Frida Boccara
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Frida Boccara (October 29, 1940 – August 1, 1996) was a French singer.
Frida Boccara was born in Casablanca, Morocco. At the Eurovision Song Contest held in Madrid, Spain in 1969 she represented France and performed "Un jour, un enfant" (One day a child) - music by Emil Stern and text by Eddy Marnay. Her song (along with the entries from Netherlands, United Kingdom, and Spain) shared first place.
Boccara renewed her links with Eurovision by participating in the French national finals of 1980 and 1981. However, neither song won.
She died in 1996 in Paris, of a pulmonary infection.
