Biography

Carlos (born Jean-Chrysostome Dolto; February 20, 1943 – January 17, 2008) was a French singer, entertainer and actor. He is sometimes called Jean-Christophe Doltovitch.

Jean-Chrysostome Dolto is the son of the psychoanalyst and pediatrician Françoise Dolto (née Marette) (1908–1988) and the physiotherapist Boris Dolto (1899–1981), of a Russian origin.

Carlos was heavily overweight and cultivated a jovial countenance, and adopted a look similar to the singer Antoine, with leis and Hawaiian shirts. In 1980, he became a spokesman for the Oasis brand fruit drink, with his song “Rosalie” (a cover of Georges Plonquitte, singer for Typical Combo, a Guadeloupean group) being used in their television advertisements.
