LIO - AMOUREUX SOLITAIRES (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back....Keeping with the French theme (see previous post) comes this song.

Belgian pop singer "Lio" (Wanda Maria Ribeiro Furtado Tavares de Vasconcelos) (wow), had several hits in the early 80s including 'Banana Split', 'La reine des pommes' and this catchy number " Amoureux Solitaires".

'Banana Split' and 'Amoureux Solitaires'both made it to No1 in the French music charts.

So French, So Chic but very annoying, the fact that once you hear it...it wont leave your head (you have been warned :))

LIO - BANANA SPLIT   (Thanks to kksgae for the video)




LIO - LA REINE DES POMMES  (Thanks to yalita76 for the video)

Reminds me of German singer "Nena" from 1984

VANESSA PARADIS - JOE LE TAXI (Lost Hit)

Hello and welcome back.... Before she married "Johnny Depp", French singer/model 'Vanessa Paradis' released this 1987 hit called 'Joe Le Taxi'.

The song 'Joe Le Taxi' is in French, and was from the album 'M&J'.
This single also made it to No1 in the French & Belgium music charts, top 5 in the U.K, Germany and Norway music charts.

Joe must have been a good Taxi driver to have a song written about him... Meanwhile the song tells a story about how Joe enjoys drinking rum, has a passion for Latin music and his saxophone, and dreams of going to the Amazon.

I love the Saxophone part in the middle, sounds smooth and vibrant, So French, So Chic

Such an amazing song. Enjoy

ROBIN WILLIAMS DEAD AT 63

Hello and welcome back.... Sad news this morning with the passing of Actor / Comedian "Robin Williams" aged 63
It appears that the talented actor committed suicide after a severe bout of Depression...

As I write this, I have tears streaming down my face, for the man that I loved & adored as a comedian, that made me laugh so many times in this often harsh world we live in.

But sadly humor couldn't help the man who made us laugh, as a tormented soul battling depression.

He was truly an inspirational human being.

RIP Robin Williams
