Claude Moine (French pronunciation: [klod Eddy Mitchell , is a French singer and actor. He began his career in the late 1950s, with the groupLes Chaussettes Noires (The Black Socks). He took the nameEddy from the American expatriate tough-guy actorEddie Constantine (later the star ofJean-Luc Godard 'sAlphaville Mitchell as his last name simply because it sounds American. The band performed at the Parisian nightclubGolf-Drouot before signing toBarclay Records and finding almost instant success; in 1961 it sold two million records.
Heavily influenced by Americanrock and roll , Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later inMemphis andNashville, Tennessee . GuitaristsBig Jim Sullivan andJimmy Page and drummerBobby Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London. For his American recordings he employed session men such asRoger Hawkins ,David Hood ,Jimmy Johnson ,Kenneth Buttrey ,Reggie Young ,David Briggs ,Charlie McCoy ,Leland Sklar ,Booker T. Jones ,Steve Cropper and others.[ 1]
He received aCésar Award for Best Supporting Actor in 1996 for his role in the French comedyLe bonheur est dans le pré Étienne Chatiliez .
A great lover of American films, Mitchell hostedLa Dernière Séance , a TV show about American cinema from 1981 to 1998 on FR3 (later France 3). Its format was like an old-fashioned double-feature picture show, with two movies, cartoons, newsreels, and stage attractions. The title was taken from the name of one of Mitchell's albums, which in turn took it from the French title of the movieThe Last Picture Show
He is also the voice of Dylan (Flappy) in the French version of the 2005 film ofThe Magic Roundabout Rock-a-Doodle
