Marcel Dadi (1951-1996) is termed "the Chet Atkins of France."
He was known as one of the world's premier fingerstyle guitarists. He
performed and recorded with Steve Morris, Albert Lee, Chet Atkins, Larry
Coryell, and many others. During his career he released nearly 20 albums
and was the organizer of the European equivalent of Nashville's Chet
Atkins Appreciation Society. He was an expert on the guitar styles of
Merle Travis, Doc Watson, Jerry Reed and Chet Atkins. His personal
fingerpicking style incorporated influences from all four of these great
guitarists.
Marcel was born in Tunisia and grew up in Paris. He played on stage for
the first time at age 12 and was influenced by the English rock scene of
the '60s. Bernard Photzer introduced Dadi to country licks, the rudiments
of rock, and the repertoire of Elvis. At the age of 13 a neighbor, Bernard
Laux, introduced Marcel to the music of Chet Atkins. Marcel took to Chet's
music with a passion and learned many of his songs from recordings.
Performing at the age of 19, Dadi introduced the fingerpicking style to
appreciative French audiences. He began writing columns for popular music
magazines and was a champion of Chet Atkins' music. In 1973 Dadi met Chet
Atkins and they performed together in 1977 at the Olympia theater in
Paris. Through his broad influence Marcel furthered the cause of
fingerstyle guitar throughout the world. His tragic death left his wife,
two sons, and a daughter.
