40 years on from her successful appearance at the very first edition Midem in 1967 the Amsterdam record label HIPPO RECORDS is proud to present Jacqueline Taïeb & The Amsterdam BeatClub with the release of her new EP 7 h du soir / Partir à Amsterdam with the additional tracks, 7 PM and Juste un peu d' amour.
Jacqueline Taïeb began her career as a singer and songwriter in 1967 and was voted Best Newcomer at the inaugural Midem in Cannes for her hit song 7 heures du matin. Since then, she has written and composed for such famous French artists as Yves Montand, Michel Fugain, Jeane Manson, Dave, Maurane, Fabienne Thibault and Stone.
In 1986, she discovered Dana Dawson in New York, an African-American 15 year old singer, wrote her the hit song Ready to Follow You and got the young artist a record deal with Sony Music France. Ready to Follow You sold 500,000 units and Dana' s subsequent album Paris, New York and Me went on to sell 300,000 units in France. This standard has been released in more than 50 compilations.
Jacqueline has also written a musical film called Followers and the soundtracks for the films Eve of Destruction (with Philippe Sarde), Ras le coeur (with Michel Fugain), Joyeuses colonies de vacances (with Mario D' Alba), and Charlie' s Party (UK ) .
