Laurent Voulzy

Born: December 19, 1948
in Paris, France
Lucien Voulzy (born 18 December 1948), better known as Laurent Voulzy, is a French singer-songwriter, composer and musician.

Voulzy was born in Paris, France. He originally led the English-pop-influenced Le Temple de Vénus before joining Pascal Danel as guitarist from 1969 to 1974. However, he is best known for his collaborative songwriting efforts with singer-songwriter Alain Souchon and his solo singing career, which spanned several successful singles and albums.

Voulzy had an international hit with the song Rockollection. The French lyrics were interspersed with some lines from classic rock hits after the chorus.

His major hits also include the singles "Paradoxal Système" (which reached the French Top 10), "Le Soleil Donne" – sung in French, English and Spanish – and the double "Belle-Île-en-Mer, Marie-Galante"/"Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde" ("Nights without Kim Wilde"; a song inspired by the chart-topping English singer). Other songs entered the French charts ("Bopper en larmes", "Le coeur Grenadine", "Désir, désir", etc.).

Voulzy also enjoys success in Belgium, Switzerland and Québec; and although being a French artist, his songs often contain multiple languages (including lyrics in English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, etc.). In 2005, Voulzy co-produced and co-composed Nolwenn Leroy's second album Histoires Naturelles.

Voulzy had a huge hit with his album La Septième Vague which reached number one in 2006. Featured on the album is a cover of the Everly Brothers hit "All I Have to Do Is Dream", recorded as a duet with Irish singer Andrea Corr. The song was released as a single and was also included on The Corrs' greatest hits album Dreams: The Ultimate Corrs Collection.

Voulzy recorded in 2007 a duet with the French guitarist Jean-Pierre Danel on his hit album Guitar Connection 2. The song hit the French charts at No. 7 in 2008. For his 2011 album, Lys and Love, Voulzy recorded a duet on the song "Ma seule amour" with English singer Roger Daltrey of The Who. In 2007, Voulzy toured France.

Title: Alain Souchon - One Day, One Fate
Character: Self
Released: October 1, 2022
Type: Movie
Alain Souchon has never been able to be as it should be and that has long saddened him. His failures in the baccalaureate and in the competitions to become a steward or postman opened up another path for him. Inspired by the music of Laurent Voulzy, he used the words that floated in his head and became the poet of life. This mixture of sweet melancholy and humor, his imagination and his sense of observation, this strong bond with the public have given him, in fifty years of career, a special place in the French musical landscape. It is his story and his repertoire filled with hits that his relatives, friends and musicians reveal here, including his sons Pierre and Charles, Laurent Voulzy, Michel Jonasz, Louis Chedid, Thierry Lhermitte, but also Jane Birkin, Vincent Delerm and Edward Baer.
