Bibi Flash, whose real name is Brigitte Gasté, is a French singer who sees her artistic career really take off when she crosses paths with Philippe Renaux, songwriter by profession.
Which, in the company of a friend of the name of Claude Mainguy, will compose the first title of the young singer "Detective" in 1981. First title which will go somewhat unnoticed, just like her cover of the title "The lion sleeps tonight" which will be released shortly after ...
It was not until 1983 and the release of the single "Histoire d’1 soir" that she finally saw her career take off. The title is a real success this time around and propels the young singer on the front of the stage in a shattering way.
Unfortunately, the great adventure will come to an end with a separation in 1984 with Renaux and above all a failed stint at RCA. No title produced with this label will break through and the new label change in 1986 at Charles Tarar will not change the situation unfortunately.

Tracks :
1981 ... the sound is trendy, as is the style, but that will not be enough to propel the young singer on the front of the scene. She will therefore have to work a little longer, that's clear ...
1981 ... in the same vein. If the first title did not really work, it will struggle to do better. We will therefore have to be a little more patient ...
1982 ... here she covers the title of Solomon Linda dating from 1939, one of the most popular titles of the end of the twentieth century. Nothing very new unfortunately ...
1982 ... a year 1982 which undoubtedly rhymes with exoticism and lightness. It's nice, certainly but not enough to hope to fight with the gratin of the moment ...
1983 ... then THIS title comes ! A title that will radically change the fate of the young singer and offer her her direct ticket to posterity. It just goes to show that you just have to be patient and anything can happen, one day or another ...
1983 ... certainly she will never manage to repeat the feat achieved on the previous title but the essential is done as they say. Everything else is now a bonus ...
1984 ... which does not prevent her from continuing the adventure hoping to do at least 'a big blow'. 'Big blow' that will never happen despite all her efforts ...
1984 ... it's nice, of course, but the level is really not enough to hope to compete with the top female of the moment. Hard law of the trade ...
1985 ... doing it easily is not necessarily the best solution to get back to the leading pack. Especially when you think that by using the term "Saint Trop" the success of the title is almost guaranteed ...
1986 ... most of the titles go under the radar now and things have not really started to get better. Attention danger as they say ...
1986 ... the delay with the competition is almost impossible to catch up. Even if this title shows an interesting potential, that will not be enough to bring her to the surface ...
1987 ... she tries everything for the whole while appealing to sizes such as Dominik Nicolas of Indochine. But even him will not be able to change the situation, that is to say. When it doesn't want anymore, it doesn't want anymore ...
1987 ... too bad she didn't call on him earlier because things could have been very different. Destiny when you hold us ...
1987 ... a year 1987 which will definitely spell the end of her hopes of returning to the race. Either it passed or it broke. It will have broken unfortunately ...
1989 ... she believed in it until the end. A hardship that commands respect but which will not have served much in the end ...
