Impossible French music question ....

[Fab Foodie]

Ok. So driving on France yesterday I heard a record on Radio Nostalgie that I had not heard for 40 years. I remembered it word and note for note. I just can't remember who it's by!

Mid 70s
French artist
Featured extracts of:
'A hard days night'
I get around by the beach boys
Satisfaction
Gloria

If only i had Shazam available ....

Any ideas?

According to Madame JKH it is Laurent Voulzy. She's delighted you brought it up

And you're F*in right there, it is indeed Rockcollection by Laurent Voulzy!

God you're good. It was so nice to hear it after so any years. I can now listen again.

Great stuff cc.

It's a fab song, it's stuck in the deepest recesses of my mind for sooooo long. 1977 eh?
How did you all know?

I just knew some bloody nit-picker would bring that up...

Edit: actually hasn't that guitar God Johnny Hallyday defected to Belgium?

Right about now, someone should posts link to that Italian singing gibberish. I'm on my phone, so can't be bothered.

It's Jean Jacques Perrey, for me.
