Ik heb juist een prachtige documentaire gezien op de Belgische televisie over de artistieke en sentimentele relatie tussen France Gall en Michel Berger. Ik vraag mij af, zijn beiden een beetje bekend in Nederland?

Poupée de cire, poupée de son is wel de bekendste hit van haar in Nederland. Daarna volgde nog 2 kleine hitjes.

Ze was amper 18 jaar toen ze dat zong. Geen relatie met de muziek die ze vanaf 1974 met Michel Berger maakte tot zijn plotse overlijden in 1992. Je moet eens checken, Franse pop op z’n best.

Maybe you know this ‘techno’ cover of the France Gall song ‘Babacar’ by Flemish singer Kate Ryan (I prefer the original). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77jVkTUwToM

France Gall mentions Toto (!) in this song (at 2:58). Only song I know where the band is mentioned! The ‘Mexican’ background singers are Michel Berger, Alain Chamfort (both worked with Toto guys) and Belgian singer Lio (of ‘Banana Split’ fame). https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wrp8hHrzMmo

Really enjoyed “Une Nuit A Paris”. I like the quick yodel-like break that she does with her voice, in the song. Sweet voice. She reminds me a bit, of the singer in The Asteroids Galaxy Tour.
