Death:Death, Cause unspecified 1982
French lyricist. He first wrote for local revues, where he found his interest in song-writing. He adapted foreign-language works, and entered the film company Pathé-Marconi to write a series of film lyrics. His first great successes dated to the end of the 1930s, and were his adaptations of foreign-language songs into French. In 1943 he wrote Valse des regrets to Johannes Brahmss Waltz in A-flat major (number 15 in his Opus 39, Sixteen Waltzes for piano), which became a great success for Georges Guétary. At the end of the 1940s he frequently collaborated with Henri Bourtayre, notably on the operetta "Miss Cow-Boy". He died in Geneva in 1982. Link to Wikipedia biography Read less
