Jacqueline Taïeb

Jacqueline Taïeb (born 9 November 1948) is a French singer and songwriter of Jewish Tunisian descent. She achieved her greatest success as a pop and yé-yé singer in France in the 1960s.

Biography
Taïeb arrived in France from Tunisia in 1956 with her parents at age eight. She began composing songs with her guitar at 12 and, in 1966, was discovered by a talent scout while singing with friends. After arriving in Paris, she signed to Impact Records and released the song "7 heures du matin" in 1967, which became her biggest French hit. She was voted Best Newcomer at the inaugural Midem music festival in Cannes for the song. The song was about a bored teenage girl who does not wish to go to school that day and fantasizes about rock and roll stars such as The Who and Paul McCartney.

In the early 1970s, Taïeb took a break from recording. In 1988, she penned the song "Ready to Follow You", which became an international hit for American singer Dana Dawson. The single sold more than 500,000 copies, and the album sold 300,000 in France alone.
