Paul de Senneville (30 July 1933 – 23 June 2023) was a renowned French composer and music producer, known for his contributions to instrumental pop, classical, and easy listening music. Born in Paris, France, de Senneville initially embarked on a career in journalism, working for prominent French newspapers such as France Soir. He later transitioned to television production before founding his own record company, Delphine Records, in 1974 alongside Olivier Toussaint. The label was named after his first daughter, Delphine.

De Senneville's music career was marked by his passion for composition, beginning with his first song in 1962. He composed music for numerous French film soundtracks and collaborated with lyricist Jean-Loup Dabadie on the hit song "Tous les bateaux, tous les oiseaux," recorded by Michel Polnareff. His successful partnership with Toussaint led to the formation of the Pop Concerto Orchestra and the Anarchic System, both of which achieved significant commercial success.

One of de Senneville's most famous compositions, "Dolannes Mélodie," became a chart-topping hit in several countries and played a pivotal role in launching the career of trumpet player Jean-Claude Borelly. Additionally, de Senneville's work was recognized in the Eurovision Song Contest and through a César Award nomination for Best Original Music.

Delphine Records became a leading French music exporter, specializing in instrumental music and discovering talents such as Richard Clayderman, Nicolas de Angelis, and Diego Modena. De Senneville's compositions, including "Ballade pour Adeline," "A Comme Amour," and "Lettre à ma Mère," became iconic hits, particularly through Clayderman's recordings. Throughout his career, de Senneville's contributions to music left a lasting impact, with over 100 million records sold internationally.
