She sang in Charles Aznavour&#8217;s shows and married her colleague Fran\u00e7ois Lubiana in 1960, with whom she was married until 1968. During a trip to the USA, she appeared on television shows with Pat Boone, Perry Como and Ed Sullivan. On her return to France, she toured with Jacques Brel and Georges Brassens. In 1963, she had her biggest hit in Germany with the song <g id=\"gid_0\">Mitsou<\/g> by <g id=\"gid_1\"><g id=\"gid_2\"><g id=\"gid_3\">Christian Bruhn<\/g><\/g><\/g> and performed at the election party of the new Federal Chancellor Willy Brandt in Stuttgart.    <\/p>\n\n<p>A serious car accident in 1966 paralyzed her career for about two years. It was not until 1968 that she was able to resume her career in Germany with a new recording contract with Cornet. She released the album <g id=\"gid_0\">Jacqueline Boyer<\/g>, which contained four new hits, including <g id=\"gid_1\">Mucho amore<\/g>, which became a top 10 success. However, she had no further chart successes from 1969 onwards.   <\/p>\n\n<p>In 1971, she received an offer from Bruno Coquatrix, the director of the Parisian variety theater &#8220;Olympia&#8221;, to perform together with the chansonnier Charles Trenet. This was followed by concert tours with Charles Aznavour in Germany, London, Japan and New York, among others. Between these tours, she presented a joint music show with her mother at the Olympia in Paris.  <\/p>\n\n<p>Inspired by her tours abroad, she decided to make her shows more American. She hired a new team of musicians and recorded several records under the name Barbara Benton. <\/p>\n\n<p>After a few years, she finally returned to France, took up her original stage name again and presented a show entitled <em>Parlez-moi d&#8217;amour<\/em>, which was initially a great success in Canada before also going on tour in France.<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-container brlbs-cmpnt-content-blocker brlbs-cmpnt-with-individual-styles\" data-borlabs-cookie-content-blocker-id=\"youtube-content-blocker\" data-borlabs-cookie-content=\"PGlmcmFtZSB0aXRsZT0iSmFjcXVlbGluZSBCb3llciAtIE1pdHNvdSAxOTYzIiB3aWR0aD0iODAwIiBoZWlnaHQ9IjQ1MCIgc3JjPSJodHRwczovL3d3dy55b3V0dWJlLW5vY29va2llLmNvbS9lbWJlZC8zRS1BQi1UVlQzTT9mZWF0dXJlPW9lbWJlZCIgZnJhbWVib3JkZXI9IjAiIGFsbG93PSJhY2NlbGVyb21ldGVyOyBhdXRvcGxheTsgY2xpcGJvYXJkLXdyaXRlOyBlbmNyeXB0ZWQtbWVkaWE7IGd5cm9zY29wZTsgcGljdHVyZS1pbi1waWN0dXJlOyB3ZWItc2hhcmUiIHJlZmVycmVycG9saWN5PSJzdHJpY3Qtb3JpZ2luLXdoZW4tY3Jvc3Mtb3JpZ2luIiBhbGxvd2Z1bGxzY3JlZW4+PC9pZnJhbWU+\"><div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-preset-c brlbs-cmpnt-cb-youtube\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-thumbnail\" style=\"background-image: url('https:\/\/musiknerd.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/borlabs-cookie\/1\/yt_3E-AB-TVT3M_hqdefault.jpg')\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-main\"> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-play-button\"><\/div> <div class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-content\"> <p class=\"brlbs-cmpnt-cb-description\">You are currently viewing a placeholder content from <strong>YouTube<\/strong>.
