Life
Spade studied law at the Sorbonne and later also at the University of Strasbourg . During the Second World War he went to Spain and there joined the Forces françaises libres . At the end of the war he returned to France in 1945 and worked as a journalist for several years.
In 1949 he changed the medium and went to Radiodiffusion-Télévision Française (RTF). There he was soon able to make a name for himself in various departments. In 1988 he finished his work at the Office de Radiodiffusion Télévision Française (ORTF) and withdrew into private life.
His debut in 1958 with the novel “Le premier matin” was very successful and over the years, in addition to his job, a small independent literary oeuvre was created, which was highly praised by both the public and the critics. In addition, his chansons were also in great demand; he wrote most of the text for Henri Decker and Francis Lemarque .
At the age of 87, Henri Spade died on November 12, 2008 in Paris, where he found his final resting place.
