En décembre 85 , Balavoine suit le Paris Dakar il est à Bruxelles pour la présentation des participants belge . mon associé en affaires était aussi le gérant du plus grand manège de la zone bxl , avant de rentrer vers Paris , Balavoine , Sabine , Ickx , Brasseur viennent au club house pour manger , ce lieu était fréquenté par les fans de chevaux mais aussi des voitures . mon associé m'appelle , pour prendre un verre et me présente à cette troupe , c'est du lourd ! Immédiatement Balavoine m'explique ses projets d'irrigation en Afrique il part avec des camions pour lliuvrer des pompes à eau pour créer des puits ! trois semaine après un hélico se crash Sabine Balavoine sont morts .....depuis je pleure à l'écoute de cette voix et je garde un souvenir superbe des deux heures de conversation que j'ai eue avec lui ! un êtrte généreux et tellement sensible ! un grand homme !

RIP

[@jdims651]

Mais j'ai appris qu'ils auraient été assassinés, et que l'accident aurait été maquillé, ..parceque Daniel aurait découvert que la France opérait un trafic d'armes sous couvert du Paris Dakar, et les services secrets ayant su qu'il a découvert cela, l'auraient tué avec les autres. En tant que croyant, je dis : "on saura cela au Jour Dernier, si c'était le cas, c'est Daniel et les autres qui étaient avec lui dans l'hélicoptère, qui se lèveront, ressuscités, (tout comme nous), et leurs assassins seront présentés devant eux".

[@cmoiden37]

hi from france. For us French, it is very important that a guy listens to the songs with an outside ear without knowing the past of this singer, which proves his talent and not the love that we have for him. was a thunderclap. He was a humanist who died in full glory. a special program has been devoted to him and the presenter after his song which makes him known "the singer" sita his last words of this song "I want to die unhappy so as not to regret anything" then say "I hope he died happy. can. a while later it is coluche who kills himself on a motorbike but that's another story. 2 humanists died the same year

Indeed, Daniel Balavoine is a monument❤

[@TheShinigamiRaito]

A song he wrote to protest against the rising of far right in France in the middle of 80's. It is also a tribute to his wife who was a jewish marrocan. His fight for human dignity and against poverty and hunger in the world, mostly in Somalia, make him a symbol for all of us. We miss him, he's gone too soon...

[@stefblt5771]

He was a good man, fighting against racism, poverty and injustice. His wife was from Marocco. They had a son, Jérémie, born in 1984. Daniel wrote the song "Dieu que c'est beau" (God, how beautiful it it) after the birth of his son. Jérémie was only 2 when Daniel died and his wife was pregnant with their second child, a girl, Joana (born 5 months after her father's death). Both of his children are musicians.

[@TRISTANA2210]

J'aimerais savoir si d'autres personnes pleurent en l'écoutant, moi c'est la fontaine. Quant à sa voix, j'ai su après qu'elle avait été très critiquée lorsqu'il est arrivé dans les années 1970 car c'était le seul à chanter avec cette voix si particulière. On a fait des allusions idiotes dont vous vous douterez. Merci pour la réaction...

[@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391]

Je pense tout comme vous. J'ai regardé beaucoup de documentaires dont le dernier dernièrement à la TV qui aurait dû être diffusé en janvier dernier mais repoussé à cause d'un événement. Oui sa voix "particulière" lui a valu beaucoup de railleries, c'était quelqu'un d'à part. Il a fini par percer à la fin des années 70's et en étant choisi pour la célèbre comédie musicale que l'on connaît. Mais ce sont des gens comme lui, qui sortent du lot ou qui ont une voix qui sort de l'ordinaire qui en général réussissent. De plus encore au début des 70's, le seul chanteur qui y a cru et qui recherchait une "doublure" vocale était le regretté Patrick Juvet. il l'avait embauché pour ses concerts (il s'occupait de l'organisation), a habité un temps je crois chez lui ou venait assez souvent et le cadeau qu'il lui a fait avant d'être célèbre est d'avoir mis une de ses compositions dans son propre album alors que ce n'était pas Patrick qui chantait. Une chanson de Daniel dans un album de Patrick, c'est fou, non?? Qui le ferait aujourd'hui??

J'ai acheté par contre le fameux coffret noir qui contient je crois 100 chansons (4 ou 5 CD'S), l'avez-vous? J'avais déjà une compil' datant de 1999 qui reprend une des photos de Sauver L'Amour (je crois que je l'ai en double CD cette compil, uen version "simple" existant peut-être). Oui Pour La Femme Veuve Qui S'Eveille (1983) une des meilleures de cet album "LOin DesYeux De L'Occident" pour ce "son" que j'adore (très novateur et avant ceux du prochain et dernier album!) mais aussi Vivre Ou Survivre (1982), mais dommage il n'existe aucun clip pour celle-là!

The career of Daniel Balavoine was so intense, so quick. The success really start in 1978 with his first hit "Le Chanteur" and the Opera-Rock "Starmania" (Tycoon) and brutally stopped in 1986, 35 years ago. "Dieu que c'est beau", "Aimer et plus fort que d'être aimé", "Je ne suis pas un héros", "Sauver l'amour" are so important in his career. Another great french song writer and singer was Michel Berger (who wrote Starmania with Luc Plamondon) "Les Princes des villes" "Mademoiselle Chang" "Le Paradis Blanc" "Chanter pour ceux qui sont loin de chez eux" "La groupie du pianiste"

I don't think so. Affaire de goût! It's an awesome gem but Daniel sung more than 30 songs that touch me even more...

[@ooO0VicariouS0Ooo]

Written especially for him, but not by him. But you're right to fully appreciate the Balavoine's voice, it's a must. To write it they asked Daniel Balavoine to sing farest down and the farest high he could, and they wrote the chorus using those two extremes notes. That's why it's a really difficult song to sing for most of people.

Thanks very much for your review. Daniel Balavoine's 1985 LP, Sauver l'Amour, was on top of the records sales during 1 year (1986). It's track L'Aziza dropped in the top 50 after being number 1 during 8 weeks, because it was then replaced by another track, Sauver l'Amour (same title as the LP).

[@ceoliom9217]

I was six when this song came out. I remember the deep feeling of despaire i suffered even at such a young age when he died. It was also weird to see the debries of the crash all other the news and this song and video clip playing over again and again at the same period. It was like he was singing for us, beyond the boundries of death. He was very present and very abscent at the same time. Really a weird weird time.

Balavoine is a great singer. 1985 was his best year. Like another great song from the same album (with crazy instruments, a lot of work and sleepless nights to get there), there is "SAUVER L'AMOUR". Otherwise, his inescapable first success that we talk about most often : "LE CHANTEUR".

[@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391]

Sauver L'Amour (Save The Love) the BEST! 😉

[@chuckmomo]

For another french singer with a great voice there is also Michel Polnareff, "Goodbye Marylou", "Le bal des Laze".

[@Cedriiic6901]

Thank you for this react, this was a massive hit in France and you were right, Daniel Balavoine doesn't singing, he lived his songs. You can chosse "Mon fils ma bataille" or "Vivre ou survivre" for the next one, sure you'll like it !

[@faltskog36abba]

I remember Daniel with his duet with Frida -from Abba [Belle]. What a lovely voice he had .

[@jevousemmerdetouslesthunde2391]

Frida did backing vocals on Dieu Que C'Est Beau (1984) the "Aya Aya Aya" it's HER!

[@LetsChillPage]

@Dereck Hello, Great reaction from you. You've capte all what be needed to be. By cons, I don't know if I'm wrong but it seems to me speed of song was just a lil bit accelerated compared to original, wasn't it? I suggest you to now react to "Vivre ou Survivre" first and just after to "Aimer est plus fort que d'être aimer", and to finish with "Sauver l'amour". First cause I think "Vivre ou Survivre" is certainly the all first new wave French song ever product (I can't imagine what Daniel music could be if he was always with us!). The second is in same wave-synth vein but with even more experience in processing sound way. And of course always this dull rage rumbling in lyrics. The last, cause song bridge will make you fall from your chair ...Sure your bananas will roll on the floor! :D 3 titles to discover without delay. Amitiés from south France,

[@dloo1579]

Ah ah Daniel Balavoine the best !! Merci

[@jeremie2020]

You're so spot on Dereck when go: "he seemed to be a great man", oh yeah, he definitely was...so genuine, so flayed, revolted by injustice, always cared for the poorest ones, he even had the "couilles" (balls) to tell François Mitterand (former french president, charismatic) what he thought of his politics live on TV, without stammering, so charismatic too...he was a monument of french music, gone way too soon in a helicopter crash on the Paris-Dakar race in 1986 at 33 years old. Such a huge waste...😢 Many thanks Dereck!! PS: he had an unusual voice indeed, which he hated to tell you the truth...many people didn't trust him in the very beginning, telling him that his voice was too strange to be a popular singer...these idiots were so fucking wrong...

[@alaincouillaud8997]

Mitterand charismatic? not! I´ve met Balavoine once though (in Dax) :) and he was very charismatic indeed !

[@jeremie2020]

@@alaincouillaud8997As a President, let's say that he was more charismatic than Hollande.😁 But yeah, this word suited Balavoine so much more indeed...gone too soon.

[@bibiom83]

He died too soon but his discography is quite rich! So many meaningful songs to listen, to enjoy. He is one of my favorite, even if it’s not my generation: he died when I was 1y.o

[@Kerifinoana]

Thank youuuu for your vidéos. I was born in France, and I forgot that there were good music.

[@Suite_annamite]

I was literally just going to introduce you to that music video, but you've got gotten there already! Glad you like it, as it was one of the best-ever French 80's songs! Those of us in the French-speaking world used to love him a lot, and are all quite sad that *he died in a plane crash right after that MV was made!* And *fun fact:* the *woman* in the video *was his real wife!* I can relate to it, as I'm a Vietnamese guy and my girlfriend is Algerian.

[@Suite_annamite]

"L' Aziza" is still loved today, and is a staple for French singing contests, like "N'oubliez pas les paroles" (Don't forget the lyrics): kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHa1fKt3a850orc kzbin.info/www/bejne/bqStqqB8nNagkJY

[@stephenpillon]

Daniel Balavoine was, indeed a great man with an imense enpathy for the world. He had fight in public television with the french president Francois Mitterand on what to do to reduce poverty in france and the world. He was very ingaged in charity, equality, against racism etc...(as you can see in this particular song about a girl from Magrheb comming in France to live a better life.) As you said, he died at age 33, in an helicopter accident during the 1986 Paris-Dakar rally. He was in the chopper with Thierry Sabine, Director of the Paris-Dakar He was folllowing the race and use it as a medium to inform the world about the poverty in Africa. Daniel was doing charity work and giving water pumps to the poor villages having issues with water supplies. Im telling you all this from memory. I'm french and I was born in late 83 and still feel for him.

[@Les.po-AimesdeSylvain]

Bonjour J'adore vos réactions, et le concept de votre chaîne 🙂 Daniel Balavoine était un chanteur extraordinaire... Merci

[@roumiaou]

Your curiousness is a great thing. Keep going.

[@pierreo2629]

Like almost evrytime with Balavoine, this is a song about universal love. At that time France, mid 80's, racism was growing because of a migration wave coming from north African, lots of muslim people (Algeria, Morocco...etc) arrived in France (the migration wave started in the 70's precisely). So, in response of the racism sh*t, a lot of antiracist art and antiracist associations were created. This song is about a little girl who had to leave her sunny country to start a new life in the cold Paris (cold weather, cold people), the chorus says "your colour and your words, it's allright for me", it's a song about welcoming foreign people with different skin, culture, language in France, arms open wide. Beautiful humanist song.
