Very sorry to hear that he has gone - had no idea he was 71. |

I was suprised to learn, during a recent television interview, that he was a renowned (in France) jazz guitarist and a successful songwriter. His most notable songwriting success being "The Good Life" adopted by Tony Bennett. His death is something of a suprise, not least because he was so youthful looking. Hard to believe he was 71 and yet he seems to have been on TV for as long as I can remember, without ever seeming to age. C-flat. |

Hum la belle vie On est seul On est libre Es l'on s'ame. On s'amuse à passer avex tous ses copains Des nuits blanches Qui se penchent Sur les petits matins. Mais la belle vie Sans amour Sans soucis Sans problème. Oui la belle vie On s'enlace On est triste Et l'on traîne. Alors pense que moi je t'aime Et quand tu auras compris Réveille-toi Je serai là Pour toi. Words Jean Broussole. Music Sacha Distel |
