Qui est Alain Chamfort ? | Archive INA

Subscribe http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... February 2, 2002 Thierry Ardisson welcomes Alain Chamfort for his Best of CD, "Ce n'est que moi," as well as for the two concerts he's scheduled to perform in February at the Cité de la Musique. The singer is therefore expected to perform the jingle "Marionnettes." The host recalls his beginnings: encouraged by his godmother, a piano teacher, he learned the instrument. He entered competitions and, as a teenager, was aiming for a career as a classical musician when he decided to change direction after hearing, among other things, the Europe 1 variety show "Salut les copains" by Daniel Filipaccahi and Frank Tenot. He formed variety groups, and then three crucial encounters followed: Jacques Dutronc, Claude François, and Serge Gainsbourg, for whom he wrote numerous pieces of music and who also encouraged him to become a singer in his own right. 2 song excerpts (off-air) INA archive footage National Audiovisual Institute http://www.ina.fr Subscribe http://www.youtube.com/subscription_c... #INA #TLMEP #Ardisson #ToutLeMondeEnParle #thierryardisson
