You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 44.214.0.0/16 has been blocked by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 16:45, 10 January 2025. Your current IP address is 44.214.4.121.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Maritie''' (12 December  1922 &ndash; 23 November 2002) and '''Gilbert''' (20 March  1920 &ndash; 18 September  2000) '''Carpentier''', a married couple, were artistic producers of very popular variety TV and radio shows in France and in many [[Geographical distribution of French speakers|French-speaking countries]], from the 1950s to the 1990s.

== Biography ==
=== Family and studies ===
Gilbert Carpentier, born in 1920, was the grandson of the French inventor [[Jules Carpentier]] (manufacturer, with the [[Lumière brothers]], of the first [[cinematographe]] device) and the French acoustician [[Gustave Lyon]]. An alumnus of the [[Conservatoire de Paris|Conservatoire de Paris music school]], he was a pianist, organist and composer.

=== Radio ===
Just after [[World War II]], Gilbert Carpentier started working at the French radio [[Radio Luxembourg (French)|Radio-Luxembourg]] (which will later become [[RTL (French radio)|RTL]]) as an organ player, then as a radio technician. From 1946, he started to compose musical illustrations, then, with the help of his wife Maritie who wrote the texts, started to produce radio soaps. From the 1950s, Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier directed six popular shows radio shows on Radio-Luxembourg: "L’heure musicale", "Le Club des Vedettes", (presented by [[Maurice Biraud]]), "Musique à la Clay" (presented by [[Philippe Clay]]), "Les contes de l’aigle", "L’heure exquise" (presented by Anne-Marie Carrière) and "Le miroir aux Etoiles", hosted every Sunday by a different artist.

=== Music ===
In 1957, they created a series of [[Babar the Elephant|Babar]] records for children. Maritie Carpentier adapted the writings from [[Jean de Brunhoff]] while Gilbert Carpentier composed the musics. Those records were awarded the [[Grand Prix du Disque]] prize in 1957 from the [[L'Académie Charles Cros|Académie Charles Cros]], the French equivalent of the US [[The Recording Academy|Recording Academy]].

=== TV ===
Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier are mostly famous for being pioneers of variety TV shows in France. From 1960, after a proposal from the French main public TV channel [[ORTF]], they started working for the TV. They first created numerous TV shows with their friends [[Roger Pierre]] and [[Jean-Marc Thibault]], broadcast [[Live television|live]] on the [[ORTF]]. Later on, others artists joined, including [[Jean Poiret]], [[Michel Serrault]], [[Jacqueline Maillan]] or [[Jean-Claude Brialy]].

In 1965, they asked [[Serge Gainsbourg]] to write a song to represent [[Luxembourg]] at the [[Eurovision Song Contest]]. Gainsbourg wrote ''[[Poupée de cire, poupée de son]]'' for the upcoming young French singer [[France Gall]]. The song won the contest and quickly became a world hit. 

Until the 1980s and especially in the 1970s, they created and directed several of variety TV shows in France, being influential in making some French artists very popular in [[Geographical distribution of French speakers|French-speaking countries]], such as [[Charles Aznavour]], [[Gilbert Bécaud]], [[Jane Birkin]], [[Georges Brassens]], [[Petula Clark]], [[Dalida]], [[Joe Dassin]], [[Sacha Distel]], [[Jacques Dutronc]], [[Claude François]], [[Serge Gainsbourg]], [[France Gall]], [[Chantal Goya]], [[Johnny Hallyday]], [[Serge Lama]], [[Thierry Le Luron]], [[Mireille Mathieu]], [[Eddy Mitchell]], [[Nana Mouskouri]], [[Michel Sardou]], [[Sheila (French singer)|Sheila]], [[Alain Souchon]], and [[Sylvie Vartan]], among others.

Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier's TV shows are easy to recognize by their unexpected duets of artists, by the actors singing and singers acting, by the creation of different sceneries each week, or even by the scripting of their shows. Also, Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier's TV shows were often [[Live television|broadcast live]] and did not include artists' promotional content.
For most of them, since their beginnings in radio and until the 1980s, their shows were recorded in the mythic ''studio 17'' of the [[Buttes-Chaumont Studios]] in Paris.

Some of their shows, the ''"Top à..."'' and ''"Numéro 1"'' series in particular, had an audience of 15 million viewers each week, and were being shown in 20 French-speaking countries.

Gilbert Carpentier was in charge of the technical part and the sceneries, while his wife Maritie Carpentier, sometimes nicknamed ''"la nounou des artistes"'' ("the artists' nanny"), was dealing with the artistic part.

In 1980, Maritie and Gilbert Carpentier won an [[Emmy Award]] for the best foreign TV show.
