사설토토

Alain devoted himself more and more to writing the poetry and texts which he loved whilst at boarding school. Being fully a daydreamer, his mother decided to send him to a French college in England. Following problems along with his registration he did not enrol but ended up staying in London where he worked in a pub. This amount of time in London helped him to come out of himself. On time for France, he used practicing the guitar and composed several songs. It became a passion. He lived in a squat whilst going for auditions however they stumbled on nothing. He listened to all the truly amazing English and American singers of the time scale with admiration which also influenced him.

In 1969 he met his future wife, 안전공원 and these were married in 1970. The exact same year his son Pierre was born. He continued to sing in cabarets and bars of the Rive Gauche, the literary and intellectual quarter of Paris. He made hardly any money but his wife encourage him to persevere. Finally in 1971, he landed his first contract with the Pathe-Marconi label but he still did not find success.

1973 marked the conclusion of the young singer's hard work. He made the acquaintance of Bob Socquet, the artistic director of RCA who was very enthusiastic about the repertoire of the disillusioned Alain Souchon. Bob Socquet had just written "L'amour 1930" for a romantic Italian singer but he encouraged Alain to sing this song at the Rose D'Or of Antibes contest. It absolutely was his first success.

Alain then met Laurent Voulzy, a young musician born in 1948 and brought on Anglo Saxon music whose career had not even taken off. The relationship between both of these singers immediately took off. Their personalities complemented each other and their work improved very quickly. Alain was the stronger at the lyrics whilst Voulzy provided the music. They cut their first album in 1974 called "J'ai 10 ans" which emphasised the elegant design of Souchon and the modernity of Voulzy.

After years on the cabaret scene, Alain Souchon is finally recognised for his talent and in 1975 cuts another album called "Bidon" which is why Voulzy wrote all the music. This is an enormous success. By 1977 he'd continued success with the album "Jamais content ".The song "Allo maman bobo" headlines his design of male brittleness that your singer asserts. Another song "Poulailler's Song" evokes racist humour. In spite of the fact that Souchon is an incorrigible dreamer, he liked to tackle certain problems.

The writing together of Souchon and Voulzy also had divided benefits for Laurent Voulzy who in 1977, obtained success with "Rockcollection" in collaboration with Souchon. Both men isolated themselves in Brittany for many weeks at a time to write new albums. They worked well together and in 1978 Alain Souchon presented another album "Toto 30 ans ".This album is darker than usual but the public still warms to it. The singles "Le Bagdad de Lann Bihoue" and "Papa Mambo" are huge successes. This disc also marks the first step of Alain Souchon towards the cinema while the film director Francois Truffaut commissions him to write the title song of his film "L'Amour en fuite ".

In 1978, Alain's second son Charles, was born. Almost a year later, in January 1980, Alain is invited to sing at l'Olympia that will be indeed a triumph. In November he returned for nine nights where Laraunt Voulzy joined him once to sing two new songs together.

In 1980, the album "Rame" was released where Alain Souchon's old friend Michel Jonasz sang with him on the title song "Jonasz ".Since 1974, both artists have been writing regularly together and shared exactly the same vision. This season also sees his first forage into an acting career in "Je Vous Aime ".With Catherine Deneuve, Gerard Depardieu and Serge Gainsbourg, Alain Souchon plays a fragile and melancholic person. His acting is indeed much appreciated that Jean-Paul Rappeneau then called upon him to star in the film "Tout feu tout flame" with Isabelle Adjani and Yves Montand. This film is a success but it's in the 1983 film "L'Ete Meurtrier" where he plays a figure fatally in love alongside Isabelle Adjani that brings him real fame.
