More than 25 years after the end of his famous Dorothée Club, its presenter remains in the memory of adults but also children. This is because the host has left such a mark on her time that those who have now become parents perpetuate the cult despite the extreme discretion that the host has shown for years.
Dorothée has been keeping a more than respectable distance from the media for a very long time, in particular from television sets but also from the concert halls that she filled while snapping her fingers. Frédérique Hoschedé, her real name, had decided to continue her merry way and her life away from the spotlight, in her house in Normandy. “Although I often receive invitations, I don’t want to do television for the sake of doing television. I really have to like it or be able to defend a cause. It has to be useful.”

Clearly, one project has hit the mark. During its back-to-school press conference, TF1 announced that a tribute evening to Dorothée will be broadcast on the channel. It will be in prime time, of course. And Nikos Aliagas will be presenting it.

The program will retrace the career of the host via archive images and unpublished content, explains the Chartsinfrance site. And guests, of course.
Better yet, fans will be delighted to learn that Dorothée has also taken up the microphone again. She has recorded a new song. This information dates back almost a year. It was once again Jean-Luc Azoulay who congratulated himself on having managed to convince Dorothée to record. It was on the set of At Jordan’s. “My dream, and I fight with her, is to make her sing again. She tells me: ‘Jean-Luc, I’m past the age’, he explained before confiding I managed to get him to record a song. It’s modernized, we’re no longer in the 90s. […] She still sings very well, it’s still so touching. […] Only eleven are missing.”
