Les Démons De Minuit
"Les Démons de minuit" is the debut single of the French band Images. Released in June 1986, it was the first single from their first album ''Album d'Images''. Very popular, the song was a huge hit in France and the main summer hit of 1986, peaking at number one for 13 weeks. Background and writing "Les Démons de minuit" was also released as an English version (by the same group), titled "Love Emotion". It was very difficult for the group to find a record company agreeing to sign a contract with them, because at the beginning nobody believed in the potential of the song. Christophe Desprès, who took part in the composition of the song, was also a member of the group Pacifique, which released two top 20 hits in the late 1980s. At the time, the music video apparently was regarded scandalous in France as it featured a little particular priest, tortured by the temptation among seductive women. Chart performance In France, "Les Démons de minuit" debuted at number 30 on the SNEP S ...

Daniel Xavier-Marie Balavoine (; 5 February 1952 – 14 January 1986) was a French singer and songwriter. He was hugely popular in the French-speaking world in the early 1980s; he inspired many singers of his generation such as Jean-Jacques Goldman, Michel Berger, who was his closest friend, as well as the Japanese pop-rock group Crystal King. Balavoine was a part of the original cast of the rock opera '' Starmania'' in 1978, which was written by Berger. Balavoine also took part in motorsports and French political life; he is known for a 1980 televised verbal confrontation with then-Socialist presidential candidate François Mitterrand. In the French music business, he earned his place with his powerful voice, wide range and recognisable lyrics, which were full of sadness and revolt. His songs dealt in themes of despair, pain and death, although hope was present as well. Biography Childhood Balavoine was born on 5 February 1952 in Alençon, France. He was the youngest in a f ...
