His best known works include the hit "La mamma" which he wrote for Azanavour. The father of singer France Gall, he wrote the lyrics to her 1964 hit “Sacré Charlemagne". He collaborated with Serge Gainsbourg to produce her other hits including "N'écoute pas les idoles" and "Poupée de cire, poupée de son", the winning song in the 1965 Eurovision Song Contest.
