La meilleure version 💓💓 c'est celle ci, Interprété par une diva 🤩🤩 La plus grande chanteuse de tous les temps 🌹🤩🤩🌹

[@Fartakus]

Imagine with today technology No one can top Ginette 🤩

[@martinschwartz3438]

Great reaction👍, the song was originally from the French singer/composer Claude François "Comme d'habitude". Then the lyrics were translated in english by Canadian singer/composer Paul Anka for Frank Sinatra. It was then covered by Elvis Presley, The Sex Pistols and many other singers including here Ginette Reno who's from the french speaking province of Québec in Canada, just like Céline Dion. Cheers from Montréal, Québec, Canada 😁🇲🇶🇨🇦🇲🇶😁

I don't know but i've always preferred de Michel Sardou's version of this song!

In background it was a chorale of homeless men (chorale accueil Bonneau) hommage to acteur and crooner Claude Blanchard

Ginette for quebec people is like a perfect little hidden treasure that we keep to ourselves.

[@lenstgelais7376]

Indeed an icon

Unfortunately, people on KZbin are starting to discover her. Quick, we need a new safehouse! ;)

This was a celebration of a Quebecois actor, and she is a quebec treasure.

Hello *JAR,* The original version by *Claude François* *"Comme d'habitude"* in *1967* (my birthday year) has always had my preference. *Claude François* also worked on writing the lyrics. Because they were talking about his own story. But also and above all, because precisely, when he sang it in the "scopitone" (the ancestor of the video clip) of the time, he saw at the same time in his real personal life this drama of incommunicability in the couple he then formed with the other icon of French song at the time, France Gall. This song talks about their bad romance. About what they live at the moment. It's to her he speaks. In this scopitone, specific images and certain intonations of his voice show so much of what he feels. Contrary then to the American jazz-swing and rather "symphonic" adaptation of Paul Anka sung by Franck Sinatra, who popularized this song all over the world, the original version of Claude François fits perfectly into the soul music of *Aretha Franklin,* *Otis Redding* or *Al Greene.* The orchestration is very different because the original French lyrics don't express the same feeling (for *"My Way"* the balance sheet of life) as those of Paul Anka's adaptation. Under the same nickname *(Lets Chill Page),* on the *Lyrics Translate* website, I published a poetic, rhyming, and metered translation (same number of feet in the rhymes so that we can sing it). The 1967 scopitone (KZbin link, actually) is also available at the bottom of this translation page. I'd love for you to react to this version. I'm sure you'll like it a lot. Sorry for the pad (long text). I thought it was important to explain. Above all, don't change anything; stay as you are; always spontaneous. That's how we love you! Thanks a lot anyway.

La meilleure version c'est celle-ci 💓 interprété par une diva, splendide, magnifique 🤩🤩 La plus grande chanteuse de tous les temps 🌹🌹🌹

[@ayisyenkonsekan9964]

@@nicolechanoina9222 elle chante vraiment bien, d'ailleurs c'est ma chanteuse francophone préférée. À chaque fois qu'elle chante, elle me donne de la chair de poule. Elle a dans sa voix quelque chose qui m'interpelle, mais j'ai du mal à savoir quoi. Son charisme, sa puissance vocale, l'émotion qu'elle degaje... dommage qu'elle ne puisse vivre éternellement, mais tout comme Charles Aznavour ces œuvres vont l'eterniser. Mais pour ce qui est de my way ou comme d'habitude version française, je ne sais pas pourquoi, mais je m'attache à la version chantée par Michel Sardou.

[@louispaquet8185]

She's 74 and still singing

[@lenstgelais7376]

Indeed 😉👌

[@mcasualjacques]

she said she will be imagining that she is him singing the song and ~leaning/counting on~ his emotions. He has been in showbizz in the stand-up comic genre, and in tv comedy slap stick'y and later in super serious roles where he was a mafia guy i think. Claude Blanchard. He did 'cabaret' types of show and on and on. Everybody knew him internationally as far a say Quebec city

[@patbrat158]

Ginette Reno is Québec s first Céline Dion. René Angélil was Ginette manager way before Céline. Sorry to say. But Céline was His plan B .Ginette Reno chosed her familly over an international carreer. She s now 78 and still Sings her lungs out!!!

[@lenstgelais7376]

Actually Ginette fell in love with another manager and influence her to be his manager and she agreed she was in love with him so she fired Rene angelil then came Celine right after 😉

[@YvesGagnon-mm8pd]

ma version préféré est celle de Sinatra mais celle ci est très bonne aussi ! Ginette est un petit trésor du Québec merci.

Regarder Ginette Reno avec Lionel Ritchie Duo de la chanson Hello Ginette Reno chanté par intuition car elle a un problème de surdité. Elle entend à seulement 10 pour cent. INCROYABLE

[@CatherineMaltais]

Ginette won best album this year at l’Adisq (Quebec’s music awards).

[@SCoulombe]

The great Ginette Reno.. did you saw the magnificence duet.. with Ginette and Céline.. i promesse.. you wont be disapoint

[@lenstgelais7376]

She already reacted to it

[@JAR17]

Hey, guys! I wanted to ask you if you're getting ready for the holidays? Like hanging garlands, putting up a tree? I'm curious , hehe

[@jemyself]

Listen the original song Comme d'habitude by Claude François

[@mickymike8266]

ginette reno is not only a great artist but also an embarrassing woman and she adores her fans! She has an extraordinary voice and it is moreover she who should have had an international career in place of celine dion. But shortly before signing Celine ... we had offered the same contract to Ginette. who refused at the time for different reasons. despite all, she continues to give us beautiful music!

[@nadine938]

Qu'elle femme magnifique!!!

[@francisctfortin5076]

You must react to tue moi/amazing grace from Ginette Reno, Dan Bigras and some other artists from Quebec. 7 minutes of pure pleasure

[@mcasualjacques]

well Frank Sinatra was more the type of person having lived his life his way, i mean having 15 wives, fraying with the Vegas mafia, descending into heavy drinking, that's pretty myway right there, oh yes now i remember the Claude Francois is about a married couple having fallen in routine but at the end you understand he loves her as much as on the first day, it's a retournement de situation.

[@thomasdaoust6669]

The original is ‘’ comme d’habitude’’ but when they translate it to English they change the text and the title to “My way” and ask frank Sinatra to sing it

[@SCoulombe]

And my way by Elvis is so Perfect !!!

[@SCoulombe]

Céline Dion Also did a beautifull version of my way !!

[@lenstgelais7376]

Indeed epic 😉👌

This man have write and sing the song Jean Pierre Ferland He got sick and was not able to perfom like he was when eh was young .

[@StephaneBoudreau]

Jacques Revaux, who wishes to work with Claude François, presents it to him in his mill in Dannemois on August 27, 1967. The two men then rework the song by the swimming pool in the company of the lyricist Gilles Thibaut. The text is thus reworked by Claude François who adds to it the theme of the daily life of a couple who are breaking up, thus summarizing their recent sentimental break with France Gall. It also proposes to introduce a chorus-bridge (change of tempo and instrumentation more conducive to vocal effects). It is on this concept that the lyricist Gilles Thibaut finishes the text of what becomes Comme d'habitude. So here is Comme d'habitude with France Gall pictured. kzbin.info/www/bejne/ZnjFnZ1ujN1-bc0

Reno did not want to have an international carrer in France.
