So we were with Julien Clerc, who was sitting at his piano. As you know, he composes on the piano and on the piano only. When he prepares a model for an arranger, before recording an album, it is only by singing accompanied on his own piano. Obviously, we want to know how his big hits started, in what form they were born. For instance, If we sang.

In this episode of behind our voicesyou hear excerpts from:

In July and August 2017, we spent A Summer in Souchon, during which Alain Souchon guided us on a tasty walk through a lifetime of love for song.
