I spent my junior year abroad in Paris in 1985-1986, and you couldn't go anywhere without seeing or hearing Jean-Jacques Goldman. I still love it. I wasn't crazy about him at first, but he sort of grew on me. I loved that song.
Beautiful. His style is unique; we really don't have anyone like him in the US. Singulier has all of his best stuff on it. His earlier stuff is more pop, later stuff is more accoustic. Besides PAS TOI, I love PUISQUE TU PART. That was definitely HIS year.
His music and style remind me so much of Paris. Romantic, poetic. Then PAS TOI came out. After I returned to the US, I liked him enough to keep track of anything of his that came out.ENTRE GRIS CLAIR.I loved it.
This album serves as a general look at his beginnings as a solo artist. There are very few less-than-excellent tracks on this masterpiece. Jean Jacques Goldman's work is truly legendary, both as a writer and a singer. There's very little I can say about this album to be honest. I would recommend this whole-heartedly. 4 years after I purchased this 2-CD set, I still listen to it religiously. It's completely changed my perspective on music in general, and French music in particular. My favorite songs include "La-Bas", "Puisque Tu Pars", "Filles Faciles", "Comme Toi", and "Envole Moi".
Jean-Jacques ROCKS (no pun intended) Sublime lyrics and beatiful melodies. This compilation is simply Jean Jacques Goldman at his best. but every time you think you've heard his best yet, he outdoes himself.
especially "Puisque tu pars," which is my all time favorite song. now. I have always loved Jean Jacques Goldman's music. get yours today. go. He is amazing and the lyrics of all of his songs are extremely profound. This compilation is one of the best, I can listen to it over and over again without ever getting bored.
Also look out for "Envole Moi", which has the classic chorus: "I may be gay, but I came here to play." Now that I have this CD, I don't think I'll listen to anything else. In case you've been under a rock for the past 20 years, Jean-Jaques Goldman is the King of French Rock 'n' Roll. I love that guy. Well, maybe a little Michael Bolton. This album is a collection of his favorite hits from the 81-89 glory days. My personal favorite is "comme toi", which is live on this CD.
