JEAN PAUL VIGNON

A Remarkable Journey in Music and in Love “I HAD MYAbout FIFTEEN this template MINUTES”

“ I am not a movie star, I am not a rock star, and I have not sold millions of records, even though I had my fifteen minutes !” “I am not a scientist and I certainly don’t know how to do a heart transplant, even though, to please my father, I studied one year of medicine.”

PASSIONATE INDEPENDENT “I am not a Republican, I am not a Democrat, I am a very Independent guy who asks questions and seeks the truth. I have learned to trust any politician, if they have written a book or not. The same goes for religions.” “

“But what makes a person interesting is not just success, influence or money. The intricacies of life and how one deals with them is the key to make a story fascinating.”

Jean Paul Vignon JEAN PAUL VIGNON

A Remarkable Journey in Music and in Love

An American citizen since 1969, Jean-Paul Vignon was born in Ethiopia of a French father and an Italian mother, spent his childhood in Djibouti (formerly French Somaliland) and studied in France. That exotic background made him a sensuous singer and a man with a passion for life. CHILDHOOD & INSPIRATIONS

In Djibouti, during WW2, all communications“ with occupied France had been stopped and all the products available were American, and in particular the movies ! Jean-Paul, as a little boy, was fascinated by what he was seeing on the screen, the New York skyscrapers, the Indians and cowboys of the western films, the gorgeous American ladies who could sing and dance so well ! The first movie stars he knew were James Stewart, Tyrone Power, and of course, and Ginger Rogers ! As a teenager, Jean-Paul had been an admirer of the great French composer Charles Trenet who wrote international hits such as “Beyond the Sea” and “I Wish You Love”. Later he had the privilege of meeting Charles Aznavour whom he admired as a composer and a performer. But he also was attracted by American music and had been listening to every Frank Sinatra’s records he could find. That’s why his musical taste goes beyond the trend of a moment and gives him a unique universal appeal. A FRENCH | AMERICAN CAREER PARIS BARCLAY RECORDS CABARETS ASPHALTE ALGERIA FRANÇOISE ARNOUL STARTING ALL OVER AGAIN NEW-YORK ED SULLIVAN SHOW BLUE ANGEL In Paris, Jean-Paul won a song contest and was immediately signed by a manager who guided his career. He sang in cabarets, recorded for Barclay Records, starred in two movies, one, “Asphalte”, with the French movie star Francoise Arnoul, and he appeared many times on . Unfortunately in those days France was at war in Algeria and Jean-Paul had to go to the army to perform his Military Service that lasted 28 months. When he came back his early achievements had been forgotten and he had to start all over again ! FROM PARIS TO NYC WITH LOVE

He got a booking on the ship The France, and the American crowd liked him very much. A gentleman who had some relations in show business told him that he could help him if he came to New York. Jean-Paul who had been dreaming of America since his childhood did not hesitate. On his return to Paris he sold everything and flew to New York where he made his debut at the “Blue Angel”, opening the show for a young Woody Allen… The scouts of the Ed Sullivan Show saw him there and signed him for eight appearances on his TV program.
