BIOGRAPHY
Jean-Claude Vannier is a self-taught pianist and arranger. He arranged for almost all the greats in French popular music, such as Gilbert Bécaud, Françoise Hardy, Georges Moustaki, Julien Clerc, and Véronique Sanson. Vannier also wrote the music to TV series and feature films, including Les guichets du Louvre (1974) and Les amants reguliers (2003). Six live solo albums as well as some instrumental records performed, composed, and produced by Vannier himself were released between 1972 and 2005.
EUROVISION SONG CONTEST
Jean-Claude Vannier was the arranger and conductor of the 1973 Monegasque entry ‘Un train qui part’ (lyrics by Boris Bergman, music by Bernard Liamis), which was sung by Marie (Marie-France Dufour) who attained a shared 8th spot in the Eurovision Song Contest held in Luxembourg that year. To the hilarity of the rhythm group of the orchestra, Vannier, who was not fond of the Eurovision Song Contest, climbed the conductor's platform wearing pyjama trousers and white gloves.
