Michel Pétrucciani, Martial Solal et de nombreux chanteurs populaires comme Henri Salvador et Fabienne Thibeault , sa compagne pendant 25 ans.

Billie Holiday, born in 1915, is a blues and jazz American singer.
She is considered one of the greatest female singers that jazz has known.
In her autobiography written in 1956, "Lady Sings the Blues", Billie Holiday explains that Jimmy Davis was in the Army when he wrote "Lover Man". In 1942 before she could record the song, Davis was sent back to Europe and Holiday never saw him again.
"Lover Man" was originally published in 1942, but, due to a dispute between the American Federation of Musicians, and the record companies, the song was only recorded by Billie Holiday in 1944.
On October 4th Billie Holiday recorded "Lover Man" with Toots Camarata and his orchestra. When she walked into the studio and saw the set string, she was so moved that she turned away and left.
A few months later Lover Man entered the pop charts and became one of the greatest jazz songs.
