Tuesday evening, Jean-Luc Azoulay announced the death of singer Emmanuelle, known for her hits “Premier Baiser” and “Rien que toi pour m’endormir” in the 1980s, before becoming a screenwriter for AB Productions. She was 59 years old.
The Club Dorothée generation is in mourning. This Tuesday evening, Jean-Luc Azoulay, founder of AB Productions, announced on Facebook the death of singer Emmanuelle, known for her hits First Kiss And Just you to put me to sleep In the 1980’s.
She was 59 years old. “Emmanuelle left us. Immense sadness. She will remain forever in our hearts”, he wrote. According to the producer, she died on March 16 in a Paris hospital.
Born in July 1963 in Paris, she began her career as a singer in 1985, performing for host and singer Dorothée the robotic choirs of the hit Hello Hello Mr Computer.
Barely a year later, she is put into orbit with the huge success of her song first kiss (in the singular, unlike the series of Ab Prods!), whose single will sell 700,000 copies.

In 1987, his song Just you to put me to sleep will also be a great success, with 400,000 singles sold. Faithful to Club Dorothée, she also took part in the filming of the Jacky Show and the pellet No mercy for the croissants.
After a few unsuccessful attempts at musical rebounds outside the Club Dorothée universe, in order to move away from this acidulous and childish image, Emmanuelle returned to the bosom of AB Productions in the early 1990s as a screenwriter. She will thus participate in the writing of the series Hélène and the boys, The Girls next door, The Miracle of love and its sequel, The Holidays of love.
In the 2000s, she left AB Productions to embark on more personal projects, such as photography and cinema. Contacted to participate in the Stars 80 tour, she had refused, definitively turning the page on her debut.
