Biography

Guy Bontempelli learns very young person the piano and the harmony while impassioning himself already for the song. Per hour of the studies post-secondaries, Guy chooses the letters and the right. At the time of a passage to New York, where the young man attends the largest musical comedies of Broadway, it decides to launch out in the song.

Song writer and performer with the songs of great qualities, Guy Bontempelli was success thanks to interpretation by Francoise Hardy of My youth fout the camp . Portrait of a man who parallel to his own career wrote for the largest interpreters of the French song: Gréco, Dalida, Nicoletta, Bardot, etc

In 1965, its first disc, which includes/understands Your eyes catechu , the Seine and Rouen and Madrid , obtains the Grand Prix of the Academy Charles-Cross-country race. However, before the exit of this disc, Guy Bontempelli had already written songs for

Michele Arnaud ( the Seine and Rouen , Grammar and the love , Concarneau )
Catherine Sauvage ( Which does remain? )
Patachou ( the Marriage of Angele )
Jean-Claude Pascal.

Several of these songs will be taken again by their author.

In spite of the relative success of its discs (its very noticed song When I see passing a boat , coécrite with Gerard Bourgeois in 1966), the song writer and performer is long in going up on scene ; he is paralyzed by the trac. He ends all the same up making the Olympia in 1969. In parallel, it animates various television programs, in particular on Antenne 2 (Words and musics).

While continuing to record some songs sporadically, Guy Bontempelli forsakes his career of singer to devote itself to other artists. Thus Francoise Hardy, after having interpreted You will see in 1966, records in 1967, which will be the greatest success of the composer-songwriter: My youth fout the camp . The song will be taken again by Jean-Claude Pascal with as much of success.

Among the interpreters of Guy Bontempelli, Juliette Gréco occupies an important place. Indeed, this one interprets with emotion: the Woman , In your bed (1967), the Tango , Made not the war (1968).

In addition, it proves to be interesting to note that the women are numerous among the interpreters of the composer-songwriter, some examples:

Brigitte Bardot, Since you left me , 1970
Noëlle Cordier, I looked at
Dalida, Pars , 1970
Christine Delaroche (which was his wife), Fais me the love the afternoon (music of Warren Saxony), Vamp of pocket and begun again You will see (1995)
Mireille Mathieu Chanson sad , 1971
Nana Mouskouri, With the door of the garden , 1973
Nicoletta, Which is the man , 1971

In 1967, Guy writes a text on famous the Concerto of Aranjuez of Joaquín Rodrigo. The song Aranjuez my love , recorded by Richard Anthony, is an enormous world success. Richard also interprets Severine in 1968 and a red sun in 1971. Charles Aznavour does not hesitate to collaborate with the composer-songwriter. This prestigious collaboration will I love you give rise to songs like (1972) and do not make of it you (1978), recorded both by Aznavour itself.

Guy Bontempelli also collaborates with Eric Charden. He gives him initially the text of 14 years Gallic the at the end of the Sixties. Later, Stone and Charden (duet made up of Eric Charden and Annie Gautrat, alias Stone) will interpret, inter alia, Like the miller makes his bread . In 1975, collaboration between the two men gives rise to Mayflower , a musical comedy become since mythical. This work, produced by Charles Talar, is signed Eric Charden for the music, Guy for the booklet, Jean-Claude Petit for arrangements. The double album is sold with 200.000 thousand specimens and work obtains a great success on scene.

Guy Bontempelli will frequently renew the experiment of the musical comedy ( If that sings you , Niméñio 2 , created with Gerard Bourgeois).

During its career, it also produced television programs. In spite of the republication of his old songs out of compact disk (double CD, in 2000), Guy Bontempelli did not record new songs since 1983, proving that its career of singer is from now on behind. Unless it returns to us one of these days with a new album…
