Les Chats Sauvages
CareerLes Chats Sauvages was originally composed of Dick Rivers (Hervé Forneri) on vocals, John Rob (Jean-Claude Roboly) on guitar, James Fawler (Gérard Roboly) on guitar, Jack Regard (Gérard Jaquemus) on bass, and Willy Lewis (Wiliam Taïeb) on drums.
The later was successively replaced by Armand Molinetti, Dean Shelton and Andre Ceccarelli.In February 1961, the British music magazine, NME, reported that their concert at the Palais des Sports de Paris, whilst headlining with Vince Taylor, had turned ito a full-scale riot.The departure of Rivers in the summer of 1962, who was replaced by Mike Shannon, affected the band's popularity, which nevertheless continued its career.
They charted with the song "Derniers baisers", covered with success by C.
Jérôme in 1986 and Laurent Voulzy in 2006.In 1963, Jean Claude visited in New York with the group's American manager, Andre M.
Lauffer, a New York attorney,for the purpose of "making the rounds" of the popular TV shows.
They met with The Ed Sullivan Show producers and were promised consideration for a future appearance.
Unfortunately, the laws for overseas entertainers were very restrictive and the group could not meet the requirements in effect at that time.Les Chats Sauvages broke up in 1964, before briefly reappearing twice, including an album release in 1982 with Dick Rivers, to celebrate the twentieth anniversary of their formation.
