YET ANOTHER ONE

"In 1995,there were 4 greatest hits cds released with some different list of songs.This one has TANTES JEANNE and ROSY AND JOHN from the early sixties;those two are delightful;LES CROIX is among his first recordings,but this version is not the 1954 original,but a good rerecording.As usual,his three lyric writers(AMADE,DELANOE and VIDALIN)are represented ,with each a few songs.When you know them well,you can recognize their style.AMADE is the serious poet;DELANOE is the craftsman;and VIDALIN is all fantasy and humour.The three of them actually makes GILBERT BÉCAUD what he became through the years."
A Bridge Over Two Worlds

"Becaud's music becomes a bridge over two worlds (fracofone and anglofone), now that he no longer is among us. In the same time, it is a bridge over time. Some Americans can have French nostalgias and travel up to Quebec City to find Becaud, among others. That's why is easier and useful to buy this CD: to travel through space and time a click away."
