Sacha Distel - Sacha, Profession: Chanteur - 1957-1962 '2021

Tracks list

Sacha Distel was one of the top jazz guitarists and chanson singers in France. A
prolific recording artist, Distel recorded more than 200 tunes including his
biggest hit, Scoubidou, in 1958. In addition to appearing in several French
films, he became one of Frances most popular television actors. Distel inherited
his love of music from his mother, who played piano, and an uncle, Ray Ventura,
who was a renowned bandleader and composer. Trained by Henry Salvador,
guitarist/singer for Venturas orchestra, Distel was a featured soloist with his
school orchestra by the age of 13. He established his early reputation as
accompanist for French vocalist Juliette Gréco.

Following a stint in the French military, he spent an extended period in New
York, haunting jazz clubs in Manhattan and Harlem. Returning to France, Distel
launched his solo career.

The success that he enjoyed during the 60s and 70s was offset by a series of
setbacks in the 80s. After struggling psychologically following a mid-80s car
crash, in which a colleague was seriously hurt, Distel was diagnosed with cancer
and forced to undergo chemotherapy.

Distels compositions have been covered by a lengthy list of international
artists including Archie Shepp, Tony Bennett, Bobby Darin, Billy Eckstine, Bobby
Hackett, Shirley Horn, and Bireli Lagrene. He passed away in 2004 at the age of
71. ~ Craig Harris
