With the album Lare Barbarians in 1976, the career of Bernard Lavilliers, then 30 years old, took off. This October 7, 2022, the day of his 76th birthday, he can boast of a magnificent career, he who was looking for himself as a teenager between the “professions” of gangster, boxer or poet. One of the highlights of his career is certainly the 1980s, a period of glory. It was also at this time that the singer-songwriter crossed paths with an exceptional woman, Lisa Lyon, a bodybuilder.
In the album night of love released in 1981, Bernard Lavilliers recounts his new life in Los Angeles and in particular his meeting with Lisa Lyon, who will become his wife. If one could find the French artist muscular, it is nothing next to the one with whom he married. An expert in weightlifting, she competed in the International Bodybuilding Federation’s Los Angeles Pro Women’s Bodybuilding World Championship in June 1979 and then promoted women’s bodybuilding on television and in magazines. She will pose in particular for a magazine, but not really specialized in sport: Playboy. It must be said that she knows how to highlight her sculptural figure in a sensual way, as shown in the video below.
