Au Bonheur des Dames (band)

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Au Bonheur des Dames was a

French rock band from the 1970s led by Ramon Pipin. Its name is likely inspired from the title of the classic novel Au Bonheur des Dames of Émile Zola
. The band is very notable for their song Oh les filles that reached the Top 10 in France,[1] which appears on their debut album, Twist, released in 1974. The group had performed its first concert in January 1972, at the Golf-Drouot. In 1977, they performed at the first edition of the now well known music Festival Le Printemps de Bourges.[2] More or less separated since 1987, the group is making a comeback in 1997 with two concerts at the
Olympia
, which result in the release of a new album (live). New return in 2006 with a concert at the Grand Rex on October 19.
