His title Vanina is timeless and known to young and old alike. In addition to this song,Dave also has several classics in his discography. It is in particular thanks to these cult songs that the artist, now 79 years old, accumulated gold records between 1974 and 1979. Despite the success of his numerous hits such as Dance now, my heart is sick or Near Swannhis first Olympia in 1977, as well as his numerous invitations to television sets, the Dutch artist sparks debate.
Indeed, many media qualify it as “girl singer”. Our colleagues from Tele-Leisure
also wanted to ask him if it was “old-fashioned” to listen to him at the time. The opportunity for Dave
to make a hilarious revelation about Jane Birkin and Charlotte Gainsbourg. “I had done shows with Jane Birkin, who I really liked. And one day, she said to me: ‘Do you know that my daughter, Charlotte, is crazy about you?’ It was cute”he first recalled, happy that a child was listening to his songs.

However, Charlotte Gainsbourg did not seem to accept his childhood tastes. Indeed, Dave explained to our colleagues that his companion Patrick Loiseau relayed to him a hilarious confession from Jane Birkin’s daughter. Two years ago, she said in a broadcast: “I had a bad taste when I was little.” A confession that Dave did not take for him, aware despite everything that his repertoire was part of the “tastes” of Charlotte Gainsbourg in his childhood.
“It didn’t shock me, but I told myself that the day I met her, I would ask her the question. We narrowly missed the first time, at the Château-Marmont in Los Angeles. Then, finally, last year, I met her with her husband, on the occasion of Muriel Robin’s birthday in Saint-Rémy de Provence”he added to our colleagues before revealing: “And I said to him: ‘So, it seems that you had bad taste when you were little? Thank you!’ I saw her burst out laughing, so spontaneously that I found it really nice. In the end, we chatted with immediate complicity. I love this girl…” Finally, Dave was not hurt by the statement of Charlotte Gainsbourgquite the contrary.
