Dick Rivers recorded his first record as singer of the French rock n'
roll band Les Chats Sauvages in 1961 on his 15th birthday. He quit the band one
year later but since has continued his career as a solo performer.
Unlike other French rock n' roll singers of the sixties like Johnny Hallyday
and Eddy Mitchell he only began his acting career in 1999 with director
Jean-Pierre Mocky. Mocky also directed one video clip for him. Dick Rivers did a
long stint on Monte Carlo radio in a show where he narrated the story
of rock n' roll. Dick Rivers' real name is Hervé Fornieri, his stage
name was inspired by the name of the character played by Elvis Presley in the
movie "Loving You".
