3. Gipsy Kings Gipsy Kings is a French music group from Arles and Montpellier, France. Although group members were born in France, their parents were mostly gitanos, Spanish Romani people who fled Catalonia during the 1930s Spanish Civil War, with the exception of Chico Bouchikhi who is of Algerian and Moroccan descent. They are known for bringing Rumba Catalana, a pop- oriented version of traditional flamenco music, to worldwide audiences. Their music has a particular Rumba Flamenca style, with pop influences; many songs of the Gipsy Kings fit social dances, such as Salsa and Rumba. Their music has been described as a place where "Spanish flamenco and Romani rhapsody meet salsa funk".

4. They became popular with their self-titled first album, Gipsy Kings, which included the songs "Djobi Djoba" "Bamboleo" and the romantic ballad "Un Amor". The song "Volare" on their fourth album Mosaïque is a rumba version of Domenico Modugno's Italian hit "Nel Blu Dipinto Di Blu". The Gipsy Kings were enormously popular in France and throughout Europe, as well as in the Middle East. In 1989, Gipsy Kings was released in the United States and it spent 40 weeks on the charts, one of very few Spanish language albums to do so.

5. Lead guitarist Tonino Baliardo — who has always written the group's instrumentals — released his first solo album, Essences, in 2001; a second self-titled one followed in 2003. Flamenco purists criticized their use of drum kits, electronic bass, and electronic keyboards and rock and reggae beats. Defenders say they helped create a new style. Gipsy Kings played a live session at Abbey Road Studios for Live from Abbey Road in the summer of 2006. The episode also included performances by Natasha Bedingfield and Iron Maiden and aired on the Sundance Channel in the USA and on Channel 4 in the UK. Gipsy Kings' total album sales worldwide now exceed 18 million; they toured worldwide again in 2007. They are the world's best-selling music group from France in history, according to their website, where dates and places of their current tour can be found.

7. Joseph Ira Dassin (November 5, 1938 – August 20, 1980), more commonly known as Joe Dassin, was a French/American singer-songwriter. Joe was born in New York City. He spent his childhood first in New York City and Los Angeles. However, after his father fell victim to the blacklist in 1950, he and his family moved from place to place across Europe. After studying at the International School of Geneva and the University in Switzerland, Dassin moved back to the United States to go to the University, where he studied medicine and anthropology. In his free time he worked as a radio DJ and began singing folk songs. After returning to France Dassin had some low-level jobs in the film industry and he also played a few small parts in his father’s movies. Soon Joe Dassin made a demo recording and the label made him its first French singer. His first and popular song was ‘’ Freight Train “ – with additional lyrics by Jean Marie. Dassin had intended to give the song to another singer, but recorded it himself. His deep, charismatic voice and good look made him highly popular with female audience. Joe Dassin was one of the most popular singers during the late 60s and 70s. His songs were on the top of the charts in France and he had become very well-known in that country. On 20th of August in 1980, while dining in a restaurant, he suffered from his final fatal heart attack. He was only 42 years old. His body is interred in the Beth Olen Mausoleum Section of Hollywood.
