1982 Eddy Mitchell – Le Cimetière Des Eléphants
Le Cimetière Des Eléphants is Eddy Mitchell‘s twenty-second studio album. released in 1982 on the Barclay label. This is Mitchell’s last album to be released on Barclay before joining RCA. It has since been reissued on a compact disc by Polydor.
Claude Moine (born 3 July 1942), known professionally as Eddy Mitchell, is a French singer and actor. He began his career in the late 1950s, with the group Les Chaussettes Noires (The Black Socks), taking his name from the American expatriate tough-guy actor Eddie Constantine (later the star of Jean-Luc Godard’s Alphaville) and Mitchell simply because it sounds American. The band performed at the Parisian nightclub Golf-Drouot before signing to Barclay Records and finding almost instant success; in 1961 it sold two million records.
