    France gall est un monument de la chanson française

  • @garymaclean6903

    I discovered this song, and France Gall, only recently, and have been taken by it's wonderful musicality. It certainly has an 'International/French' character, with upbeat vocals by France Gall, wonderful instrumentation, and a production that marries it all together so well. The video compliments the music with both great shots of France, layered over wonderful imagery that incites the imagination to the people, places and emotions that the song is trying to capture. The opening with cowbell and then deep bass chords catches our attention that something special is about to happen. The vocals are upbeat throughout, and appreciated by everyone, even a non-French speaker like myself. The addition of horns is like a climax, where the spirit and message of the song hits home, and is reinforced by them. Apparently this song was popular when it came out in many primarily French-speaking markets, like our province of Quebec. However, I feel it could have gained popularity in many English speaking ones too.
    R.I.P France Gall. You are deeply missed.

    Ella Fitzgerald was the subject of the song and a play on words 'Ella Has It' - 'Ella Elle L'a'. France Gall was also a part of the Ye-Ye singers from the early 60's with a number of hits. Later she had numerous 80's hits and there so many memorable great french songs by many artists at this time. For many this song is a throw back to a special time.

    1:04 "Yéyé" est le nom qu'on a donné à un courant de la musique dans les années 60. En fait, ce courant désigne essentiellement la "mode" qui a sévi à cette époque en France, et qui consistait à reprendre des hits anglo-saxons et à les ré-adapter avec des paroles en français. Entre 1960 et 1966, ce fut ainsi l'avènement du "Twist" qui fit particulièrement émerger une flopée de chansons souvent assez légères dans le texte, mais qui faisaient danser la jeunesse du "Baby Boom" un peu partout dans l'hexagone. C'est à ce moment que le premier grand géant de la musique française, Serge Gainsbourg, propulse au sommet des charts France Gall avec une petite chanson sulfureuse et très coquine, "Les sucettes". Forte de ce succès, France Gall aura ensuite une belle carrière en France et surtout en Allemagne, avant de devenir au milieu des années 70 l'égérie de son futur mari et compositeur, un autre grand géant, Michel Berger.
    Ils sont hélas aujourd'hui tous disparus mais leur oeuvre est à jamais gravée dans la mémoire culturelle de notre pays.

    France Gall started aged just 16 with the wave of yéyé (yay-yay) singers in 60s France but she went on for over 30 years as a vocalist and even came back as a producer shortly before her death in 2018. Her most successful decade was actually the 80s and Ella, Elle l’a (dedicated to her all-time idol Ella Fitzgerald) is her at her best thanks to her fruitful collaboration with her composer/producer husband Michel Berger.

      C’est un hommage à cette grande artiste, mais cela va encore plus loin. Si le personnage de Madame Fitzgerald a été choisi ce n’est pas pour rien, c’est un hommage à tous ses géants qui malgré l’adversité se surpassent en restant eux même et en réalisant l’incroyable tour de force d’inspirer toutes les personnes qui ont la chance de se confronter à eux.

    Hi Johnny,good morning.
    Yéyé (pronounced yesyes, without the s) is a typically French expression of the 60s. The singers of that time reinterpreted English rock hits, in which we heard a lot of "yeah ... yeah ....". Critics made fun of these singers by calling them the "yéyés".

    '' Ella (Fitzerald), she have it'', that's the exact translation with a french game of word. This song released in 1988 (from the bestseller album ''Babacar''), was actually a tribute to Ella, and wrote by the greatest french composer, Michel Berger, which was the France Gall's husband. He was a famous singer too. He died in 1992 by heart attack. You know many famous songs from him (SOS, covered by Dimash, The World is Stone, covered by Cyndi Lauper, Ziggy by Celine Dion). He wrote two great Musicals (Starmania and Jimmy). France and Michel are a part of France history of music. Michel Berger wrote hundreds of heartwarming songs, you could be touched by many of them (sing by France Gall, Johnny Hallyday of by himself). France was the bigest female star in France, since 1974 and 1992. Mylene Farmer took over.

    5:00 Il faut savoir également que Michel Berger, le compositeur de "Ella, elle l'a", s'entourait de quelques-uns des meilleurs musiciens américains de l'époque, et notamment de géants du Jazz. Je pense en particulier aux frères Brecker, Randy et Michael, qui ont tous les deux enregistré avec Michel (par exemple sur le titre "Les princes des villes"). Michel était très apprécié par la production musicale américaine, ce qui lui avait permis d'enregistrer à New-York et Los Angeles, entre autres, à la toute fin de sa courte carrière.
    D'ailleurs, je vous conseille vivement d'écouter "Les princes des villes" et de réagir sur cet extraordinaire morceau, dont le groove et la production à l'américaine, avait marqué le public français.

"La Paradis Blanc" is his last song because he's dead (during a tennis match, for information) and this song, "Le Paradis Bla'c" is about the death and the after. You should make a video about this wonderful song!
    Michel Berger have also wrote a musical show called "STARMANIA". It talks about the life of a town where everybody wants to become a star. In to the world, this show is called "TYCOON", the English version. Sure you know it! 😉 with Peter KINGSBERRY, Cindy Lauper, etc... If you make a video about this, sure you'll have results!
