Career


During the early 1970s, he was a band member in the French rock band, Les Variations. His personal "trademarks" are his sunglasses and his guitar (a white Fender Stratocaster). His most recognised song was his hit "Words" (1982), which sold eight million records across the world, topped charts around Europe in late 1982, and reached No. 2 in the UK Singles Chart in Spring 1983.
The track's eventual UK success was caused by its exposure on BBC TV's ''Top Of The Pops''. The disc was featured on the first edition of a special Euro-slot incorporated in the TV program. The song was a catchy, slightly plaintive mid-tempo ballad sung in a slender, high-pitched voice.
In 1983 Thomas Anders (later of Modern Talking fame) covered F. R. David' song "Pick Up The Phone" in German.
