Jacqueline-Rosine-Adrienne Dulac, born on October 27, 1934 in Vichy, is a French singer whose career began in the 1960s. An only child, she grew up in a traditional, provincial environment. Despite her early love of music, she took drawing and painting lessons in response to her parents' opposition, before devoting herself fully to singing. Her first record, a super 45 entitled Je Crois en Toi, was released by Barclay in 1963. After starting out in Parisian cabarets, Jacqueline Dulac rose to fame thanks to Guy Lux's 1965 show Palmarès des chansons , which propelled her to the Bobino stage, opening for her idol Charles Trenet. Her success was confirmed with the song "Ceux de Varsovie," which won the Rose d'Or d'Antibes in 1966. In 1968, his first album, Contre Jour, won the Grand Prix du Disque de l'Académie Charles Cros. Her career had its ups and downs, marked in particular by a dramatic incident in 1969 when she agreed to pose in a cage with four lions for the cover of her album Le lion. The incident led to a lengthy period of hospitalization, but Jacqueline Dulac resumed her international tours after her convalescence. Over the years, she has released several albums, including C'est Merveilleux de Vivre, Mosaïque, Besoin des autres, and others, covering a variety of genres. She has also taken part in galas and tours around the world, sometimes moving away from the Paris scene. Fruitful collaborations with renowned songwriters and composers, such as Eddy Marnay, Henri Tachan, and Francis Lai, enriched her repertoire.In the 1980s, Jacqueline Dulac continued to record music, including singles such as "S.O.S amitiés" written by Eddy Mitchell in 1981. She also explored other musical genres, becoming a versatile artist. Her return to the Olympia stage in the 2000s alongside other artists marked a new phase in her career. Jacqueline Dulac wrote the music for some of her songs, and penned all the lyrics for her 1998 album, Flagrant Délice.
