Berger, Balavoine, Goldman, the best French songwriters and performers.

Very sad but very powerful song. He's not a singer, he was a messenger.

I don't know if you know it but Michel Berger was France Gall's husband. He's still considered as one of the greatest composers of all times in France and he composed most of the songs from France Gall. Thank you for your reaction and I would like to recommend to you these songs from Michel Berger : "La Groupie du pianiste", "Celui qui chante", "Mademoiselle Chang", "Les Princes des villes", "Y'a pas de honte", "Chanter pour ceux qui sont loin de chez eux" and " Ça ne tient pas debout". All these songs are really great so I really think you should appreciate them. Have a nice day and thank you.

[@TMBTM]

Yes, to me the vocal style of Michel Berger always was to just sing like if he was talking to you, without trying to do vocal performances. It's always direct to the point and there's never too much or too less. It's always exactly only what the songs need. It's pretty much the opposite of 90% of the singers today who try too hard to impress and the songs sometime suffer from it. Michel Berger impressed by the music and the songs, and it's pretty much all that matters in the end.

[@arkasonus7678]

Especially these followings tracks "Superficiel et léger", "Laisse passer les rêves", "Les élans du cœur", the sad "La petite fille de Calmette", "La négresse blonde", the so emotional song dedicated to Daniel Balavoine", "La lettre" (= the letter).

Hi Dereck, Bass is definitely not synthetic :). Jannick Top is a classic trained cello player who later on switched to bass. He was a member of the avant garde jazz rock band "Magma", and outside France, he has been collaborating with loads of world fame artists such as Ray Charles, Nina Hagen, Herbie Hancock, Barbara Hendricks, Eurythmics, Ennio Morricone... (credit Wikipedia). And at 4:15, I would say this is oboe rather than clarinette.

[@BBdu37]

One of his most beautiful songs, from his perhaps the saddest album. The marvel of this album is undoubtedly "A quoi il sert". MB is probably one of the most prolific songwriters and his couple with France Gall will forever mark the history of French music. A multitude of hits, for him, for her, for Johnny, musicals ... The title to remember of course: "La groupie du pianiste"

[@gwenaelleboulben]

You made me cry when you talked about a sad vibe, but also hopeful, because I think that's the essence of who was Michel Berger. Thank you! 💜💜💜
