LILIANE St. PIERRE - Quand Ce Jour La

Born in 1948 under the name Liliane Keuninckx in Diest (Belgian province of Flemish Brabant), she started her music career in the circuit of "crochets" (mini song-contests). In 1964 she was discovered by Milo De Coster, one of the colourful figures of the Flemish showbizz of those days. He launched the singer "Liliane" with the hit "We Gotta Stop".
An appearance at the Knokke Cup also launched her internationally and brought her in the company of big names - Roy Orbison, The Bee Gees, Jimmy Hendrix, Gigliola Cinquetti and many others.
In 1968 she won the song contest "Canzonissima" and was adopted by the French star Claude François, who was looking for artists to start his label "Flèche". He rebaptised her to "Liliane Saint-Pierre" and launched her career in France with considerable success. She even made it to the Parisian Olympia as an opener for Antoine.
In 1987 she represented Belgium in the Eurovision Song Contest with the song "Soldiers of Love". The festival was held in Brussels that year since Sandra Kim had won the year before. Liliane finished in 11th place.

Zonder twijfel, het beste nummer van Liliane Saint Pierre. Those were the days.

Fantastisch arrangement.

Geweldig, die periode met Claude François.
