Pierre Bachelet, a popular singer (his song "Les Corons" became a
tremendous hit in France), always had a special connection with the
world of cinema. Wasn't he a graduate of the Rue de Vaugirard Film
School? His becoming a film music composer soon appeared as the ideal
link between his two passions. That is how Pierre Bachelet lent his
talent to successful (either commercial or artistic) films such as
Emmanuelle (1974),
Jean-Jacques Annaud's
Sehnsucht nach Afrika (1976)
and Damit ist die Sache für mich erledigt (1979),
Patrice Leconte's
Sonne, Sex und Schneegestöber (1979)
or Jean Becker's
Ein Sommer auf dem Lande (1999).
He also wrote the score of a few commercials and TV Films. Pierre
Bachelet died prematurely at the age of 60.
