A student with little talent for studies (she left school at the age of 16), Corynne Charby first went through a modeling career in the late 1970s. 1st career that will see her cover major magazines and participate in parades of large fashion houses. The 80s came when she began a career change, notably in cinematography. Career which unfortunately will not bring him the same success as modeling. In 1984, a new change of course, she launched into song and released her 1st single "A cause of you" written by a certain ... Didier Barbelivien ... unfortunately without much success. Some others will follow, still without much success. But it was 1986 and the single "Boule de flipper" (composed by singer Christophe) which suddenly propelled her to the top of the hits. Followed 1 year later by the title "Pile ou Face" which also knows a certain success. This will not be the case for the album "Toi" released the same year. Sounding the knell for the career of this pretty "comet" spent as quickly in the media landscape as a pinball ... To discover or rediscover. Discography (among others ...) :

1984...the gentle beginnings of one of the prettiest shooting stars of the 80s on the French side. No one imagines at this stage the huge sequel that is on the horizon...
1984... there are worse composers than Didier Barbelivien to start a career, that's for sure. Despite the enormous talent of the latter, the young Corynne goes under the radar for the moment...
1984...yet both of them believe in it but nothing works for the moment. The young singer cannot stand out from the crowd despite an obvious desire to do well...
1984...we feel that nothing really is missing, just a little help from fate. Let time do as they say and fate may have a very nice surprise in store for her...
1985... it won't be for the year 1985 but we are getting closer slowly but surely. Go on a little more...
1986...the miracle will finally happen with THIS title ! Where Didier Barbelivien despite all his talent failed to raise her to the top of the Charts, Christophe, him, will finally find the miracle recipe thanks to a 100 % Dance title and above all 100 % effective. MAS-TER-FUL !
1986...a totally improbable duo to say the least. So improbable and so surreal that it will go unnoticed to say the least...
1987...notorious new success a year later. New hit and final consecration for the Bellissima ! It took some time to take off but now that it's done, the thrust of the engines is impressive to say the least...
1987... in supercharged mode with this title which spins at 200 km/h at certain times. Not sure if this is the best method to stay ahead of the race...
1987...the art of going from one extreme to another. After the overspeed here comes the time of extreme finesse and extreme lightness, enough to get lost in the end...
1987...a particularly prolific year but very unequal in terms of quality of songs. The good and the less good, it's up to everyone to sort it out according to his personal tastes...
1987...be that as it may, the adventure continues even if the stalling of the leading pack is now very real. Too bad because we thought she had finally left to shine for at least a decade...
1987...the final clap of a dazzling career that will have left some beautiful Dance nuggets, that's at least that. Better a short but full career than a long but bland career...
1987 ... go, a little last for the road. In the end, a career for the less well folds with modeling, cinema, song at high level, there's worse as they say...
