[2] He took advantage of the events of May 1968 to return to Paris where Catherine Sauvage, known for singing Aragon or Léo Ferré, commissioned a song from him: it became Gare du Nord (1970) for which he wrote both the lyrics and the music while he was not yet eighteen.

[3] He launched a career as a songwriter and composer, crafting commercially successful tunes like Une bague et un collier (for Ringo, 1972, at Carrère), Chanson populaire (for Claude François, 1973, at Flèche Productions), La Bonne Franquette (for Herbert Pagani, 1974 – EMI), Une chanson française (Claude François, 1975, Flèche), as well as Pour ne rien te cacher (Marie Laforêt, 1974, Polydor), and Finalement on s'habitue (for Daniel Guichard, 1973, Barclay).

He then established his own company, Fauves-Puma, which produced La Vie en couleur (Polydor, 1976), performed by a one-man band, Rémy Bricka.

Adding to his achievements, he received the grand composition prize from the Yamaha Music Foundation at the World Festival in Tokyo for Dans le ciel (Into the sky, 1976, Polydor Japan).

[2] Afterward, he crossed paths with Donna Summer while working on the soundtrack for the film Thank God It's Friday, where he wrote the instrumental theme Sevilla Nights, which achieved platinum status in the United States (1978, Casablanca Records & Filmworks).
