Happy birthday to Isabelle Aubret (86 years old). She won the Eurovision Song Contest in 1962.

Therese Coquerelle (her real name) was born on July 27 in Lille. In 1952, she won the French Gymnastics Championships. In 1960, she won a singing competition, organized at the'Olympia. In 1961, she auditioned for talent agent Jacques Canetti who signed him to a recording contract. In 1962 she won the Eurovision Song Contest for France with the song A first love. While the cinema was gaining on him, notably with the main role in the film "Umbrellas of Cherbourg", fate will go against it with a terrible car accident. She will undergo 14 operations. The 70s will be that of international exhibition, and will allow Isabelle AUBRET to sing to Canada, Algeria, Cuba and Poland, which allows him to move away from a France disinclined to his titles. In 1981, Isabelle suffered another accident. She rehearses a flying trapeze number for the galaUnion of Artists with his partner, the boxer Jean Claude Bouthier, when she falls. She broke both legs and remained disabled for a long time. It ultimately took two long years of rehabilitation for him to regain the use of his legs and walk again. In 2009, she joined the tour Tender age and wooden heads and repeats the experience in 2010. Isabelle Aubret continues to give galas in 2023.
