Pascal Danel (born March 31, 1944 in Paris, France) is a French pop singer and composer. After two minor hits in 1964, he scored a N°1 hit single in France and various European countries with "La Plage aux Romantiques", a gold disc in 1966, followed in 1967 by the international success of "Kilimandjaro", a platinum and N°1 single, recorded by Danel in 6 languages. He then recorded many of his songs not only in French, but also in Italian, Spanish or Japanese, and toured internationally.
Many hits followed, including another N°1 with "Comme Une Enfant" and several Top 10 hits in the late 60's and 70's. Some other singles were nevertheless only minor hits.
In 1979, "La Plage aux Romantiques" hit the Top 5 again, Danel toured again, and released a live album, as well as new songs.
Danel came back in the mid 80's as a successful TV producer, and hit the charts again in 1989 with a compilation produced by his son Jean-Pierre Danel, an acclaimed guitarist and producer, earning Danel another gold disc.
His last album with new material was published in 2000. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
