Life
Suzanne Gabriello, called Zizou , was the daughter of the French actor and comedian André Gabriello (actually André Galopet), whom she followed into show business. In 1955 she was a presenter , storyteller and singer alike and formed the trio Les Filles à Papa with two other daughters of famous cabaret artists, Françoise Dorin and Pierrette Souplex .
On a tour organized by Jacques Canetti she met the Belgian chansonnier Jacques Brel , with whom, although he was already married, she had a passionate love affair with numerous separations and reconciliations over the next five years. In her role as the announcer of the Paris Olympia , she campaigned for Brel's performance in the Music Hall and announced it herself at one of his early concerts. According to her, Brel wrote his famous chanson Ne me quitte pas for her and sang it for her in the presence of friends. Brel later contradicted this, however, and called the chanson simply “the story of an asshole and failure. It has nothing to do with any woman. "
Gabriello specialized in comic chansons and parodies . She parodied Georges Brassens , Enrico Macias , Jean Ferrat , Guy Mardel and Nino Ferrer, among others . She later switched to acting and starred in eight feature films. She married twice: she had a daughter with the director Guy Lauzin and a son and a daughter with the singer Michel Dubaile.
