classicrawker Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 (edited) I have heard the name but have to admit I don't know much about the man but heard him referred to as the French Elvis....read on the Stones forum that Jimi Hendrix opened for him back in 1966?.....can anyone educate me about him?

Len Cnut Posted December 6, 2017 Share Posted December 6, 2017 Sort of like a French Cliff Richard, heard an album of his way back in the day of rock standards all done in french, he was in films too, I remember seeing him in some Goddard movie or another.
