Patrick Juvet, a former Swiss model and singer-songwriter, who became one of the kings of European record in the 70s, was found dead yesterday in an apartment in Barcelona, ​​thanks to songs like “Où sont les femmes?” and “I love America”.

Juvet was 70 years old and, according to reports from his agent, was in good health until a few days ago, so much so that an autopsy could be ordered to ascertain the causes of death. Among those who commented with pain the disappearance of Juvet in the French media is Amanda Lear: «A very sad news – says the singer and actress – We practically debuted together at the beginning of the record period».

According to Lear, Juvet “was frustrated: he wasn’t happy. In his career he was asked nothing more than to sing “Où sont les femmes?” and “I love America” ​​although he had recorded many other songs. He had retired to Spain because France gave him a little melancholy. He lived in Barcelona. We last met there. He no longer drank. ‘

Juvet’s career had had ups and downs. After studying piano and beginning as a model, the great success of “Où sont les femmes?”, Contained in a 1977 album, was attacked by the feminist movements because the text was considered sexist. Then in 1978 came the consecration with “I Love America”. But the 90s were instead a crossing of the desert for Juvet, who fell into various dependencies as he himself had told the media. After 2000 he was back on the scene with an ‘all star’ tour. In 2005 he published an autobiography, “Les bleus au cœur”, in which he officially revealed his bisexuality.

“It was something that was already talked about in the ’70s – recalls Amanda Lear – because of her playing with an effeminate look, with long hair and a lot of makeup like Bowie”. In recent years, the commitments had thinned out. Even though his agent claims he was working on a new songwriter record.
