In 1965 Polnareff won a prize in Paris of recording at Barclay Records, but as part of the counterculture he turned down this opportunity.
It was Lucien Morisse, then director at Europe 1, who made him sign with AZ.
His first disc, La Poupée qui fait non (1966), was an unexpected success.
Its new musical style and Polnareff's atypical image, crossed borders.
During this period, he played concerts in Brussels for one week sharing the bill with Jeff Beck.
