Alain Goraguer
Alain Goraguer (French pronunciation: [alɛ̃ ɡɔʁaɡɛʁ]; 20 August 1931 – 13 February 2023) was a French jazz pianist, arranger, and composer. He was a sideman of Boris Vian and Serge Gainsbourg, and a composer/arranger for Gainsbourg, Salvatore Adamo, Jean Ferrat, Serge Reggiani, and Nana Mouskouri.
In 1965 he was the orchestra conductor for Luxembourg's winning entry in the Eurovision Song Contest, "Poupée de cire, poupée de son". (Though it represented Luxembourg, the song had an entirely French creative team behind it, as it was sung by France Gall, written by Gainsbourg, and conducted by Goraguer.)
He composed some or all of the music for films including La Planète Sauvage (1973), La Vie de bohème (1992), Deux jours à tuer (2008) and Saint Laurent (2014).
Goraguer died on 13 February 2023, at the age of 91.
