Gilbert Bécaud - Eternel (2007) cd1 CasTaN

Gilbert Bécaud (French pronunciation: ​[ʒil.bɛːʁ be.ko], 24 October 1927 – 18 December 2001)
was a French singer, composer, pianist and actor, known as "Monsieur 100.000 Volts" for his
energetic performances. His best-known hits are "Nathalie" and "Et Maintenant", a 1961
release that became an English language hit as "What Now My Love". He remained a popular
artist for nearly fifty years, identifiable in his dark blue suits, with a white shirt and
"lucky tie"; blue with white polka dots. When asked to explain his gift he said, "A flower
doesn't understand botanics." His favourite venue was the Paris Olympia under the management
of Bruno Coquatrix. He debuted there in 1954 and headlined in 1955, attracting 6,000 on his
first night, three times the capacity. On 13 November 1997, Bécaud was present for the
re-opening of the venue after its reconstruction.
