Stephen Stills Ex-Wife: Meet Véronique Sanson

Véronique Marie Line Sanson is a three-time Victoires de la Musique award-winning French singer-songwriter and record producer with a devoted fan base in her homeland.

She is the ex-wife of Stephen Stills of Buffalo Springfield and Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, an American musician and multi-instrumentalist.

They were married from 1973 to 1979. They have a son together Chris Stills, who is also a musician.

With her debut album Amoureuse in 1972, Véronique Sanson became one of the first French female singer-songwriters to achieve stardom.

She also became one of the most successful and well-known members of the “Nouvelle chanson française” movement of the 1970s (“New French chanson”).

One of her songs, “Amoureuse,” was covered in English by singer Kiki Dee in 1973 and became a major hit in the United Kingdom.

It has since been covered by a variety of other singers, including Polly Brown (1973), Olivia Newton-John (1974), Pete Townshend (1974), Linda Martin (1996), and Amanda Abbs with Illusive (1997).
