Even president POMPIDOU was a fan of JACQUES DUTRONC back in the sixties, which tells a lot about his impact then. JACQUES later became a respected movie actor(VAN GOGH),and his ironic face coupled with a relaxed way of taking life not to seriously made him quite irresistible with women.This 2cd collection is perfect in every aspect, giving full credit to JACQUES LANZMANN his first lyric writer.ET MOI,ET MOI,ET MOI and IL EST CINQ HEURES, PARIS S'EVEILLE have become classics and are delightfully ironic.If you don't know it,JACQUES is also FRANCOISE HARDY's husband.

Dutronc is a madman. Picture Dylan mixed with the Beastie Boys and Beck (on "Cactus", for example) all with a 60's/70's French Pop feel. Many tunes are true lounge Are you turning green? If not, then Dutronc is for you. He'll be a hit at your chic soirees and cocktail hours, and your friends will all want you to burn a copy for them, although personally I recommend purchasing from amazon. Francophile membership card required for this purchase. Sample from Cactus:

Dans le monde, il y a des cactus. Il est impossible de s'assoir (In the world, there are cacti. It's impossible to sit down)

--Brilliant stuff.
