Michel Mallory signed in 1974 this suburban american ride“Le Cow-Boy d’Aubervilliers”. Humorous, quirky, the metro does not go to Nevada, terminus in Seine Saint Denis.
The character is well established, René works at Renault Billancourt, and every day in the workshop, he dreams of riding the great plains of the Far West. In Paris, fashion is becoming Americanized. All the young people wear jeans and cowboy boots. Michel Mallory in his Cow-boy d’Aubervilliers is riding the trend. Critic and journalist Philippe Manoeuvre explains.
But Michel Mallory, pretty face, beautiful voice, fooled by nothing and especially not the blinding lights of show biz prefer to compose for othersand there the list is stratospheric: Michel Sardou, Claude François, Mort Schuman, Jean Mason, Sylvie Vartan, Alice Dona, Raymond Poulidor, Mireille Mathieu Joe Dassin, Gérard Lenorman and of course Johnny Hallyday.
In the 70s, it was Johnny Hallyday who himself produces Michel Mallory’s records who, in return, writes and composes for the star. On the counter, Michel Mallory offers Johnny more than 170 songs including two hits: “All the music I love” and “The good times of rock and roll”.
Michael Mallory, the man of 1000 songs for the others and a single hit for him “Le cowboy d’Aubervilliers”, a nickname given to him by his friend Michel Sardou.
