Today 1978 Jacques Brel died
Jacques Brel was born 1929_april_08 and he died today 1978, so 29 years ago.
The quality and style of his lyrics are highly regarded by many leading critics of popular music.
Brel's songs are not especially well known in the English-speaking world except through the translations and interpretations of other singers, most famously by Scott Walker and by David Bowie.
First a Youtube video Jacques Brel Ne me quitte pas (1959 with English subtitles).
And at the right an even better one but without the English subtitles.
Yeah, that's real music made over 40 years ago !!! What the f*ck with the socalled 'artists' nowadays with their computerised music.....
Tomorrow my friend Guillaume goes to France for a two week holiday and that is a good opportunity to give a listen to this great (mostly) French singing Belgian musician.
So today I offer ya a great 1961 live concert Jacques Brel at l'Olympia.
Beautiful familiar songs like Les Bourgeois, Les Flamandes, Marieke, Madeleine, La Valse À Mille Temps, Le Moribond and of course his famous Ne Me Quitte Pas.
As usual the comment is the place to get further info.
Bon vacances Guillaume !
