Isidore Soucy (1899-1963) was a fiddler and composer, born in Ste-Blandine, Quebec. In his teens he was the best fiddler in his hometown, and moved to Montreal in 1924. He worked for the city until 1926, when he first recorded for Starr. Soucy started his radio career in Montreal on CKAC in the 1920s, and in the 1930s was heard on many radio shows as the leader or member of les Vive-la-joie (the ‘Revellers’), the Famille Soucy and the Trio Soucy (the latter two including Soucy’s son Fernando [1927-1975]). The Famille Soucy, completed by Isidore Soucy’s wife, Laura, and their other children Fernando, Thérèse, Eugène, and Marie-Ange, had great success with their 78-rpm recordings for RCA of ‘Des fraises et des framboises’ in 1949 and ‘Prendre un verre de bière, mon minou’ in 1950, the latter selling more than 100,000 copies, an exceptional figure for the day. The family performed in Montreal nightclubs, had a nightly program in 1956 on CKVL Verdun, and made its TV debut on NBC while touring in the US. The Trio Soucy (Isidore, Fernando, and the accordionist René Alain), formed in 1949, also worked in Montreal nightclubs and recorded for RCA. After Isidore’s death, Fernando continued to perform. He led the Famille Soucy in concert at Expo 67. Isidore Soucy is reported to have made some 1200 recordings. Besides 78s for Starr, Columbia and Bluebird, LPs of reissued and new material were released under his own name and that of the Famille Soucy by Dominion, Gala, and MCA.
