Jean-Michel Delpech (born in Courbevoie (Hauts-de-Seine, France) on 26 January 1946) , known as Michel Delpech, is a French singer-songwriter. ==Career== In 1963, he had his debut release hit "Anatole" on Disques Vogue. In 1964, Michel Delpech met Roland Vincent, and a long singing songwriting partnership ensued with Delpech being signed to Festival French record label. In 1965, he took part in the music comedy ''Copains Clopant'' that had a 6-month run and made him very popular, particularly through his interpretation of "Chez Laurette". He was the opening act for Jacques Brel's goodbye concert at the Paris Olympia. In 1967, he collaborated with Johnny Stark. In 1968, he won the "Grand Prix du Disque" award for "Il y a des jours où on ferait mieux de rester au lit". Then he left Vogue to sign with Barclay Records. At the peak of his success, he recorded "Wight Is Wight" in tribute of Isle of Wight Festival, a famous rock festival on the Isle of Wight that became his best known song. It sold over one million copies in Europe, and was awarded gold disc status. The early 1970s brought separation from Johnny Stark for two years, and the end of the long collaboration with Roland Vincent, his first-ever writer. He had some new releases but with limited success. In the 1980s, he enjoyed a comeback and released the album ''Loin d'ici''. A compilation album followed in 1989. He continued releasing albums and making concerts. In December 2006, he released an album of duets ''Michel Delpech ''and that topped the French Albums Chart for one week (week of 21–27 January 2007). He also engaged on a French tour. 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「Michel Delpech」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
