Happy days, Julien Clerc

Fourteen songs, all immortal, it says. Since they are immortal, we deduce, not particularly threatened with disappearing into the great hole of oblivion. Why revive those, Julien? These are “his preferences to him”, he repeated everywhere in recent days. Very good. The fact remains that he has preferences on the surface of catalogs. In his discotheque, aren’t there integrals? There must be a way to get back to Barbara without going through When will you come back ? From Piaf, we get my merry-go-round to me, the umpteenth round. De Brel, Julien spares us Do not leave mecorn The Thousand Time Waltz, really ? A multiple more? From Bécaud, from the whole Bécaud range? The Rose is the important part. Of course he sings them all very nicely, tremolo intact: it’s the least of politeness. The interpreter nevertheless misses the opportunity, which was beautiful: to discover neglected marvels, to search Ferré, to walk at Montand otherwise thanA bicycle… Pity.
