Jacques Datin

After his musical training he met songwriter Maurice Vidalin, and they wrote many songs for several performers.

Since 1954, they wrote "On en dira" (written with Marc Lanjean) for Juliette Gréco.

The following year, they got 3rd place with "Petit bonhomme", sung by Camillo Felgen.

In 1964 he composed the music for the French version of The Taming of the Shrew, a telefilm that Pierre Badel adapted from Shakespeare's play.
