Dick Annegarn

Acclaimed French-language singer/songwriter Dick Annegarn was born in the Netherlands, grew up in Brussels, and later moved to Paris, where he began his recording career. He made his debut in 1974 with Sacré Géranium on Polydor. Featuring one of his best-known songs, "Bruxelles," the album was followed quickly by a few others: Je Te Vois (1974), Mireille (1975), and Anticyclone (1976). During the '80s, his output was sporadic and poorly received. In the '90s, he found a home on the Warner subsidiary label Tôt ou Tard; Approche-Toi (1997) marked a major comeback, and subsequent releases on the same label were similarly well received. ~ Jason Birchmeier
