anne st clair...
who are you?

Do I know myself? Just to better see myself, at 19 I left for the roads of Europe. I had the need to balance myself morally, study others, and like the rest of the world, I dreamt of "somewhere else". Though it's rare, my parents understood and let me go, but since I didn't want to be under their guidance, I had to win(control) my own life. I bought a guitar, studied some chords and learned Joan Baez's repertoire. Afterwards? Well, I sang in the streets, was the hardest to reach. One day I was asked to sing in a cabaret, it was the first step. Afterwards, returning to France, Lee Hallyday offered me to work with him. There, I waited almost a year, I didn't feel ready and then the contracts, the obligations...I'm so reluctant to risk  losing my freedom! But I had already composed my songs and I wanted to improve. I have done my first record with les Corbeaux. It was well received by the businessmen (maybe executives?). i also did songs for Dalida among others, and she had the kindness that when I asked her for  "le Septieme jour" (The seventh day), she said, "Provided I sing it as well as you!" Of course that flattered me, but I kept my head on the ground; I have much to learn in this business. That's why, just to get familiar with all the genres I recorded "Ne sais-tu pas que c'est toi que j'aime?" (Don't you know, it's you I love)

Now, the song for me is a way to strengthen myself, to find my true personality; a step (maybe stepping stone) too. In the future, I'd like to do a musical comedy. Until then, I'm going on tour - a world tour - with Johnny Hallyday. I consider it an apprenticeship. My luck? Before, I had understanding parents, then I met writers like Boris Bergmann, who understood my temperament and wrote me songs that stuck exactly to my genre. I have a very fierce character, even savage. I rebel. For example, at the beginning, they gave me a black wig. I was ridiculed with it. I threw it out, saying "you'll take me as I am or I'll leave" But when the people act with my interests, I bend. Love? My work gives enough problems to want another. I am very sure love risks taking precedence over my career.
