An avant-gardist with sense of daftness, his name resounded throughout the land since the track "E.V.A." was remixed by Fatboy Slim. At the age of 76 he released a new album. Nowadays he is known as one of the creators of pop music.
Perrey was born in France in 1929. He was studying medicine in Paris when he met George Jenny, inventor of the Ondioline. Quitting medical school, Perrey travelled through Europe demonstrating this keyboard ancestor of the modern synthesizer. At the age of 30, Perrey relocated to New York, sponsored by Caroll Bratman, who built him an experimental laboratory and recording studio. Here he invented "a new process for generating rhythms with sequences and loops", utilising the environmental sounds of "musique concrète." With scissors, splicing tape, and tape recorders, he spent weeks piecing together a uniquely comique take on the future. Befriending Robert Moog, he became one of the first Moog synth musicians, creating "far out electronic entertainment". In 1965 Perrey met Gershon Kingsley, a former colleague of John Cage. Together, using Ondioline and Perrey's loops, they created two albums for Vanguard — The In Sound From Way Out (1966) and Kaleidoscopic Vibrations (1967). Perrey and Kingsley collaborated on sound design for radio and television advertising. Perrey returned to France, composing for television, scoring for ballet and continuing medical research into therapeutic sounds for insomniacs.
The rap group Beastie Boys released an instrumental CD titled, as a tribute to Perrey & Kingsley, The In Sound From Way Out.
Most recently, Perrey had been collaborating with Seattle music/composer Dana Countryman, and they have released two CDs on Oglio Records, "The Happy Electropop Music Machine", and "Destination Space".
In 2010, his song "Chicken on the Rocks" was featured in an episode of "South Park".

Your Love
Jean-Jacques Perrey Lyrics
Ever since you came back around the way
I ain't tryin to be a player
So many things that I want to say
You know I got a little wiser
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I ain't got many friends I can talk to
No-one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I would do anything for you
We don't have to keep it under cover
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I ain't tryin to lose your love tonight
I just wanna make you feel alright
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I'm just hoping you could spend the night
Kiss you, love you, hold you tight
Ever since you came back around the way
I ain't tryin to be a player
So many things that I want to say
You know I got a little wiser
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
Ain't no need girl please close the door
And don't forget what I told you
I wanna do you right cause I did you wrong
Another shoulder to cry upon
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I ain't tryin to lose your love tonight
I just wanna make you feel alright
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I'm just hoping you could spend the night
Kiss you, love you, hold you tight
The way my heart beats for you
Mention of your name
One touch never enough
You drivin' me insane
Swing me take you back
Who am I to blame but myself
Need you in my life it's simple and plain
Crazy nights arguments
Running towards the door
Lying to myself, not wanting you no more
No matter what we been through
You're the man that I adore
You're the only one I need in this world, see
People used to tell me I was crazy
Told me not to give in
Told me that you would never love me
All I did is pretend
I told them mind their business
Cause they not in my position
When I said that I was in love
They said I was trippin
I cut the haters off and I got into my man
Cause I take him for all he is
And he takes me as I am
The way I feel about him
It was god's perfect plan
The only one I need and I'm his girl
So let me hear you say
Ever since you came back around the way
I ain't tryin to be a player
So many things that I want to say
You know I got a little wiser
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I ain't tryin to lose your love tonight
I just wanna make you feel alright
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I'm just hoping you could spend the night
Kiss you, love you, hold you tight
I ain't tryin to be a player
So many things that I want to say
You know I got a little wiser
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
I ain't got many friends I can talk to
No-one's around when I'm in trouble
You know I would do anything for you
We don't have to keep it under cover
I don't wanna lose your love tonight
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I ain't tryin to lose your love tonight
I just wanna make you feel alright
L-o-v-e y-o-u
I'm just hoping you could spend the night
Kiss you, love you, hold you tight
Ever since you came back around the way
