Les Poppys

Les Poppys is a French musical group made up of a changing roster of boys, including teen and pre-teen singers, originally from the choir of Asnières, a suburb of Paris. They emerged in the early 1970s, with a string of successes driven by their distinctive pop sound infused with touches of gospel and choral music. The group achieved considerable popularity with their anti-war song "Non, je ne veux pas faire la guerre" and the heartwarming "Noël 70," which reflected the yearnings for peace and love inherent to that era's youth culture.

The group's name, a reference to the term 'pop' denoting popular music, tied their image closely with the popular cultural movements of the time. Les Poppys' signature blend of youthful innocence and socially conscious lyrics captured the imagination of the public during their peak years. Although their popularity was primarily concentrated in the Francophone world, their music resonated with a broader audience through its universal themes. With the succession of different line-ups, Les Poppys adapted to changing times while maintaining the spirit that originally made them a cultural phenomenon in France. Their later songs and albums, like "Les Annees Barclay," trace the history and development of the band through compilations and reimagined versions of their classic hits.
