History
French musician Daniel Faure composed during the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. He also performed himself, both singing and playing the guitar. In the mid-1960s he was part of a band called “Les Tridents” and made a recording of both “Stalactite “ and “Rien du tout” with a singer named Monique; in 1968 he recorded “La fille aux deux amours” and “Y a que ça de vrai,” with Aldo Franck and the Potatoes Trio. The same year, Isabelle Aubret won third place in the Eurovision contest singing “La source,” composed by Faure. Later he had his own “Orchestre de Daniel Faure.” He was prolific, with 120 musical works listed in the Bibliothèque National de France, dating from 1957 to 2001; and WorldCat contains 242 records for his musical scores. He sometimes used the alias “Tony Barthele” and once “Salomon Balou-Kalouango,” on the record “Les Gabonais.”
