Info: "Aline" is a single by French singer Christophe. The song became one of the two big hits in France during the summer of 1965 along with "Capri c'est fini" of Hervé Vilard. It sold one million records. The song was produced by the Disc'AZ label. The song is about a man begging his woman to come back and has been described as a "slow, romantic ballad". On 25 September 1965 it reached number one in Belgium's top 10, surpassing "Capri c'est fini" which came in second place, becoming a "substantial hit" in that country according to Billboard magazine. In October 1966 it became the number one hit in Israel. The song was composed by Christophe and arranged by Jacques Dejean. "Aline" is Christophe's favourite song.

Christophe died from a respiratory illness on 16th April 2020, aged 74, according to his family. Known for his distinctive voice and ballads "Aline" and "Les Mots bleus", Christophe had been in intensive care since late March, reportedly with complications caused by the coronavirus.

The French daily newspaper Le Parisien reported on 29 March that he had tested positive for Covid-19, which the singer's agent did not confirm.

The family's press release made no mention of the virus.

Christophe's widow Véronique told AFP that the cause of death was "emphysema", a respiratory illness.

Born Daniel Bevilacqua, at age 16 he created the group Danny Baby et les Hooligans, riding the rock and roll wave that was sweeping the United States.

Among his early idols were Edith Piaf and Gilbert Bécaud, and later, Elvis.

After his military service, he decided to go solo and adopted the stage name Christophe.
