Jean-Pierre François (born 7 June 1965) is a French singer and former footballer. He remained particularly known for his 1989 summer hit "Je te survivrai", a love song written by Didier Barbelivien,[2] which reached number 2 on the French Singles Chart.

Career

[edit]

François began his football career with CS Blénod et Pont-à-Mousson.[citation needed] He played for Dijon from 1983 to 1986.[1] Following a short spell with FC Basel in Switzerland he returned to France to play for AS Saint-Étienne in the 1987–88 season.[1]

In 1989, François began a singing career with his smash hit "Je te survivrai", then with "Il a neigé sur lacs" and "Des Nuits",[3] released in early 1990. The same year, he also released his first and sole album entitled Des Nuits, which contains a duet with Debbie Davis, but it was not successful. He decided to leave the show-biz, and became owner of a discothèque in Saint-Cyprien.

In 2004, his daughter Sandy, participated in the French TV reality show Star Academy 4.
