Vline Buggy, a celebrated French lyricist known for her work with artists like Claude François, Herbert Léonard, and Hugues Aufray, has passed away at the age of 97. The news was shared by presenter Julien Lepers on Sunday, who said Vline died during the night of Friday to Saturday. Her daughter informed Lepers of her death. Lepers, who had worked with Vline Buggy for twenty years, called her "the greatest lyricist in France" and expressed deep sorrow over her passing. Vline Buggy co-wrote the hit song Belles! Belles! Belles! in 1962, which helped launch the career of Claude François. The song was an adaptation of Girls Girls Girls (Made to Love) by the Everly Brothers. Her partnership with François was highly successful, producing over 70 songs, including Si j'avais un marteau, and it continued throughout his career until his sudden death in 1978. Hugues Aufray, another longtime collaborator, paid tribute to Vline Buggy, saying she played a crucial role in his early career and that he was losing the person with whom he began. He recalled that for the song Céline, the loss of her younger sister and his brother inspired their creative process. The song combined their shared grief into a powerful piece of music. Vline Buggy, whose real name was Liliane Konyn, wrote lyrics for many notable French artists, including Johnny Hallyday, Michel Sardou, Hervé Vilard, France Gall, Dalida, Juliette Gréco, and Régine. She was the daughter of lyricist Géo Koger, who wrote for music hall stars in the 1920s and 1930s, such as Joséphine Baker and Tino Rossi. She adopted the pseudonym Vline Buggy to honor her sister Évelyne Yvonne Konyn, known as Vline, with whom she started her lyricist career and who died in 1962. Hugues Aufray once described her as indispensable when music seeks words, emphasizing her unique talent. She was awarded the insignia of Chevalier des Arts et Lettres in 2018, recognizing her contributions to French culture.
