He was known for his famous musical tale Émilie Jolie . Author, composer and performer Philippe Chatel died in Paris at the age of 72, his family announced to Agence France-Presse on Friday, February 19. "My father died last night of a heart attack, at his home in Paris," said his daughter Émilie, to whom was dedicated this world-famous musical tale, created in 1979 and which has been the subject of several versions in forty years.

First a record, the tale was then put on a show and had become a benchmark in the category of musicals for children. The original version had benefited from the complicity of leading artists such as Georges Brassens, Julien Clere, Henry Salvador, Francoise Hardy, Eddy Mitchell, Alain Souchon, Laurent Voulzy and Sylvie Vartan. The disc accompanied the young years of a large number of children, becoming a solid bestseller

Several versions of the musical tale Émilie Jolie

Each new version, published in 1997, 2002, and 2018, has incorporated new artists including Alain Bashung, Jacques Dutronc, Zazie and Axelle Red, in particular. A new tour of the show was scheduled, said the artist's brother, Thibault Chatel, to Agence France-Presse.

"Since its creation, not a week has gone by without my signing authorizations to the SACD (Society of Dramatic Authors and Composers: Editor's note) for others to ride Émilie  ", declared Philippe Chatel. “More than 2,500 amateur and semi-amateur shows (schools, dance lessons, music conservatories, etc.) have thus emerged, and it continues…”, he added.
