Biography

Claude François, a prominent figure in the French rock & roll scene during the "yé-yé" movement of the early '60s, rose to fame alongside Johnny Hallyday. Known for his flamboyant style and hits like "Si J'Avais un Marteau," François became a teen idol with his meticulously crafted image and energetic performances. Despite his success, François faced personal challenges in the '70s, leading to his tragic accidental death at 39 from electrocution while changing a light bulb in the bathtub.

Born in Egypt in 1939, Claude François moved to France where he pursued a career in music after working various jobs to support his family. With his breakthrough hit "Belles, Belles, Belles," François quickly became a teen idol and embarked on a successful solo career, incorporating the iconic Clodettes into his stage shows. Despite financial and personal setbacks, François continued to record hits like "Le Telephone Pleure" and transitioned into disco music with tracks like "Alexandrie, Alexandra." His life was cut short in 1978 due to a tragic accident, leaving a lasting impact on the French music scene.
