He began his career in the late 1950s, with the group Les Chaussettes Noires (The Black Socks), taking his name from the American expatriate tough-guy actor Eddie Constantine (later the star of Jean-Luc Godard's Alphaville). The band performed at the Parisian nightclub Le Golf Drouot before signing to Barclay Records and finding almost instant success; in 1961 it sold two million records.

Heavily influenced by American rock & roll, Mitchell (who went solo in 1963) has often recorded outside France, at first in London, but later in Memphis and Nashville, Tennessee. Guitarist Jimmy Page and drummer Bob Graham were among the British session musicians who regularly supported him in London.

Eddy Mitchell Lyrics

Welcome to Hollywood, my name is Erin Seen from the Capitol Recording Studios
And you are listening to the strings recorded in the world-famous Studio A
And arranged by mister Alan Broadbent
So now, lucky people, sit back and relax
To the vocals of Eddy Mitchell and the crystal sounds of the strings
