🕊️ In memoriam – Claude François
1 February 1939 — 11 March 1978

🎤 French pop superstar Claude François was one of the most influential entertainers in France during the 1960s–70s. Singer, songwriter and producer, he is best known for Comme d’habitude, later adapted as “My Way”. Born in Ismailia, Egypt, he died in Paris at 39, leaving a lasting mark on French pop music and stage performance.

Just realized these two songs are the same music with different lyrics. Is there a third (first?) source?

Not saying an African-French group wouldn't cover a KPop song from 10 years before, just I would be surprised since KPop was not yet a worldwide phenomenon; thinking that happened in the 2010s.

Aujourd'hui je vous emmène dans l'univers d’Anne Paceo. De Niort. Elle a des affinités émotionnelles avec l'eau, cette eau extrêmement présente autour de la Sèvre à l'ouest de son fief dans le marais Poitevin.
À 10 ans, elle débute la batterie, et elle ne cessera d'exercer son don pour la rythmique jusqu'à aujourd'hui après avoir été formée et ressortie avec mention très bien du CNSM de Paris.
Sa musique est d'une sensibilité folle et d'une énergie abondante et débordante et a un côté exubérant comme les fanfares de Meute et une subtilité dans le texte et les leads électroniques comme peut le faire Émilie Simon.

Self-Titled Summer | Françoise Hardy (1971, France)

Our next spotlight on a Fedi-recommended self-titled album is on number 119 on The List, submitted by arratoon. By the time this album came out, Hardy was firmly ensconced as a key figure in France’s yé-yé phenomenon and as an international star, with nearly half of her 14 albums in other languages. Though Hardy had already begun to move away from the whole yé-yé sound and image, this s/t departs further, with most of the bossa nova-tinged music composed by the Brazilian guitarist known as Tuca. Both women were going through it at the time, and their collaboration created something beautiful and honest out of their pain.
