Sacha Distel "Raindrops Keep Falling On My Head, The Good Life & Louise" on The Ed Sullivan Show

[@Isleofskye]

In his prime he was one of the World's most Beautiful men and I am straight:)

[@ricksuegreen1753]

Sure right and Alain Delon.

Alexandre "Sacha" Distel (29 January 1933 - 22 July 2004). Distel died of cancer at the age of 71 on 22 July 2004. He spoke French, Russian, English, Italian and Hebrew.

He must have been charming and gorgeous to the very end. Magnificent voice. A sad loss.

[@小松たけ-v3s]

He is so great and so underrated.

[@mubarak3457]

Underrated???? No really that dude was soooo big in Europe and France from the Mid 50’s up to the late 70’s , America is a different market

[@mickey2201]

He is soooo good lookin’!!!

[@ritanmartinez8630]

Talented entertainer with a charming manner, pleasing baritone voice and timeless good looks.

[@Fotinialive]

American television 📺 1969 it's great 👍

[@lonestarfriend]

Pleasant voice. Accent. :)

[@tiffaniaporchiazzo1791]

I love 1969 The best year on our lives And especially The Ed Sullivan Show ❤️

[@jackwynnemusic2367]

Fantastic

[@frankbougrasse8047]

As a French person, I'm jealous of his English accent!

[@mailyz3806]

J’adore. ❤❤❤❤❤

Was a fella, Sacha. Top lad. 😎

[@marciofernando679]

Adoro está música e o filme também

👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@hnc52]

Sacha Distel was managed by Claude Wolff, Petula Clark's husband. Being the composer of The Good Life makes upmfor his lacluster Raindrops. He certainly was good looking.

[@MichaelJones-wp6mz]

It was a big hit for Sacha in the U.K.!

[@themardelplataschoolofengl779]

I may like to disagree. Distel's rendition is sweet, lovely. Sorry!

[@cindyduran4236]

His suit was very cool back then.

[@laurawilliams2160]

Adorable....

[@adoreslaurel]

His Impersonation of Chavalier was spot on.

[@recordguy4321]

my god, he took every ounce of soul-fullness out of BJ Thomas's hit version

[@jv-ep2tc]

I thought it was just me. I remember this guy's name but never saw him perform. He is truly awful. He keeps looking up, all you see are the whites of his eyes.

[@brockreynolds870]

@@jv-ep2tc Whe you aren't singing in your native language... it tends to come across like that.

[@Armandzol]

@@jv-ep2tcHe was quite well known in France and known for his cool attitude, but here he is obviously very tense and stressed. I think he's having trouble dealing with the pressure of fitting in with the American public.

[@jv-ep2tc]

@@Armandzol yes, could be. The Sullivan show was a big deal.

[@AdrianDeVore]

He certainly did! A dreadful performance!!

[@jeffmclaughlin615]

HE IS A GOOD SINGER AND DOE'S A PRETTY GOOD IMPRESSION OF SINGER MAURICE CHEVALIER SINGING THE SONG LOUISE

[@sherirobinson6867]

I never heard of him? But, he sure is purdy lol

[@mubarak3457]

Now u know 😉

[@nonenoneonenonenone]

Such an odd song to become such a big hit.

[@jody8526937]

Obviously not his best performance but he did a lot of really good work. I collect his recordings.

[@frankbougrasse8047]

He is French, and to me, that was an awesome performance, especially considering he is not a native English speaker... Plus he is speaking english with a good accent please do the same in French Sir...

[@jody8526937]

@@frankbougrasse8047 I could not do this song justice in French or English. His French version of the Bacharach classic is much better than this Sullivan American translation.

[@MicheleSantamarina]

Tasty!❤

[@JanMike9]

Victoria Wood mentioned him in dinnerladies, so here I am, knowing she had a delicious eye for the ridiculous, and boy, did she hit a bullseye with this one.

[@martin3153]

Zoot alorè je peti feloö

[@PunjabiGaming509]

B.j thomas version aka original version is better

[@Themanwhocameback2]

Hadn't he been Brigitte Bardot's husband in the early 60'?

[@patrickgueguin792]

No,he wasn't not but had a love affair with Brigitte Bardot had lot of love affairs and only 3 husbands

[@eileencox3373]

No, he had not! They were never married

[@eileencox3373]

He was married to Francine, a ski champion, I saw him 7 times in concert, he was amazing.

[@Isleofskye]

@@patrickgueguin792 He only had 3 Husbands?

[@jordancadoz7750]

​@@Isleofskye Brigitte Bardot , not Sacha Distel

[@jv-ep2tc]

he's better at songwriting

[@jadezee6316]

a ridiculous song...so i cant imagine anyone capable of making it sound good

[@recordguy4321]

HA HA not a Burt Bachrach fan here.

[@DabsDad]

corny no doubt, and I've been listening to it for 48 years. Sounds like a TV show theme song.

[@Themanwhocameback2]

So smarmy and ridiculous. It's stuff like this that killed the Ed Sullivan Show. On TV since the 1940's, within less than 2 years of this, the show would be cancelled.

[@jody8526937]

Ed Sullivan show was great but all shows get canceled.

[@frankbougrasse8047]

Why it's ridiculous because he was French and spoke your language? I'm sure that you are able to speak only english, don't be so rude or jealous Sir...
