Pierre Bachelet
Pierre Bachelet was a renowned French singer-songwriter and film score composer, born on May 25, 1944, in Paris, France. He passed away on February 15, 2005, in Suresnes, France, due to lung cancer. Bachelet's career spanned from 1972 to 2005, during which he became a significant figure in French pop music. He was known for his evocative film scores, notably for the 1974 film "Emmanuelle," and for his hit songs such as "Les corons," which became an anthem for the miners of the Nord-Pas-de-Calais region.
Bachelet's music often reflected his deep appreciation for the North of France, a sentiment that resonated in his 1982 album "Les Corons." His other popular songs include "Elle est d'ailleurs" (1980) and "Marionnettiste" (1985). He was also known for his work in cinema, composing scores for films like "Black and White in Color" (1976) and "The Children of the Marshland" (1999), for which he received a César Award nomination.
Throughout his career, Bachelet was influenced by Jacques Brel, and his final album, released in 2003, was a tribute to Brel's work. Despite a relatively short career, Bachelet left a lasting impact on French music, with his songs continuing to inspire and move audiences.
