'''Claude Dhotel''' (born 21 December 1946 in Paris, France; died 14 March 2000), better known by his stage name '''C. Jérôme''', was a French singer.

==Biography==
Raised by his grandparents, he grew up in [[Champenoux]], a village of [[Meurthe-et-Moselle]] near [[Nancy, France]]. At 16 he starred in "The Storms", a rock'n'roll band. He then tried his luck in Paris where he attended the [[Golf-Drouot]] to mix with personalities of the music world. He finally met [[Jean-François Maurice|Jean Albertini]] who became his producteur.

==Career==
Claude Dhotel had a musical career of three decades, selling 26 million records; he was particularly popular in the 1970s.

In 1967, Dhotel recorded his first 45 rpm vinyl disc ''Les Fiancés'', under the pseudonym C.Jérôme. This first shot did not reach success, unlike ''Le petit Chaperon rouge'' est mort, and ''Quand la mer se retire'' that he sang on the TV show "Salut les copains".

In 1972, Jérôme's first big hit ''Kiss Me'' reached 1st place in the French music charts, 3rd in Austria, 4th in Belgium, and 5th in Switzerland. More than a million copies have been sold.

In 1974, C. Jérôme's song ''C’est moi'' became a huge success. This one will stay in the collective memory.

Jérôme sang other hits until 1977 ''Himalaya, Manhattan, La Petite Fille 73, C'est moi, Baby Boy, Cindy, Le Charme français, Rétro c'est trop''...).

In 1985, C. Jérôme released ''Et tu danses avec lui'' (written by Dider Barbelivien) which remained more than 6 months in the top 50.

In 1986, Jérôme's song ''Dernier Baisers'' was his last being in the top charts. The same year he also took part in the collective song ''Liban''.

C. Jérôme then wrote other classic songs in the 90s, such as ''Danielle s’en va, Les manons de la Nuit, Pardonne moi, A pleins tubes'', and many more.

== Career on TV and radio ==

In 1995, C. Jérôme became host of radio Monte-Carlo where he introduced "Les années tubes" every morning with Claire Cardell. In 1996, he got a job at TF1 (national TV in France) where he presented a daily show called "La chanson trésor". He also joined Michel Drucker in the TV show "Vivement Dimanche".

== Private life and death ==

C.Jérôme married Annette Dhôtel, with whom he had a daughter Caroline, born in 1977. She became a singing teacher.

In August 1997, C.Jérôme was treated for a tumor in the abdomen (cancer). He overcame the disease and recorded other songs, but the cancer returned in 1999.


In 1972, Jérôme's first big hit ''[[Kiss Me (C. Jérôme song)|Kiss Me]]'' reached number 1 place in the French music charts, 3 in Austria, 4th in Belgium, and 5 in Switzerland.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://artisteschartsventes.blogspot.com/2016/11/cjerome.html|title = World singles charts and sales TOP 50 in 58 countries: C.JEROME|date = 22 November 2016}}</ref> More than a million copies have been sold.{{Citation needed|date=March 2024}}
