(France 2)
Every day, the 13 Heures tells you about a song that smells of summer, sun and the sea. Friday, July 19, the title “Les vacances au bord de la mer” by Michel Jonasz, released in 1975, is in the spotlight. A ballad that tells of universal holidays, often modest but nevertheless happy.
In 1975, Michel Jonasz sang his title Holidays by the sea. It is first and foremost a family song. It is also the story of universal holidays, holidays that are often modest and yet happy. A song that, ultimately, brings together all our beach photos. In 1975, Michel Jonasz also signed Change everythingwhich is a success. It is also the title of his second album, which only has 11 songs.
To finish it, a twelfth is needed, which will soon be Holidays by the sea. The lyricist Pierre Grosz is therefore urgently recalled to his holiday resort on the Côte d’Azur. These almost personal words written by the author will immediately touch Michel Jonasz. The ballad immediately finds its audience, to the point that this complementary song becomes the showcase for the new album. Next fall, Michel Jonasz will re-release his great songs in a soul version. But Holidays by the sea will not appear there, due to lack of suitable orchestration.
