This beloved French artist amassed a respectable discography during his tenure—from the ‘70s, when he scored films (including the cult classic Emmanuelle), right up until his death in 2005. As a performer, Bachelet kept his own mellow pace, favouring a vintage, Jacques Brel-influenced sound over pop's ever-shifting trends. Dig in and discover the gentle, gravitas-filled ballads that have become French staples—heard from velvet-draped concert halls to muddy football stands, where RC Lens supporters have adopted Bachelet's signature track “Les Corons” as their official anthem.
