Through these years, JOHNNY HALLYDAY regained his crown as the king of rock in FRANCE.But JOHNNY is not only a rocker;he can tackle ballads like few singers;he puts his soul to them.This anthology covers these years very well starting with the album ROCK'N'ROLL ATTITUDE written by the late MICHEL BERGER;GANG written by J-J.GOLDMAN(the guy who wrote CELINE DION's FRENCH albums)and CADILLAC written by ETIENNE RODA-GIL.Most of the songs are from those three albums.LAURA is actually JOHNNY'S daughter he had with actress NATHALIE BAYE.JOHNNY'S reputation has a live performer might be the reason of his stardom but this compilation shows he has good songs to deliver.

I was enjoying a good french dinner in Carcassonne late 2001 when I heard relaxing french soft music in the background.I immediately "fell in love" with the singer's voice. As I couldn't recognise the singer, I asked the staff and went to a shop already the next day to buy the CD. Johnny Hallyday has in fact been known to me since many years, but more as a Rock & Roll artist. This experience with "Anthologie 1985-97" was so fascinating, so he is now one of my favourites and I will always look for the new releases. He is very special and if you like me like to relax to ballads/soft music with a french touch from his deep caring voice, get this CD to your collection.

This is a little taste of how is the French style, the voice, the texture and the romanticism even when is strong at the same time, I love this singer! he puts all passion in the notes, he express and gives everything in each song! I would recommend Johnny Hallyday's music to have in your home!... for good listeners.
