Biography

In 1966 Walter represented France in the 1966 Eurovision Song Contest with the song Chez nous. He finished in sixteenth place with one point. It will be one of the first young male dancers of Serge Gainsbourg he knew in the late 1950s when the latter accompanied Michèle Arnaud during his rounds of singing at cabaret Milord I'Arsouille to Paris. Il fait partie, un temps, de l'écurie des Disques Flèche de Claude François . It is a time, the team of Records Arrow of Claude François. Serge Gainsbourg wrote him including 7 songs from 1966 and some of them, misperceived or misunderstood by the public, will give it a little nice boy image, which will quickly erode his singing career and force him to retrain in occupations in the industry: Who will read these words (1966), The Small Inflatable (1967), and Johnsine Kossygone (1967), I am capable of anything(1967) The prettiest girl in the world can not hold a candle to a cul-de-bowl (1968), Harder will be the falls (1968), Life is a beautiful slice.
