Pierre Bachelet (25 May 1944 – 15 February 2005) was a French singer-songwriter and film score composer. He was also known as Andrew Bacson. He died of lung cancer in 2005. Pierre Bachelet was born on 25 May 1944 in the 12th arrondissement of Paris. He was the child of Maurice and Alberte Bachalet. Bachelet spent part of his childhood in Calais and developed a lifelong appreciation of the North of France, which later inspired his hit song "Les corons" (1982). During his youth he learned to play the piano, but his fascination with Elvis Presley led him to learn the electric guitar. He started a band with his friends when he was young called The Volts. Bachelet was married three times. His first son Yannick was born on 7 February 1964. After his first divorce, he married Danièle Bachelet. He had a second son Quentin, and his second marriage lasted 24 years. After that divorce, he married Françoise, the sister of Danièle on 31 December 1998. He died on 15 February 2005 at his home in Suresnes of lung cancer. He now rests in Marine Cemetery of Saint-Tropez. In the 1970s, Bachelet had some international success under the name Resonance with the hit "OK Chicago". His other hit songs include "Elle est d'ailleurs" (1980), "Écris-moi" (1982), "Marionnettiste" (1985), "En l'an 2001" (1985) and "Vingt ans" (1987). He also composed music for movies, including Emmanuelle (1974), Story of O (1975), Black and White in Color (1976), Coup de tête (1979), Les Bronzés font du ski (1979), the British-made Sex with the Stars (1980), and Gwendoline (1984). Robert Fripp won an out-of-court settlement over the use of music in Emmanuelle based on King Crimson's "Larks' Tongues in Aspic". His songs from the film Emmanuelle called "Emmanuelle in the Mirror" and "Theme from Emmanuelle" were sampled in the Lily Allen song "Littlest Things", released in December 2006. He also wrote the score of a few commercials and TV films. He would return to score further Emmanuelle films, such as Emmanuelle 5 (1987) and Emmanuelle 7 (1992). He also did the score for the French film Un crime au paradis (2001), which was another success for him. His signature tune, "Les corons", released in 1982, is notably used as the supporters' anthem for the football club RC Lens. Bachelet bore a physical and voice resemblance to Jacques Brel, and had a similar onstage demeanor. Bachelet held Brel's work in high respect, and his last release while alive was a cover album of Brel songs. In 2000, Bachelet was nominated for a Cesar Award for his musical score in The Children of the Marshland. Bachelet wrote, composed and became artistic director for George Chakiris, who would sing songs such as "Mon pays c'est le soleil" (1979) and "La chanson de Bernardo" (1981). He also composed melodies for Véronique Jannot, notably the melody for "J'ai fait l'amour avec la mer" (1982) and "Si t'as pas compris" (1985). In 2004, he also composed three melodies for Patrizia Grilo including two previously unreleased songs and a cover of her hit "Elle est d'ailleurs" in the Italian version "Di un altro mondo". ...
