Most of French songs in the sixties were taken from American standards, it was very fashionable then. Singers would change their names to american souding ones (Jonnhy Hallyday is by far the most famous one, Dick Rivers, Eddy Mitchell) and adapt the songs in French. The Locomotion, House of the Rising Sun and so on... I was going to say Black is Black, but that one is actually a Spanish song, originally :-). We even have a name for that period in French music : Les Yéyés (because singers would add Yeah-Yeah in the Lyrics).

[@crowblank1]

The members of Anthrax were absolutely fans of Trust. In their 1989 EP "Penikufesin", two of the six tracks are Trust covers. “Antisocial” (sung in French) and “Sects” (Les sectes). Fun fact, when Anthrax released "Antisocial" in 1987, Iron Maiden had also planned this cover and dropped out. Another fun fact, Iron Maiden drummer Nico McBrain left Trust in 1982 to join... Iron Maiden. A less fun fact, the singer of Trust and the singer of ACDC were very good friends. On February 18, 1980 in a recording studio in London, Bon Scott joined Bernie Bonvoisin to jam and then met to party in the evening. Meanwhile, Trust managers arrive from Paris to celebrate Trust's first gold record. Everyone leaves the studio to celebrate and, a little later, Bon Scott finds the place empty and goes to party on his own. The next morning he was found dead in a car. I tend to think that, if Trust hadn't been successful, Bon Scott might still be alive. Bad karma 😑.

In the 60's and the 70's almost all of the French singers were stealing songs from the USA ! lol

[@tixien]

“Stealing” music is likely as old as music itself. One of the most prolific (and famous) musicians in history, Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741), was dead against the spread of printed press, as he thought it would enable large-scale theft of his work. He wasn’t wrong somehow but more than anything this anecdote points at how difficult it is to define music. Interesting to note that in musical terms a piece (like an opera, for instance) is said to have been created when it’s been performed for the first time, not when the composer considers he’s done with writing it. Pieces can be created years, decades and sometimes centuries after they were written and composed. To sum it up, it’s a tricky challenge to define theft of something that doesn’t reality exist until the stealing is complete.

In the « mainstream business » what makes an artist, a great artist, it’s his ability to create original pieces while being productive at the same time. The truth is that it is almost impossible, so in order to stay in the race they do adaptations. By the way covers like you said are something normal these days, but back in the days when called an adaptation it was different because even if was normally done with the agreement of the artists, it was done in secret, the credits were written in small on the of the track, everything was done to hide it to the their fans because it wasn’t accepted like it is today, even if most of them were already doing it. The myth of the genius who writing, and singing all of his songs stronger than now, although there was many really famous songwriters, but unlike today originality was still something important for the consumer, so the artists and their labels were trying their best to feed the myth
