Patrick Juvet ~ Ou Sont Les Femmes 1977 Disco Purrfection Version

Like model Grace Jones, model Patrick Juvet easily stepped into his dancing shoes and began his career as a disco recording act. Born August 21, 1950 in Montreux, Switzerland he began studying the piano at age 7 and loved the Beatles.
Moving to Paris in 1968 when he was 18, penniless when a friend sent him to Germany to begin a modeling career and after two years, he returned to Paris where he met producer Eddie Barclay. He began to collaborate with electronic artist Jean Michel Jarre and in 1977 released his biggest hit "Ou Sont Les Femmes" sung in french. The title translates in to "Where Are The Women", but the english version changed it to the more mournful "Where Is My Woman" one time the translation did not help. Chasing women is a national pastime in France, so a song about finding where they hide out was something they could relate to. Heartbreak had nothing to do with the sexy electronic beats that Jarre had created for Juvet.
Juvet went on to record with the producers of the Village People, Henri Belolo and Jacques Morali with "I Love America" and "Got A Feeling". "Où Sont Les Femmes" was re-recorded in English in 1978 on Casablanca but failed to gain an audience.

Hurricane master disco from One of the most underrated Artist across musical universe of times, may His Soul fly high in heaven never forgotten by us...

[@StephenSatterfieldTheSLSway]

Superb choice to close out February !!!

[@peterst.8473]

Wow, disco written by Jean Michel Jarre

[@Seven-Planets-Sci-Fi-Tuber]

check out the song Paris by Night also Juvet/Jarre

[@chockergram]

Jarre tended to write the words for Juvet’s songs, rather than the music. Both very talented guys.

[@Seven-Planets-Sci-Fi-Tuber]

@@chockergram sorry to contradict, Clive, but that sounds unlikely. I'll check my Juvet vinyls, however DiscoCat writes in the description of this here video: "the sexy electronic beats that Jarre had created for Juvet. "

[@lucaspIs]

First time hearing this one! what an absolute banger! its one of those you cannot keep atleast your feet from moving

[@bettyperez2128]

I never heard it but I really like it

[@Xavierxavou]

Patrick juvet a très fortement influencé les Bee Gees pour Saturday night fever avec sa voix de tête !

[@genegjr]

Never heard this before 🙄 its cool 😎 to hear for the first time ☺️ great music 🎶🙂

[@CINEMAPALACE]

Pierre Sioui, (DiscoCat) you may have found Patrick Juvet in heaven, like so many other artists whose songs you sublimated, rest in peace...

[@danielstefane312]

been playing this song daily just discovered it what a vocal range this french singer has blew me away Nothing but Love

[@GTO6006]

Un nouveau titre français dans la sélection DJDiscoCat ! Merci !

[@johnnydee969]

His affection for producer Jean Michel Jarre was never answered but it brought Juvet to the attention of Jacques Morali ( who made history with the Village People ). Their meeting resulted in unforgettable masterpieces as Got a feeling, I love America and Lady Night ! Love this rework by the way !

[@davidpotter-1969]

A couple of months ago I watched a documentary about Patrick Juvet on TV. Quite an interesting person he was. His disco songs are some of the best dancefloor-tunes ever recorded. Ou sont les femmes and I love America I personally think are awesome. A pity to know he struggled with his bisexuality. Rest in peace.

[@tombsower6926]

The song was written by j m jarre

[@michaeldomino8879]

I grew up with I Love America. This is great too. Thanks for posting

[@maggybenavides1004]

Me too! Super song.

[@rockybudgeboa]

RIP Patrick Juvet :(

[@RIXRADvidz]

I love Euro-Disco it's so different from American Disco Music

[@ze-cat]

Vive la 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@mariuspoppFM]

Not so much, it's still guitars bass and drums. It was the synths who brought some innovation

[@raphaelg6747]

Génial ! J'avais 10 ans quand c'est sorti et j'adorais 😃 Énorme hit en Europe et ici en Belgique......je me souviens, j'étais le seul a adorer parmi mes copains.

[@racineurr.8924]

Il fallait être dans les discothèques du centre-ville de Montréal pour saisir toute le force du disco sur la société et de la nightlife.

[@godivor]

i met Patrick Juvet at the bar in a Night Club in Covent Garden here in London back in the 80s , we talked for ages...very nice Gentleman. 'I Love America'' was the Tune for me...

[@jefadine3651]

Il y a des pépites dans disco français

[@prof.luiz.hourneaux-biolo9318]

Very good!

[@fob1xxl]

I have not heard this before. It is SO DISCO 1977 ! It should have been a hit here or at least a STUDIO CLUB SONG ! This would have been HUGE at "STUDIO ONE" !

[@kf9346]

Never heard this before, got here via Disco Purrfection searches but je l'aime! From now on, when I think of 70s disco en francais in space/dans l'espace realness, I will think of this song! 💗de Toronto!

[@spiritea5640]

Oh thank you - it’s such a magnificent classic and it’s great new people can discover it for the first time now! 🎉 absolute classic in French speaking countries

[@komalkumar9073]

Excellent Song The Best Quality Thank You Friend👍👍👍 🌹🌹🌹

[@bamlize]

New to me. This mix is so good. Thanks and Congrats.

[@MusicalBox]

Very popular song at the time here in Québec. I haven't heard it in ages. Thanks for digging this one out. By the way some parts the bass line sound a bit like the ones in the song "Blind" by "Hercules & love affair". Anyone else hear it?

[@eeklosuppo70]

This is a masterpiece !

[@S.H.A.D.O.999]

I don't remember this one...sure like it 🙂

[@ottobiscotto9679]

Adoravo questa canzone !!!!!!!! ❤

[@devininman]

This is the first time hearing the song

[@ze-cat]

Ah, le frennch touch.... 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷 Je suis content... 😁😁

[@racineurr.8924]

Ah what a touch. I'm so glad to speak both French and English. Best of both worlds.

[@dorianyoungtai3891]

🎼🎼🎼🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍

[@djgugadecastro]

Parfait

[@michelsennett5375]

Here is some trivia .. he represented Switzerland in the 1973 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Luxembourg. I believe he finished in the middle. If I'm not mistaken,he passed away about 2 years ago. GLad you use the French version.. I'm a fan of using the mother tongue.

[@racineurr.8924]

Along with Sheila B. Devotion (Spacer), he's the only French singer that made it big with disco.

[@Taalib5083]

I heard this song once and forgotten about it. Somehow you have this way of hittin' me the face with music I didn't think I'd ever hear again! That's why WE SUBSCRIBE!

[@davelevesque8273]

Big Up Dj !

[@mikeandcheryl1885]

Always preferred the French version. Being from Montreal helps lol. Great remix

[@mreinstein48]

Nowdays it would be: where are men???!!!

[@Marcel_Audubon]

I think you've inhaled too many beer soap fumes

[@racineurr.8924]

Fcng true. This era has lost it all. So glad I was there at the right age.

[@komalkumar9073]

Friend Songs Please

[@Rlotpir1972]

I'm assuming there is NOT an English version of this track.

[@chockergram]

There is. Produced by Jacques Morali with translation by Victor Willis, of the Village People. kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJvYqGV4jKilkKM

[@ИльгизВалиев-ю6х]

Super!
