Gilles Marchal

Its beginnings

Discovered and produced by Georges Lord of the manor, then quickly noticed by Lucien Morisse, then director of the programs with Europe 1, they signs at Disc' AZ .

It is in 1967 that its first EP leaves, the Father Christmas died , then in 1968, it always publishes the second at the same distributer, the singer of love . The same year: God which it was beautiful . The first success in 1968 with does not cry my crumb , which will be also recorded with the the United States, under the title Cry No more, Maria . The second success in 1968, with Summer Wine , where its accomplice Martine Habib, a young French singer with the very pure voice, joined it for this duet, this same song is also sung by Marie Laforêt in the French version the wine Of the summer in which the organizer-radio Gerard Klein takes part.

During the summer 1970, it interprets the shooting star , adapted of Lerner and Loewe (French words of Mr. Vidalin), interpreted in its original version by Lee Marvin under the title Wanderin' Star. and Buddy to rivet , adapted Lee Hazlewood (French words of Vline Buggy and Yves Dessca).

Gilles and Martine find themselves in 1971 with Window Seat , a title very involving. The other face of this 45 Turns is the song of the small film Trop my friend : Where C people go , composed by William Sheller.

In April 1971 appears its first 33 Turns taking again the near total of its first works. It will be republished in its original version - increased few titles - in 1999 (ref. Magic Records/Musidisc 187.662). With the end of the year, he proposes Liberté , a title written by Jean-max River and Charles Orieux diffused rather well on the waves. Opposite B one finds Martine Habib which composes the streets of the city.

In 1972, it joined the stable Motors where it adapts a song of Sony Bono of the Sony couple & Expensive: a cow-boy is never quiet (has cowboys work is never gives). In 1973, it returns to make a wink with the cinema by posing to its voice on the song of the film a free man whose music is signed Francis Lai.

Its 2nd album appears at Talar/Sonopresse in 1974. The texts are signed partly by his/her friend Claude Lemesle, Gilles composing here all the melodies. Eddy Mitchell brings its feather on a title: the planet of the dreams .

The years 1975-1985

In the years 1970 and 1980, Gilles Marchal continues to record.

He gives up little by little his character of “cow servant boy” for that of the “new man”

In 1976, Pathé Marconi accommodates it in its turn and its new song a little more commercial is signed by Jean-Pierre Bourtayre, Yves Dessca and Gilles himself: One does not remake the world with a song . It passes a little out of radio and figure on a compilation in this canicular summer. It connects in 1977 with Jeanne is there a song as beautiful as the preceding one. It is always surrounded of the same authors.

Always in 1977, he sings, in homage to the Paris region, the anthem the first names of the Ile-de-France (words of Claude Lemesle) and an album leaves the following year at Sonopresse, with songs of which he signs the music and the words, as Drôle of life which is a great success in France and abroad, and It was in France as well as lighter titles like Miss Pharmago or It is not China .

In 1980, Gilles takes part in a homage to Claude François in the presence of his fan club. It is marked so much by the attitude of the fans that it composes a superb song of it: They lost their singer , with on the face B, the keys under the door .

Short reappearance in 1982 at AZ with its last but one 45 Turns of which it signs the music, I love you too and the friendship with Claude Lemesle with the writing.

It is in 1985 that Gilles Marchal puts an end to his career of singer with a resumption of Céline , of Vline Buggy, Hugues Aufray and Mort Shuman which it records, with the back of this 45 turns: houses without faces of which it signs the music (words of Vline Buggy)
