Pink Martini: Sympathique (Je ne veux pas travailler) (1997)

Another French song by Pink Martini. Sympathique is the title of their first album and also of the song.

Here on YouTube (one of many videos).

Florent Pagny: Savoir Aimer (1997)

Florent Pagny is a star and this song a hit. I had never heard it. He remained totally under my radar: I am too old. Authors: Lionel Florence (lyrics) and Pascal Obispo (music).

Michel Berger, Salif Keita, Christophe: Je veux chanter pour ceux (1986-1993 -2007

Christophe sings in November 2007 on France 2 Je veux chanter pour ceux (qui sont loin de chez eux) written by Michel Berger in 1985. I still think the best performance was by Salif Keita in the hommage to Michel Berger in January 1993 (on France 2 as well). Here the original version by Michel Berger.
