Nicole Rieu (born 16 May 1949) is a French singer, best known outside France for her participation in the 1975 Eurovision Song Contest.
In 1973 she was spotted by the larger Barclay label, where she was offered a deal, and scored a hit with her first release "Je suis".
The contest was held on 22 March in Stockholm, and Rieu finished in fourth place of 19 entrants.
[7][8] Rieu followed her Eurovision appearance with further successful singles such as "Je m'envole" and "En courant" (a French-language version of Diana Ross' "Theme from Mahogany") in 1976, "L'immigrant" (1977) and "La goutte d'eau" (1979).
She took a career break of several years in the 1980s in order to concentrate on raising her son, since when she has continued to tour and release albums at sporadic intervals.
