When the boy's parents divorced, and he was born in the family of a film director and violinist, the boy retained good relations with his father and mother.
He studied easily, while studying at the University of Michigan moonlighting, and playing the guitar for him was just a hobby. He played the guitar very well and over time, he had the first fans among friends.
Joe began to perform in the night cabaret in Detroit. At first he did not have his own specific style in singing and in his songs, he liked American folk songs and French chansons and Joe tried to combine it somehow.
After he received the diploma, Dassin returned to France, starred in two films that did not bring him popularity. After that, the future star of the French chanson decided that his future was not in the movies, but in music. I want to note that Joe for a long time could not decide which language to sing to him - in English or French, but once the case changed everything.
At one of the parties where he sang songs of French chansonnier, Joe met his first love, and later his wife - Mariz. It was this woman who recorded his singing on the tape recorder, and then took the recordings to the radio station, but since Joe was performing American music, she did not become particularly popular.
Dassin started singing in French and his audience accepted the song with a bang. The singer believed that the songs should help people cope with their problems, they should be kind and full of love, because with the help of a song a person should forget about everything bad.
Soon he found a composer and writer who would adhere to his views, and they wrote the first hits for him. Maris, during the formation of Joe Dasen as a singer, was always with him, helped him in everyday life, was responsible for his correspondence. Mariz and Joe soon decided to tie their fortunes (1966). Dassin did not want to marry Mariz for a long time, because he remembered how his father left his family in the childhood for the sake of another woman, but all married Mariz, since she gave him an ultimatum. He lived with this woman for the next 10 years. Over time, the couple's relationship deteriorated, and finally they decided to part after Mariz gave birth to a child who died soon after birth. Mariz knew perfectly well that Joe had a mistress for a long time and that nothing would save their relationship.
Joe is famous and popular, he is recognized on the streets, he has everything, but there is no happiness in his personal life. His second wife, Christine, he met on the plane. The girl was upset because she had just parted with the guy and Joe decided to reassure her, but she rudely refused him. Dassin, to put it mildly, was surprised, because he is a star, and this girl refused him.
Later they met in the hotel bar and got to talking. After their first meeting a few months passed, Joe could not forget the blonde Christine and once met her, decided that she would not be letting go, and they had a long romance.
For about five years, they met secretly from all friends, wives in different countries, different hotels and everything would be fine, but the status of a secret lover eventually began to not suit Christine. Joe did not make her a big offer, but simply handed over a business card with her name and his last name.
In 1978, Christine and Joe were married. They spent a luxurious honeymoon and soon became Christine Dossen, and after six months had passed since the birth of Jonathan's first son, she soon gave birth to his second son, Julien. After the birth of the first child, Dossen stated at the celebration of his 40th birthday that he would soon leave the stage, as he has everything he dreamed about - fame, recognition, money and most importantly - the family.
Christine can no longer accompany her husband on tour, because she is forced to look after her first child, but her child is not particularly interested, since she is jealous of her husband. Arranging tantrums and being jealous, she tears off a tour to her husband and he returns. Female hysteria leads him to depression, and he begins to drink, and Kristin, to somehow get rid of the pain begins to indulge in drugs and pushes Dassin on them.
Shortly after the birth of the second child, Christine leaves Joe, as he touts and perform a lot, with little time for her (they both understand that their marriage has exhausted itself).
Before the big performance Christine takes the children and leaves with them to their parents in Rouen, and Dassin has a heart attack during this speech. Dassin did not die, he sued Kristen and won temporary custody of the children. Joe interrupts the tour and travels with the children to Tahiti, and the next day, after he arrived on the island, he dies - his heart failed (Dassin's performances were fanatical by millions, his concerts were waited, but in August 1980 he died of a heart attack caused by nervous exhaustion and depression on the background of the fact that his second wife left him, taking with him two common sons).
Currently, Joe Dassin, along with the legendary chansonnier of France, is one of the most famous French singers, whose songs are played on many radio stations of the world from time to time. His two sons also became musicians.
