'''Philippe Russo''' is a French singer-songwriter (born on 4 October 1961, Paris). He had a hit between 1986 and early 1987 in France with his single "Magie noire", devoted to the discothèques, which peaked at #10 on the SNEP Singles Chart.<ref>"Magie noire", French Singles Chart [http://lescharts.com/showitem.asp?key=240149&cat=s Lescharts.com] (Retrieved 13 October 2008)</ref> Then he published several singles until 1991, but they were unsuccessful and failed to reach the chart. Therefore, Russo can be deemed a one-hit wonder.<ref>Elia Habib, ''Muz hit. tubes'', p. 99 ({{ISBN|2-9518832-0-X}})</ref> He was the guitar of Marc Lavoine during this one's last concert tour.
