Les Chaussettes noires
Les Chaussettes Noires (English: 'The Black Socks') were a pioneering French rock and roll band formed in 1960. The original lineup included Claude Moine, also known as Eddy Mitchell (vocals), William Benaïm (guitar solo), Tony D'Arpa (rhythm guitar), Aldo Martinez (bass guitar), and Jean-Pierre Chichportich (drums). They signed with Barclay Records in late 1960 and released several successful records, including hits like "Be-Bop-A-Lula" (1960), "Tu parles trop" (1960), and "Daniela" (1961), which became their biggest hit. The band also recorded a French adaptation of Chuck Berry's "Johnny B. Goode" titled "Eddie Sois Bon" (1961).
In 1962, they released their only studio album, "Le 2.000.000eme disque des Chausettes Noires." However, the band's popularity declined after Eddy Mitchell left for military service in 1962, and he began a solo career in 1963. Les Chaussettes Noires stopped recording in late 1964. Throughout their career, the band saw several changes in its lineup, with musicians such as Michel Santangeli, Arturo Motta, Armand Molinetti, Gilbert Bastelica, Michel Gaucher, Mick Picard, and Paul Benaïm joining at different times.
