Jean-Pierre François (born on 7 June 1965) is a French singer and former footballer. He remained particularly known for his 1989 summer hit "Je te survivrai", a love song written by Didier Barbelivien,[1] which reached number 2 on the French Singles Chart.
François began his football career with CS Blénod et Pont-à-Mousson. He played for Dijon from 1983 to 1986. Following a short spell with FC Basel in Switzerland he returned to France to play for AS Saint-Étienne in the 1987–88 season.
In 1989, François began a singing career with his smash hit "Je te survivrai", then with "Il a neigé sur lacs" and "Des Nuits",[2] released in early 1990.
