5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliant French singer of the sixties and seventies, February 16, 2003

This review is from: Ses Plus Grands Succes (Audio CD)

Joe was an easy listening pop singer who died in the early eighties while still in his prime. This collection contains the best of his music from 1965 to 1979. Some of the songs are of French origin and it would appear from the credits that he co-wrote some of them. He sings one of the tracks here (The guitar don't lie) in English, although the other 45 tracks are all in French.

Apart from the French songs, there are a number of other songs that he sings with French lyrics. It is clear from the titles that at least some of them have completely new lyrics rather than being translated from the original. I conclude this review with a list of some of the songs that might be familiar to you, to give you an idea of his range of material. Despite his easy listening style, the sources of the songs are diverse, including country and folk as well as mainstream pop songs.

Something is happening (Herman's hermits)
City of New Orleans (Arlo Guthrie)
Ode to Billie Joe (Bobbie Gentry)

Yellow river (Christie)
Suddenly you love me (Tremeloes)
My little lady (Tremeloes)
Big yellow taxi (Joni Mitchell)
Cecilia (Simon and Garfunkel)
You were on my mind (We five USA, Crispian St Peters UK)

"Ses Plus Grands Success" covers Joe Dassin's greatest recordings, a true 'Best of' album. It kicks off with the Smash Hit Classic "L'Ete Indien" & then moves backwards in time to "Marie Jeanne" "L'Amerique", "Guantanamera"... The CD includes the bonus track "Taka Takata (La Femme Du Torero)" Remix Latino 2000.
A True Legend.
This Is French Music at it's best...
