By the wonderful France Gall. 😍 Perfect song from the 80s and unforgettable from the first listen. It is a tribute to the great singer Ella Fitzgerald and also to the African-American people who have contributed enormously to world music...
I agree with you that there is something special about French music, that's mostly why I'm trying to learn the language. This song is great, like many of the songs she sang, Another Michel Berger song I've discovered recently which is great sang bye France Gall and Johnny Hallyday is " Diego Libre Dans Sa Tête" The amazing thing about both versions of this song is that they are so different yet equally as great as each other.
As a german i must admit the french language is way better for joyful and emotional music :D Something about the french language no other language can do.
It was a BIG hit in France but also in Europe. The production was by her late husband Michel Berger which was an incredible producer and songwriter. I agree that this song is a crossover for every people who love music EVERYWHERE !
2:22 OMG. I have exactly the same feeling. I was born in early 90's so there is very likely possible I heard this as a little kid. It makes me feel nostalgic.
Song composed by the great Michel Berger who was her companion and was also the composer of … SOS d’un terrien en détresse ! Yes the great song from the Starmania musical that was later covered by Dimash.

What a great singer! Sadly France Gall passed away few years ago. We miss her a lot. You should check "Resiste", it's one of her hits and I think the lyrics will talk to you. :)

Song about Ella Jane Fitzgerald (April 25, 1917 - June 15, 1996) was an American jazz singer, sometimes referred to as the "First Lady of Song", "Queen of Jazz", and "Lady Ella". She was noted for her purity of tone, impeccable diction, phrasing, timing, intonation, and a "horn-like" improvisational ability, particularly in her scat singing.
The translation Shahin Reacts was reading misses the title of this song which is repeated all along the theme: *"Ella (Fitzgerald), elle l'a"* ("Ella, she's got it"). It's a French phonetic pun. Ella - the first name of Ella Fitzgerald - sounds the same as "elle a" ("she has") and "elle l'a (She has it" or "she's got it")" in French.
J'ai toujours les larmes aux yeux en écoutant cette mélodie et son interprétation fantastique par cette grande dame de la chanson Française. Boulversant de vérité et d'émotion, c'est ce à quoi l"Art devrait pretendre de manière perpétuelle. Ça fait partie inhérente de mon vécu et de mes précieux souvenirs d'enfance ainsi que de la réconfortante présence de feu, ma tendre maman qui, tant me manque atrocement. Cher ami outre atlantique, je vous suggère la version de Bruno Mars qui, certes ne rivalise pas avec l'original mais lui fait, néanmoins, un honorable clin d'œil. 😉 Amitiés respectueuses envers vous, mon frère à la sensibilité communicative. 😊
Une incroyable artiste , et on en a beaucoup . Goldman/Bachelet/Johnny Hallyday/Balavoine/ Rita mitsouko/Indochine .... Merci pour la vidéo , amitiés :)
The title is a play on word with the name Ella (Fitzgerald, famous female singer) and "elle l'a" which means "she's got it". Ella, elle l'a - Ella, she's got it. Meaning she has something extra that no one else has.
Shahin Reacts : Hi! Shahin. For her live show called «Le Tour de France 88» (1987-1988), France Gall wanted the participation of all the American brass Phenix Horns. She performed with them the jazz finale of the song «J'irai où tu iras», an extract here ua-cam.com/video/WKAFZfeUsqg/v-deo.html. But you can watch the full live video on UA-cam.
helllo here is a list of French singers to listen !!! jean jacques Goldman "puisque tu pars ";; "la bas" ;celine dion "so that you love me again" lara fabian "i am sick" Daniel balavoine "sos d 'un terrrien en detresse " "tous les cris les sos" johnny hallyday "allumer le feu " " " l'envie "
Coucou thank for your reaction at France you're so emotional listen zaz. Éblouie par la nuit clip original big succès in France and Europe that voice is beautiful from Paris 🗼🗼🗼🗼🇫🇷
Ella as you might know for Ella Fitzgerald. And then all People for any colors, countries, genre etc... You should listen Daniel Balavoine, any of his song you should not be disapointed. Cheers from France
Love your reactions, they bring back a lot of good memories for me! Your comment on the cheerfullness of the song reminds me of "Joue pas" by François Feldman & Joniece Jamison... you should give a listen to the music video ;-)
Bonjour Shahin, j'ai une sensation que les artistes Français et Françaises sont ignorée et méprisée de la part des anglophones ! Je ne parle pas anglais, mais cela ne m'empêche pas d'écouter des titres en anglais, par contre un Anglais n'écouterai pas une chanson en français. Bon, depuis peu avec Internet, c'est plus facile de trouvé les traductions des paroles qu'en 1980 et les vidéos des artistes sur disponible sur UA-cam (sous réserve des droits d'acteur). Quelle que soit l'origine du chanteur/chanteuse). Je ne suis pas objective étant français, mais si les anglophones prendraient un peu de temps à se renseigner sur des artistes français (e) ou francophones. Ils ou elles pourraient ne pas passer a coté de France Gall, Michel Berger, Daniel Balavoine, Jean-Jacques Goldman solo ou avec Michael Jones ou le groupe Fredericks Goldman Jones, Jeanne Mas, Mylène Farmer... Hello Shahin, I have a feeling that French and French artists are ignored and despised by English speakers! I don't speak English, but that doesn't stop me from listening to songs in English, but an Englishman won't listen to a song in French. Well, recently with the Internet, it's easier to find the translations of the lyrics than in 1980 and the artists' videos are available on UA-cam (subject to acting rights). Whatever the origin of the singer / singer). I am not objective being French, but if English speakers would take a little time to learn about French or French-speaking artists. They or they could not miss France Gall, Michel Berger, Daniel Balavoine, Jean-Jacques Goldman solo or with Michael Jones or the group Fredericks Goldman Jones, Jeanne Mas, Mylène Farmer...
You don't know Ella Fitzegrald? So read more... Dubbed “The First Lady of Song,” Ella Fitzgerald was the most popular female jazz singer in the United States for more than half a century. In her lifetime, she won 13 Grammy awards and sold over 40 million albums. Her voice was flexible, wide-ranging, accurate and ageless. She could sing sultry ballads, sweet jazz and imitate every instrument in an orchestra. She worked with all the jazz greats, from Duke Ellington, Count Basie and Nat King Cole, to Frank Sinatra, Dizzy Gillespie and Benny Goodman. (Or rather, some might say all the jazz greats had the pleasure of working with Ella.) She performed at top venues all over the world, and packed them to the hilt. Her audiences were as diverse as her vocal range. They were rich and poor, made up of all races, all religions and all nationalities. In fact, many of them had just one binding factor in common - they all loved her.

Merci pour la vidéo ,
amitiés :)
MERCI de remettre en mémoire ce titre magnifique ..BERBER ..GALL....
Berger
French melody rules
Also in French there's an homophony between Ella and "She's got it" . Ella...Elle l'a.
I remember seeing this video in Canada on the music video channel Musique Plus. Perhaps you have previously heard the Kate Ryan cover.
I think so 😇
Merci ❤
The title is a play on word with the name Ella (Fitzgerald, famous female singer) and "elle l'a" which means "she's got it". Ella, elle l'a - Ella, she's got it. Meaning she has something extra that no one else has.
Song of 1987. About the great ELLA FITZGERALD. About the struggle of black people in modern history.
Ella elle l’a … Ella she got it …

The lyrics are very important in French songs. No vulgarity ever. French flare!

Please listen "ÉVIDEMMENT" BY HER 💗💗
Ella Ella Fitzgerald american singer
ELLA elle a: ELLA she has. The lyrics are playing with this sound. It is a tribute to ELLA but also to other black personalities.
Actually, it's "Ella, she has it" 👍
If you want to cry listen to mecano une femme avec une femme (a woman with a women) awesome song
It's not enough to listen and enjoy a song without understanding the lyrics.
Michel Berger ! 🙏
