In 1981 he achieved his first number one album with 'Ainsi Soit-il', an achievement he repeated in 1985 with 'Anne, Ma Soeur Anne'. He continued to release a steady stream of albums including 'Zap-Zap' (1989), 'Entre Nous' (1994), 'Boucbelair' (2001), 'Un Ange Passe' (2004) and 'Deux Fois L'infini' (2013).
