  • Les Poppys ist eine französische Boygroup. (de)
  • Les Poppys sont un groupe d'enfants français interprétant des chants dans la mouvance hippie des années 1970, en pleine guerre du Viêt Nam. Leurs chansons mettent en avant l'amour, l'incompréhension face à la guerre et la violence des adultes, la fraternité, la paix, l'écologie mais aussi la religion. Le groupe est constitué d'une partie des Petits Chanteurs d'Asnières, en Île-de-France. La constitution du groupe évolue en fonction de la mue des garçons. (fr)

  • Les Poppys was een Franse jongensgroep uit de jaren zeventig. De naam 'Les Poppys' is afgeleid van het genre dat ze zongen (popmuziek). De groep is voortgekomen uit het kinderkoor Les Petits Chanteurs d'Asnières en Île de France PCAIF. Hun chansons gingen vaak over de liefde, het onbegrip tegenover de oorlog, en het geweld van volwassenen, de broederschap en vrede. Hun grootste hit was Non, non, rien n'a changé ("nee, nee, er is niets veranderd") uit 1971. Het kwam in Nederland op de eerste plaats van de Top 40 en de Daverende Dertig. In die laatste hitparade was het de hit van het jaar. Les Poppys traden onder meer op in het Nederlandse tv-programma Toppop. (nl)

  • Les Poppys is a French musical group of 17 children founded 1946 in Asnières, France by Jean Amoureux as Les Petits Chanteurs d'Asnières and renamed to Les Poppys in 1970. , former singer of the group Les Roche-Martin and artistic director for the record company Barclay, discovered the singers in 1970 and decided to create a group called Les Poppys, named after the word 'Pop Music'. Les Poppys originated from the Hippie movement and made songs against the Vietnam War. Seventeen boys from the choir were then selected and recorded their first single: 'Noel 70'. The success came very quickly and 600,000 copies were sold. This first single was then followed by other hits during the 70's: 'Isabelle, je t'aime' (500,000 copies sold). The most successful chanson was Non, non, rien n'a changé, for which Bruno Polius was the lead solo singer, and which sold 1,200,000 copies and was a number one hit in The Netherlands and stayed in the Dutch Top 40 for 25 weeks. Les Poppys became the first child stars in French music history and were quickly invited by other countries to sing in galas, concerts and TV shows. In The Netherlands and in Germany, they even sold more records than the Beatles. In 4 years, Les Poppys sold more than 5 million records and produced four albums and 20 singles from 1970 to 1977. Their success inspired the New Poppys and other groups such as Mercredi Libre from members of Les Petits Chanteurs D'Asnières. The small singers of Asnières, as they were, consisted of the first generation of Poppys: Bruno Polius, Harry Trowbridge, Philippe and Gabriel Képéklian, Thierry and Philippe Sellier, Philippe and Jean-Pierre Herman, Philippe Magnan, Jean-Jacques Gallard, Pascal Buffenoir, Pierre Puyhardy, Olivier Dubrez, Benoit Cabane, Christophe Normand, Bernard Carayon, Olivier Antignac. Some among them left since 1971 to yield to the second generation of Poppys which included Gérald Meunier, Pascal Oubrayrie, Alain Drexler, Pascal Réali and Daniel Danglard. The group ended in 1978 but Les Petits Chanteurs d'Asnières kept on recording, making backgrounds vocals for famous singers. They also sang in 1983 for a TV musical covering songs by ABBA called Abbacadabra. Their 2 albums made were called: Abbacadabra and La Fusée de Noé. They also had a one off success with the song "Il faudra leur dire" sung with Francis Cabrel which went gold in 1987. They have since tried a comeback firstly in the late eighties under the name and in 1992 as Mercredi Libre. Although these last recordings were not commercially successful the album La ballade des p'tits anges has become highly praised and sought after. Although it has been suggested that the singing is better on this CD it is most likely due to the new songs included on this CD. The music to Commandant de la Calypso, La ballade des p'tits anges, Je te demande pas and other popular songs from this album was written by . The Poppys still go on tour occasionally. (en)
