	Telegraph \| News \| Sacha Distel
		Sacha Distel, who died yesterday aged 71, only had one hit single in Britain, but he enjoyed a standing in popular culture out of all proportion to that slender success; for many Englishwomen he epitomised French charm, sophistication and tanned good looks, while for their husbands he embodied all they feared about the Gallic race.
		Distel insisted that he had only been giving her a lift (of 150 miles), but Nobel, who spent a month in a coma and subsequently became a wheelchair-bound recluse, hinted darkly that there was more to it than that.
		Sacha Distel was appointed to the Legion d'honneur in 1997.
