Alain Barrière (born Alain Bellec; 18 November 1935 â€" 18 December

2019) was a French singer, who was active from the 1950s until his

death and was known for participating in the 1963 Eurovision Song

Contest.After growing up in a small town on the coast of Brittany, in

1955 Barrière enrolled in the École nationale supérieure d'arts et

métiers in Angers. As a student he bought a guitar and started to

write songs. After graduating in engineering in 1960, he moved to

Paris to take up employment, and started to perform in the evenings at

small clubs around the capital. He won a song contest in 1961 with the

self-penned song "Cathy"; his style was chanson-based with no

concession to the burgeoning yé-yé scene, but nonetheless he was

soon signed to a recording contract and started to release singles

regularly, enabling him to give up his job and make at least a modest

living from music.In 1963, Barrière's song "Elle était si jolie"

("She Was So Pretty") was chosen as the French representative in the

eighth Eurovision Song Contest which took place on 23 March in London.

"Elle était si jolie" finished fifth of 16 entries.
