Nicoletta, born Nicole Grisoni on April 11, 1944, in Vongy, France, is a renowned French singer and songwriter known for her distinctive voice and charismatic stage presence. She began her career in the early 1960s as a DJ in the trendy clubs of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, Paris. In 1966, she recorded her first release, featuring the hit "L'homme à la moto" and another track, "Pour oublier qu'on s'est aimé," although she did not feel suited to the classical chanson repertoire. Her breakthrough came in 1967 with the single "La Musique" and especially "Il Est Mort Le Soleil," which became a significant hit and was later adapted into English. Throughout the early 1970s, she toured worldwide, collaborating with various musicians and often appearing on TV shows, despite her struggles against the prevalent playback practices of the time. In 1971, she released the cult album "Visage" with a French rock band, which included the controversial track "Dieu Est Nègre," banned in Spain. Nicoletta founded her own label in 1973 and gained further recognition in the 1980s with her contribution to Bernard Lavilliers' successful song "Idées noires" and appearances in several musicals. In the 1990s, various artists wrote songs for her, and at the turn of the millennium, she occasionally performed at charity concerts, primarily organized by Princess Erika.
