Pierre Bachelet (25 May 1944 – 15 February 2005) was a French singer-songwriter with a gentle romantic voice.He spent part of his childhood in Calais and developed a life-long appreciation of the North of France, which inspired his hit song "Les corons" (1982).His other hit songs include "Elle est d'ailleurs" (1980), "Écris-moi" (1982) and "Marionnettiste" (1985). He also composed music for movies, for example Emmanuelle (1974), Les Bronzés font du ski (1975) and the British-made Sex with the Stars (1980). Robert Fripp won an out-of-court settlement over the use of music in Emmanuelle based on King Crimson's "Larks' Tongues in Aspic".[1] His songs from the film Emmanuelle called Emmanuelle In The Mirror and Theme From Emmanuelle have been sampled in the Lily Allen single Littlest Things, released in December 2006.
