"I only discovered JJG 3 years ago and I adore his music. He is definitely an artist of unbelievable talent whose songs are really meaningful; indeed anyone can relate to "Pas Toi" or "La-Bas"...what a beautiful song. I think that what makes him so loved and admired in France is the fact that he is hardly ever present in the media, on tv for example. He is extremely discreet and always writes amazing songs. To me, he has gotten better and better over the years; the lyrics of his songs have become deeper in meaning; I'm thinking of "En Passant". He is currently I think, the best French artist and has been so for the past two decades, not only through the songs he writes and sings himself, but also through the songs he writes for other people such as C. Dion. My only regret is that his music is not played on the radio in the United States or Canada. What a shame ! If you are an English speaking person studying French or if you are just curious and you would like to hear the best French music, you should definitely listen to Jean-Jacques Goldman. Not only "Singulier", but also "En Passant" and the live album released in 1999. Enjoy."

A MUST-HAVE for anyone who enjoys wonderful French music

"Jean-Jacques Goldman has firmly established himself as one of the most talented and best regarded French artists. His story is amazing in itself. After leaving one of the prestigious and highly elitist Grandes Ecoles of France, he went on to prove to the world that he made the right decision. He has produced some of the best music I have ever heard. I am 20 years old now...definitely not a child of the 80's, and I still adore this music. He doesn't seem to be too popular in the US, but on a trip to france, I realized just how big a following he has in that country. This CD is great because it puts together most of his greatest hits from the 80's. I can listen to this album over and over and still sing: "Elle met du vieux pan sur son balcon..." It's a wonderful CD!"

The must-have anthology of JJG in the 80's.

"All your 80s favorite songs from JJG are here, a must-have for everyone who was a teenager at that time, and for their parents too. An outstanding album that will keep you singing."
