Biography
In the early 1980s, Muriel Dacq released "L'Enfer à l'envers" and "Ni pourquoi ni comment". Her biggest hit was "Tropique",[1] released in France in 1986. It reached number 6 on the SNEP singles chart and earned a Silver disc for a minimum of 200,000 copies sold.[2] At the time, the singer was married to Alec Mansion, a member of the trio Léopold Nord & Vous which had success in 1987 with the song "C'est l'amour", produced by Dacq. She also released "Là où ça???" in 1986, but it was unsuccessful (#42 in France). In 1995, she tried to revive her singing career recording a new album Ohé du vaisseau, and a single entitled "Un peu + d'amour", under the pseudonym of Black & Dacq.[3]
