He was a promising pianist in his youth, and the piano became his instrument of choice. His first band, "The Dreamers" had minor success as a repertory jazz outfit, and was followed by a time in a typically sixties rock music group "Murator".
From 1968 until 1970, Alain recorded five singles without much success.
He met famed writer and producer Jacques Dutronc who proposed to accompany Chamfort on future works for television and film, and it is with Dutronc that Chamfort's career expanded. After being discovered by Dutronc, it was with Claude François and ultimately Serge Gainsbourg who will see leading of marvellous albums and the first album of Alain Chamfort: "Manureva". This song remains one of the most famous to date of Chamfort.

Le diable est une blonde
Alain Chamfort Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mais, ma belle comédienne, pour toi je plonge
C'est toi qui mens le mieux
J'ai quelques cicatrices, quelques blessures
J'suis capab' d'encaisser mais là, c'est sûr
C'est toi qui frappes le mieux
Dans ton genre mais qu'importe,
Pour moi tu es la seule au monde
Et si l'amour avec la haine finit pas se confondre
C'est toi qui me hais le mieux
J'ai cramé, j'ai subit des incendies
Mais toi tu sens le soufre, je te le dis
C'est toi qui brûle le mieux
J'ai pris des volées de coups sur le crâne
Mais je l'avoue, mon joli hooligan
C'est toi qui casses le mieux
Le diable est une blonde
Dans ton genre mais qu'importe
Pour moi tu es la seule au monde
Et si l'amour avec la haine finit par se confondre
C'est toi qui me hais le mieux
Je t'ai cherché des rivales
Aucune autre ne m'émeut
Même si tu me fais du mal
C'est toi qui le fais le mieux
J'ai survécu à de fameux duels
C'est toi, mon ange, mon accident mortel
C'est toi qui tue le mieux
Le diable est une blonde
Dans ton genre mais qu'importe
pour moi tu es la seule au monde
Et si l'amour avec la haine finit par se confondre
C'est toi qui me hais le mieux
Même si tu me fais du mal
C'est toi qui le fais le mieux
