France Gall

The two singers France Gall & Véronique Sanson is not addressed over the word for many years. A rivalry related to their love story shared with Michel Berger…

After the death of France Gall, this Sunday, the 7th of January, the reactions are multiplying. Politicians, but also friends and former companions, such as Julien Clerc, take the floor to pay tribute to an artist, and a woman out of the ordinary. But the singer Véronique Sanson remains conspicuously absent… Once friends, the two women spoke over the word for many years.

What is the reason for their estrangement? Some evoke a rivalry between music, the other a romantic rivalry, since both of them have shared the life of Michel Berger. In 1972, Véronique Sanson left Michel Berger pretext to go buy cigarettes. In reality, she joined the famous singer and american guitarist Stephen Stills, for which she has had a stroke of lightning. Shortly after, Michel Berger meets with France Gall, whom he married in 1976 and with whom he has two children.

Véronique Sanson would have then said that despite his break-up with Michel Berger, she continued to communicate with him through songs in-the-middle (he wrote the beautiful song ” words of love “). It would also be called” love substitute ” his marriage with France Gall. A tackle that the latter would not have appreciated…

When Véronique Sanson is questioned about it in 2012, at the microphone of Europe 1, she admits that she does not address the more word to his old friend, but implies that their estrangement was mounted emphasized by the media. “We have not at all kept in contact, even if it was very close at a given time. But, for my part in any case, this is not because I don’t want to ! One has to be afraid unconsciously all of the two that we refiche Michel Berger in the legs”, she says about France Gall. And to add : “It has distorted our about to pull heart’s content !I said to myself : ‘But why she is saying this stuff about me’ and she said she was probably the same thing.” Then, the real tensions or a sudden media? In any case, the two women have never found their complicity of yesteryear.
