Paris, je t'aime

Description

Discover two new vinyls from the SAGA collection: 'Paris je t'aime' and 'Twist à St Tropez'. . Paris Je T'aime: The bohemian and romantic atmosphere of the streets of Paris, with its small and great stories, has inspired many authors and performers of French song. In this enchanted Paris, Charles Trenet nostalgically remembers the 'Ménilmontant' district, while Serge Gainsbourg takes refuge underground with the 'Poinçonneur des Lilas'. Edith Piaf sang of her lovers, Charles Aznavour of his month of May, Jacques Brel of his first names, Jacqueline François of her Mademoiselle, and Zizi Jeanmaire of her bridges. But among the most beautiful declarations addressed to the City of Light, Léo Ferré's 'Paname', Juliette Gréco's 'Sous Le ciel de Paris', and Yves Montand's 'À Paris' are no less essential. . Twist à St Tropez: In the early 1960s, a new musical trend swept both sides of the Atlantic: the twist. This rock'n'roll derivative, accompanied by its dance of the same name, quickly arrived on our shores. In France, the movement had its epicenter in Saint-Tropez, mentioned in the famous 'Twist à Saint-Tropez' by Dick Rivers and his Chats Sauvages. Yéyés and rockeurs of French variety also rode the twist wave: Johnny Hallyday 'Danse le twist avec moi', Claude François 'Ali Baba Twist', Les Chaussettes Noires, Dalida "Achète-moi un juke-box", and Danyel Gérard 'Le Petit Gonzales' offered their faithful adaptations, while Brigitte Bardot, the future resident of La Madrague, writhed to the sound of 'L'Appareil à sous'. Let’s twist again!
