Pierre Bachelet (25 May 1944 – 15 February 2005) was a French singer-songwriter with a gentle romantic voice. Bachelet died of lung cancer in 2005. == Career == Bachelet spent part of his childhood in Calais and developed a lifelong appreciation of the North of France, which inspired his hit song "Les corons" (1982). In the 1970s he had some international success under the name The Peppers with the synthesizer song "The Pepperbox", and under the name Resonance, with the hit "O.K. Chicago". His other hit songs include "Elle est d'ailleurs" (1980), "Écris-moi" (1982), "Marionnettiste" (1985), "En l'an 2001" (1985) and "Vingt ans" (1987). He also composed music for movies, for example ''Emmanuelle'' (1974),〔 ''Les Bronzés font du ski'' (1979)〔 and the British-made ''Sex with the Stars'' (1980). Robert Fripp won an out-of-court settlement over the use of music in ''Emmanuelle'' based on King Crimson's "Larks' Tongues in Aspic".〔(Interview with Robert Fripp in Live! Music Review )〕 His songs from the film ''Emmanuelle'' called "Emmanuelle In The Mirror" and "Theme From Emmanuelle" have been sampled in the Lily Allen single "Littlest Things", released in December 2006. He would return to score further Emmanuelle films, such as ''Emmanuelle V'' and ''Emmanuelle 7''. He also did the score for ''Story of O'', another huge success for him and the French film ''Un crime au paradis''. His signature tune, "Les corons", released in 1982, is notably used as the supporters' anthem for the Lens football club. Bachelet bore a physical and voice resemblance to Jacques Brel, and had a similar onstage demeanor. Bachelet held Brel's work in high respect, and his last release while alive was a cover of Brel songs. In 2000, Bachelet was nominated for a Cesar Award for his musical score in ''The Children of the Marshland''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pierre Bachelet」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
