But with him his music, it will never betray.

Back in Paris, Claude signed a seven-year contract with the Fontana recording studio. The first real hit was “Belles, belles, belles”, a cover of the Everey Brothers song “Made To Love”.

The song first appeared on the famous Europe 1 radio station, and immediately gained immense popularity. And here it is - glory. Lots of interviews, TV shows. The first clip was shot by a young director Claude Lelouch - the future legend of world cinema. The video was filmed in Chamonix, in the snow, among lightly dressed girls. By the end of 1962, Claude is already a recognized star. On December 18, 1962, he first appeared on the Olympia stage in the first part of the concert, in front of Delilah and the Sputnik group. The second time it happened was on April 5, 1963, at an evening dedicated to the idols of youth. Then there was the first real tour, together with Sylvie Vartan and the group "Gam's".

In October 1963, Claude released a new forty-five, which featured the songs "Si j'avais un marteau", "Marche tout droit" (Go ahead)

And "Dis-lui". They remained at the top of the charts for several weeks. With such a grateful appearance, Claude has become a symbol of a whole generation. Record sales grew steadily, and on October 29, 1963, after a special edition of the program "Musicorama", Claude François received the first two gold discs for two million copies sold.

With his first earnings, Claude got a house in Paris, on Boulevard Excelman, and a few months later he made his main acquisition: a piece of land with an old windmill in Dunnemie, a village near Milli-la-Fore.

Very soon this place will become for him a "Happy Farm", where Claude François can be what he really was, a personal plot of complete freedom. He built his Dream House there, in the garden Claude himself grew palms, roses, magnolias, garden mimosa, parrots lived on the estate, including long-tailed parrots, swans, ducks, peacocks, flamingos, crowned cranes, a monkey named Ness-Ness, dogs and cats. A favorite corner, an oasis of inspiration, is the garden on the river bank. This became a quiet haven for Claude, where he was always so happy to relax surrounded by his loved ones. Of course, the main reason for the purchase was a great desire to recreate the atmosphere of childhood, cozy and serene Ismailia. But here's what's interesting: Claude François made his oasis of comfort not in the oriental style, but in the Old English: a wonderful mixture of greenery and flowers combined with a house built like old English country houses. Often he received guests there, with all his might and, with the help of his mother and sister, trying to make their vacation as wonderful as possible. The zest of these techniques were oriental dishes, adored by Claude and prepared by Lucia himself, rare wines from his own large cellar and cocktails prepared personally by the owner - Claude François was clearly a practical chemist in his soul, albeit very lucky, because these mixtures were very unexpected, but delicate and exquisite. In Claude's eyes, a good welcome is a kind of gratitude for the fact that the person accepted his invitation. Claude François has always remained faithful to the traditions of the East.

In 1964, Claude went on a triumphant summer tour, which would later give the name to Claude Wernick's film Crazy Summer. In September, he will again appear on the Olympia stage, but this time Claude will perform in the main part of the concert, and not in the first, intended for novice artists, as the main star of the evening. Tours follow one after the other, along with the appearance of new hits "Donna, Donna", "J'y pense et puis j'oublie" (I thought about it, and then I forgot)

,

Dedicated to breaking up with Janet. The Claude François fan club grew steadily. Hordes of screaming teenage girls are becoming quite common during the performances of France's new idol.

Around the same time, Claude managed to find a new love, which finally pushed the unfaithful Janet out of her heart into the realm of memories. The girl's name was Frans Gall, at that time she was an aspiring singer. They met for a while, but alas - the family did not work out. France chose a career over family chores. I dare to suggest that she simply did not have a strong enough feeling on her part, otherwise no career would have stood in his way.

In 1965, Claude, already having a very strong position in his native France, began to think about becoming an international star. He was attracted by American television shows, from which Claude often drew ideas for his concerts, and it was decided to win fame in the USA through England.

In the summer of 1966, according to tradition, Claude went on a tour of the cities of France. Since about this time, two stunning sexy dancers, Pat and Cynthia, appear on the stage with him. They will also be playing with him three months later at Olympia from 8 to 25 December, but so far no one calls them Clodets. The star's summer tour was marked by a mass hysteria of female fans (teenage girls) who fainted from the excess overwhelming emotions at his concerts. The same stormy success was repeated in December.

In 1967, while on tour in Lyon, Claude met Isabelle Faure, a young beauty dancer who had performed in the first part of his show three years earlier. She captivated the celebrity with her delicate features and huge blue eyes. The feeling turned out to be mutual, and the lovers never parted.
Professionally, this is a decisive year for Claude. He created his own label and recording studio, Fleche. Surrounded by an artistic and technical team, Claude was finally able to become independent and start a career as a businessman. Of course, music is his priority. After the successful performance of the song "J'attendrai" (I'll be waiting)

,

A cover of the group Four Tops, another song was recorded in September 1967 at Europa Sonor studios under their own label, "Comme d'habitude" (As usual). She was dedicated to their romance with France and parting.

After being released in France, this song becomes one of the brightest hits of the 20th century. Paul Anka wrote the English lyrics for Frank Sinatra, and a few months later the song made its way around the world, becoming “My Way”.

1967 is a year of touring not only in France, but also in Italy, where Claude François is very much loved. His shows more and more amaze the imagination with an abundance of spotlights, stunning choreography, while the number of dancers is also increasing. Now they are all called Klodets, but four girls were added to them - back vocals, who were quickly nicknamed Flashs, according to the logo of the recording studio. Claude's tour is a serious undertaking that requires a lot of staff and tons of material.

If for the majority in France 1968 is the year of riots, riots and protests, then for Claude it is one of the happiest in his life. On January 1, New Year's, Isabelle announced that she was expecting a baby. The birth of the heir took place on July 8, he was christened Claude, and his parents nicknamed Coco. The happy father later admitted to reporters that this event turned his whole life upside down and gave it a special meaning.

The second son was not long in coming and was born on November 15, 1969, receiving the name Mark. “This time,” decided Claude, “we will hide the birth of Mark for five years. And so Coco is constantly at risk of suffering from this hype around him. In no case is it necessary for Mark to get the same thing. " It would be necessary to register their relationship with Isabel already, but there is absolutely no time.

It is worth mentioning that 1969 was a particularly busy year. New triumphant records "Eloise" were released at the beginning of the year and "Tout eclate, tout explose" in November. In the same month, he performs on the stage of Olympia for 15 days. Among other things, Claude François has finally become an international artist. He performs in Africa, Italy and in early 1970 he travels to Canada. From 19 to 28 February, Claude sang in the largest cities of this country. All this time "Comme d'habitude", which became "My Way", continues its triumphal march around the world.

This song won the Oscar for Best Foreign Song, which has been broadcast over a million times on US radio. The result of such a life was insomnia, which regularly pursued the star, often Claude fell asleep in the morning, and the real day for him did not begin until two o'clock in the afternoon.

In March 1970, after a ten-day stay in the United States, Claude returned to France. On Saturday, March 14, he sang in Marseille in the Valle Hall, during a concert, right on stage, the artist lost consciousness. It turned out - a heart attack, the cause of which was huge overload. He was sent to the hospital, from where Claude was discharged two days later. The doctors prescribed him a long rest and complete rest for a month and a half. Well, Claude took advantage of the forced break and flew to the Canary Islands with Isabel.

The triumphant return to the stage took place at the same place where the series of concerts had to be interrupted. As the singer himself said: "If I fell on the Marseille stage, I must rise there too." On Wednesday, May 6, 1970, he sang in front of his fans, who were happy to see that their idol was once again full of strength and energy. But ... just a few days later, on May 17, Claude François had a serious car accident. Once again, the artist ended up in the hospital, as a result of the disaster, Claude's face was especially damaged: his nose was broken and his cheekbones were split, he was forced to undergo a course of rhinoplasty.
In June, Claude appeared on television with a new profile, at the same time his new disc was released: "C'est du l'eau, c'est du vent" (Water and Wind).

The singer toured France all summer along with some of his colleagues. He also managed to devote time and production activities, helping young talents who signed a contract with his studio. In September, at the Venice European Song Festival, Clos-Clos presented a disc consisting entirely of Italian songs.

Upon returning to France, at the end of the year, a record for children was recorded. It includes previously unreleased songs as well as classics - "Le jouet extraordinaire" (Unusual toy)

,

And Donna, Donna

.

For the photo on the envelope, Claude invited the children of his family, his co-workers, his niece Stephanie and his son Coco. The reason for her appearance, of course, was paternity, and simply Claude's love for children.

“Dear radio listeners, the premiere of the music show“ MUSICORAMA ”is on the air! Live broadcast from "OLYMPIA!" Only the best songs performed by the inimitable Claude François! "
40 years ago, these callsigns were first heard on the French radio air. 40 years ago, one of the brightest stars of the Parisian scene was lit up. Claude François has an amazing career and a tragic fate. Claude François - meteoric rise and ridiculous death. For some reason, in life everything happens exactly like this: a bright flame goes out suddenly.

Claude François was born on February 1, 1939 in Ismailia, Egypt. His father Aimé was a traffic controller on the Suez Canal. He moved to the Red Sea in 1951 with his Italian wife Lucy, daughter Josette and son Claude in Port Taufiq. This family lived in peace until 1956, the date of the nationalization of the Suez Canal by Egyptian President Nasser.
Forced to leave, the family experienced the return to France as a rude breakaway from their roots. She settles in Monte Carlo in a modest apartment. Eme is afflicted with illness and is unable to work. Gradually, his son takes the place of the head of the family.
After staying at the bank counter as an employee, Claude François begins to dream of success. With an adventurous and hardworking character, he began to look for work in the orchestras of the large Monegasque hotels.
Very early on, his parents sent him to study to play the violin and piano. He himself is interested in the world of percussion instruments. This rhythm gave him the first opportunity to express himself.

So, in 1957 he was invited to the orchestra of Louis Frosio, who performed at the International Sports Club. His father looks askance at Claude's entry into the artistic world, and from that day on, the quarrel between them settled forever.
Claude, determined in his decision, despite his small salary, insists on this path. The director does not want to let him sing - so much the worse for them, he is going to go to another place, more precisely - to the Provencal hotel Juan-les-Pins. Already more confident in himself, he begins to become famous in the nightlife cafes of the region. One day in 1959, he meets the one who will become his wife a year later, an English dancer named Janet Woolcoot.
Ambitious and determined to succeed in life, Claude François decides to move to Paris. At the end of 1961, he leaves with his wife, family and luggage for the capital.
The beginning of the 60s was an era of great upheaval for the French stage. The time has begun for "Hello Friends", the famous radio show, the French rework of the famous American hits, twists and other ye-ye.
Claude François joins Olivier Depax's Les Gamblers Orchestra. But the situation remains precarious. Finding a job is not the most important thing, he always wants to be successful. He soon released a forty-five disc at the "Fontana" entitled "Nabout twist" (a kind of oriental twist) under the name Coco. This first disc was a flop.

Aimé François died in March 1962, not having time to hear his son's first great success, "Belles Belles Belles", a French translation of a song by Everly Brothers, released a few months later.
Launched by the program Hello Friends, Claude François embarks on a real career as a singer. Taken under the tutelage of Paul Lederman, who had already established himself as an impresario, Claude François began to appear on the records of his colleagues. Having gone on a trip in 1963 with "Chaussette Noir" (performing in the first part of their concert), little by little this super-energetic young man is forcing himself to recognize himself on stage as a rising star. Several songs have climbed to the top of the charts this year, such as "Marche tout droit" or "Dis-lui". The number of female fans is constantly growing: his image of a young man from a good family, his blonde hair, varnished, and his words devoid of originality are a way to attract a female audience. In October another hit comes out, "Si j" avais un marteau ", a translation of" If I had a hammer "by Trini Lopez.

Claude François works hard and uses songs translated from English, although they nevertheless leave unfading memories ("Petite meche de cheveux" or "Je veux tenir ta main"). So, finally, success has come, and the singer is getting more and more money. In 1964 he was offered to buy a former mill in the village, in Dannemie, Ile-de-France. A few weeks later, the audience hears "La ferme du bonheur". This is also the year of his first trip as a star with "Les Gams", a group that sings mostly ye-ye, "Les Lionceaux" and Jacques Monty. This was not particularly pleasant, since the singer showed himself to be absurd, even implacable and unpleasant with his employees. In September of the same year, the first performance takes place at Olympia in Paris. This evening, Claude François sings "J" y pense et puis j "oublie", a nostalgic song that became a reason for divorce from his wife.

In 1965, the singer recorded about fifteen songs, from "Les choses de la maison" to "Meme si tu revenais". He is doing Musikorama, a radio show recorded directly at Olympia in October. This is a triumph. He continues by recording and filming a television version of Cinderella. The year 1966 is marked by the creation of "Clodettes" with four dancers-assistants. The summer trip, even more frantic, was marked by scenes of collective hysteria among female fans. At the end of the year, he again rises to the Olympia stage, once again achieving triumph.

After a short idyll with France Gall, he meets Isabelle, who will soon become the mother of his children. 1967 will prove to be decisive. Indeed, Claude François is ending his contract with Philips and is planning to create his own business. This was done with Disk Flash. He becomes artistically independent and master of himself, a real businessman. The new label was inaugurated in 1968 with the song "Jacques a dit". He continues with the translation of Bee Gees "La plus belle des choses". The same disc features a song that will become a world hit. Written in collaboration with Jacques Revo (music) and Gilles Thibault (lyrics), "Comme d" habitude "is actually a symbol of the singer's break with Frans Gall. Translated into English by Paul Anca," My way "will be sung by the likes of Sinatra or Elvis Presley.

In July of the same year, Isabelle gives birth to Claude the Younger, quickly nicknamed Coco. But Claude François does not flaunt his private life, he wants to keep his fans and not disappoint them. He continues to travel - to Italy, then to Africa, from Chad to Gabon, passing through the Ivory Coast (Côte d "Yvoire).
With the exception of the birth of his son Mark, 1969 is similar to the previous years. Note that his performance at Olympia for 16 days with the box office closed was again a triumph. The spectacle looks like a real American show, four dancers, eight musicians and a large "Olympia" orchestra, all in a hell of a rhythm. A trip to Canada is scheduled for next year. But in Marseille, for the first time, he falls right on stage. Undoubtedly, overwork is at the heart of this disease. He leaves for the Canary Islands to rest. Returning, he becomes the victim of a car accident. Barely recovered (his nose was broken and his face was broken), the tireless Claude François goes on a trip again with Dani and C Jerome. At the end of the year, he buys out Podium, a magazine for young people that will soon be supplanted by rival, the famous Hello Friends. In 1972, as a true connoisseur of black American music, he left to record the song "C" est la meme chanson in the USA, in Detroit, at the Tamla Motown studio. But his work is now varied. He is engaged in the production of "Disc Flash" , he produces artists such as Patrick Topaloff and Alain Chamfort.

Always on the lookout for new talent, he hires a young composer, Patrick Juve, to write Le lundi au soleil, a real success from 1972, for which Claude François and the Clodettes perform choreographic exercises based on small, uneven steps and waving hands. This choreography will become so famous that it will be taught in school!
On the other hand, he decides not to play at Olympia and goes on a "tour" around Paris with a big top with 4,000 seats. At the end of the year, he is subject to tax control and is forced to pay 2 million francs to the state. In 1973 he sings "Je viens diоner ce soir", "Chanson populaire" and mainly "Ca s" en va et ca revient ", songs that become hits in their turn. Dunnemie's mill was destroyed by fire in June 1973. In July, during a concert in Marseille in front of 10,000 spectators, he was hit on the head by an overzealous fan, resulting in a black eye.
The next year is going a little better. "Le mal-aime" brings misfortune, but quickly becomes a mega-bag, "Le telephone pleure" sold two million copies. Things are going well, and Claude François invests money in the "Girls Models" modeling agency. Everyone knows the singer's attraction to young girls, which prompted him to buy out the fashion magazine "Absolute" last year. He even turned into a photographer from time to time!
Building his career with a frenzy, Claude François maintains his success, although in the mid-70s things did not go as they would like. Concerts always attract an impressive number of viewers confident in the frenzied show they will participate in. So, on July 1, 1974, he brings together 20,000 spectators at the Panten Gate in Paris for "Snowdrop", a society for helping children with disabilities, led by one of his friends, Lino Ventura. The following year, the journalist Yves Murouzi organizes a concert by Claude François for the benefit of a medical research center in front of a very large audience in the Tuileries in Paris. This will be the last concert of the singer in the capital.
Between the recordings of new discs, which often take place in a tense atmosphere (the singer is very demanding), there are trips, including to the Antilles in April 1976 and to Africa at the end of the year, love stories with a Finnish girl Sophia or Catalina (his last girlfriend), his TV broadcasts, continuous travel, Claude François lives at a terrible speed. And sometimes it looks like a nightmare: in 1975 he was the victim of a bomb blast of the Irish Republican Army in London (he escaped with a burst eardrum), in 1977 he was shot from above while driving alone.

Although he repeated over the years that he had to sing songs in the same genre in order to satisfy the audience, Claude François knew how to adapt in any way to fashion, as long as it suits his person. In 1977, disco music is at its zenith. He is picked up by this wave with Magnolias for ever and mainly in 1978 with Alexandrie Alexandra, written by Etienne Rhoda-Gilles, a regular writer for Julien Clair.

On March 11, 1978, the whole of France learns that Claude François died of an electric shock in his Parisian home, trying to fix a light bulb without getting out of the bath. The sudden death of the idol plunges the public into a state of deep grief, which sometimes turns into hysteria. The singer then went into legend.
Pushed out by the destructive need to succeed despite his looks and a voice that he himself scolded, Claude François was able to hold on to the pinnacle of his art for nearly twenty years. His entrepreneurial spirit, as well as his undeniable flair, have been the driving force behind this extraordinary career that has made him the owner of the hit song brand. 11 March 2000 Place Claude-François was inaugurated to the sound of fanfare where his Paris home was

Excerpt from François, Claude

- Well, I'll break your face, don't joke! - suddenly, rolling his eyes, shouted Anatole.
- Why joke, - the coachman said with a laugh. - Will I regret it for my masters? That urine will gallop horses, then we will go.
- A! - said Anatole. - Well, sit down.
- Well, sit down! - said Dolokhov.
- Wait, Fyodor Ivanovich.
- Sit down, you're lying, drink, - said Anatole and poured him a large glass of Madeira. The driver's eyes shone on the wine. Refusing for decency, he drank and wiped himself off with a red silk handkerchief in his hat.
- Well, when to go then, Your Excellency?
- Why… (Anatole looked at his watch) now and go. Look, Balaga. A? Are you in time?
- But how is the departure - will he be happy, otherwise why not keep up? - said Balaga. - Delivered to Tver, at seven o'clock kept up. I suppose you remember, Your Excellency.
“You know, I went to Christmas from Tver once,” Anatole said with a smile of remembrance, addressing Makarin, who looked with all eyes at Kuragin with affection. - Do you believe, Makarka, that it was breathtaking as we flew. We drove into the wagon train, jumped over two carts. A?
- There were horses! - continued the story of Balaga. “I then banned the young people attached to the Kaur,” he turned to Dolokhov, “do you believe, Fyodor Ivanovich, the animals flew 60 miles; I couldn't hold it, my hands were numb, it was frosty. He threw the reins, hold, they say, your Excellency, himself, so he fell into the sleigh. So it’s not like driving, you can’t keep up to the place. At three o'clock the devils reported. The left only died.

Anatole left the room and a few minutes later returned in a fur coat girded with a silver belt and a sable hat, dashingly worn on his trunk and very close to his handsome face. Looking in the mirror and in the very position that he took in front of the mirror, standing in front of Dolokhov, he took a glass of wine.
- Well, Fedya, goodbye, thanks for everything, goodbye, - said Anatole. - Well, comrades, friends ... he thought ... - my youth ... goodbye, - he turned to Makarin and others.
Despite the fact that they all went with him, Anatole apparently wanted to make something touching and solemn out of this appeal to his comrades. He spoke in a slow, loud voice and swinging his chest with one leg. - Everyone, take glasses; and you, Balaga. Well, comrades, friends of my youth, we had a drink, lived, and had a drink. A? Now when will we meet? I will go abroad. Have lived, goodbye, guys. For health! Hurray! .. - he said, drank his glass and slammed it on the ground.
“Be healthy,” said Balaga, having also drunk his glass and wiped himself off with a handkerchief. Makarin hugged Anatol with tears in his eyes. “Eh, prince, how sad it is for me to part with you,” he said.
- Go, go! - shouted Anatole.
Balaga was about to leave the room.
- No, stop, - said Anatole. - Shut the doors, you have to sit down. Like this. - The doors were closed, and everyone sat down.
- Well, now march, guys! - said Anatole getting up.
Lackey Joseph handed Anatol a bag and a saber, and everyone went out into the hall.
- Where's the fur coat? - said Dolokhov. - Hey, Ignatka! Go to Matryona Matveevna, ask for a fur coat, a sable cloak. I heard how they were being taken away, - said Dolokhov, winking. - After all, she will jump out neither alive nor dead, in what she sat at home; You hesitate a little, there are tears, and father, and mother, and now you are cold and back, - and you take it in a fur coat right away and carry it in the sleigh.
A footman brought in a female fox cloak.
- Fool, I told you sable. Hey Matryoshka, sable! He shouted so that his voice rang out far across the rooms.
A beautiful, thin and pale gypsy woman, with shining, black eyes and black curly hair of a gray tint, in a red shawl, ran out with a sable cloak on her arm.
“Well, I'm not sorry, you take it,” she said, apparently shy in front of her master and feeling sorry for the cloak.

The Eurovision winner did not stay for a festive dinner, got on a plane and came to Claude's ..
For a long time, Claude did not open the door for her, but she persuaded him. He opened it to her an hour later ...
And then France realized that she had nothing to do with him ..

Claude was very worried later ... He dedicated the song "As usual" (Comme d "habitude") to France Gall
And then Claude said that he could no longer love ..

He soon met Isabelle.
They met in Lyon, the girl was a dancer.
She was domestic and accommodating.

She gave birth to his son Claude, a blue-eyed blonde.
Then a second year later, Mark.

And now - Claude HIDDEN the second son from the people ...
The producers advised him so ..
They said that for his image, fatherhood with many children is a negative factor that makes him old.
Isabelle gave birth in the hospital under the name of Claudia's cousin ..

And Claude told everyone that Mark was his cousin's son.
When guests came to the country house where Isabelle lived with her children, they showed only one child ..
And only one boy was allowed out into the garden, then Claude, then Mark - so that the neighbors would not suspect and talk about anything.

In addition, Claude did not allow Isabelle to appear with him in public, and one Christmas gave her ... a suitcase ..

Of course, Claude cheated often.

But he only left Isabelle when he met the Finnish fashion model Sophia.

Which, among other things, told -
"It was a sex maniac, I had 3 abortions from him."

This is Sophia, about which in the next episode))))

to be continued..
