History
French songwriter Albert Bossy was born in Marseille, and many of his songs reflect his Midi origins, among them, “La Fille du Pescadou” and “Sur Le Pont Transbordeur.” He both composed and wrote the lyrics for many of his songs. He also wrote the scenario for the film “La Mystère Saint-Val," which starred the comedian Fernandel. The Bibliothèque National de France holds records for 125 works that credit Bossy.
