Yves Duteil: Petite fille (1979)

Delicious Petite Fille. YT. Part of the J'ai la guitare qui me démange album (but I could not find la guitare on YT).

Yves Duteil: Prendre un enfant par la main (1977)

Until now I have posted very little from Yves Duteil because when I started the blog I could not find his songs on Youtube. The situation is very different now so let us start a tribute to Yves with this famous song from his second album Tarentelle that contains so many.

YouTube. Here a version by Joan Baez.

Here a link to his personal blog.

Yves Duteil: la langue de chez nous (1985)

Yves Duteil: Le mur de la prison d'en face (1977)

I was looking for a version of this song that Yves Duteil sings in duo with Véronique Rivière in the CD Entre elles et moi  but I cannot find it on line (just 59 seconds here). So here is an anonymous version on DailyMotion (with pictures of the La Santé -Health- jail in Paris) or here on YouTube.
