- Like model Grace Jones, model Patrick Juvet easily stepped into his dancing shoes and began his career as a disco recording act. Born August 21, 1950 in Montreux, Switzerland he began studying the piano at age 7 and loved the Beatles.
Moving to Paris in 1968 when he was 18, penniless when a friend sent him to Germany to begin a modeling career and after two years, he returned to Paris where he met producer Eddie Barclay. He began to collaborate with electronic artist Jean Michel Jarre and in 1977 released his biggest hit "Ou Sont Les Femmes" sung in french. The title translates in to "Where Are The Women", but the english version changed it to the more mournful "Where Is My Woman" one time the translation did not help. Chasing women is a national pastime in France, so a song about finding where they hide out was something they could relate to. Heartbreak had nothing to do with the sexy electronic beats that Jarre had created for Juvet.
Juvet went on to record with the producers of the Village People, Henri Belolo and Jacques Morali with "I Love America" and "Got A Feeling". "Où Sont Les Femmes" was re-recorded in English in 1978 on Casablanca but failed to gain an audience.
i met Patrick Juvet at the bar in a Night Club in Covent Garden here in London back in the 80s , we talked for ages...very nice Gentleman. 'I Love America'' was the Tune for me...
Hurricane master disco from One of the most underrated Artist across musical universe of times, may His Soul fly high in heaven never forgotten by us...
Superb choice to close out February !!!
Grazie!!!! Gran bel Disco Funk 70's. riempi Pista!!!!. & ... "I Love America"... Che nostalgia ragazzi!!!!!..
Wow, disco written by Jean Michel Jarre
check out the song Paris by Night also Juvet/Jarre
Jarre tended to write the words for Juvet’s songs, rather than the music. Both very talented guys.
@@chockergram sorry to contradict, Clive, but that sounds unlikely. I'll check my Juvet vinyls, however DiscoCat writes in the description of this here video: "the sexy electronic beats that Jarre had created for Juvet. "
Never heard this before 🙄 its cool 😎 to hear for the first time ☺️ great music 🎶🙂
First time hearing this one! what an absolute banger! its one of those you cannot keep atleast your feet from moving
I love America was the song I remember from 1978
been playing this song daily just discovered it what a vocal range this french singer has blew me away Nothing but Love
quel beau souvenir merci beaucoup !!
Un nouveau titre français dans la sélection DJDiscoCat ! Merci !
His affection for producer Jean Michel Jarre was never answered but it brought Juvet to the attention of Jacques Morali ( who made history with the Village People ). Their meeting resulted in unforgettable masterpieces as Got a feeling, I love America and Lady Night ! Love this rework by the way !
I grew up with I Love America. This is great too. Thanks for posting
Me too! Super song.
RIP Patrick Juvet :(
In France and Quebec, this is a classic! Im 23 and my parents used to sing it from time to time, i like it alot! Hope you guys from around the world will enjoy this banger~ thanks DJ
It’s a classic indeed 😃
Comment oublier? Le temps magique du disco. À près de 70 ans, j'en rêve encore.
Patrick juvet a très fortement influencé les Bee Gees pour Saturday night fever avec sa voix de tête !
I never heard it but I really like it
Excellent Song
The Best Quality
Thank You Friend👍👍👍 🌹🌹🌹
Génial ! J'avais 10 ans quand c'est sorti et j'adorais 😃 Énorme hit en Europe et ici en Belgique......je me souviens, j'étais le seul a adorer parmi mes copains.
Il fallait être dans les discothèques du centre-ville de Montréal pour saisir toute le force du disco sur la société et de la nightlife.
New to me. This mix is so good. Thanks and Congrats.
Oh thank you - it’s such a magnificent classic and it’s great new people can discover it for the first time now! 🎉 absolute classic in French speaking countries
Never heard this before, got here via Disco Purrfection searches but je l'aime! From now on, when I think of 70s disco en francais in space/dans l'espace realness, I will think of this song! 💗de Toronto!
Very good!
Very popular song at the time here in Québec. I haven't heard it in ages. Thanks for digging this one out. By the way some parts the bass line sound a bit like the ones in the song "Blind" by "Hercules & love affair". Anyone else hear it?
I love Euro-Disco it's so different from American Disco Music
Vive la 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Not so much, it's still guitars bass and drums. It was the synths who brought some innovation
This is a masterpiece !
Il y a des pépites dans disco français
I don't remember this one...sure like it 🙂
A couple of months ago I watched a documentary about Patrick Juvet on TV. Quite an interesting person he was. His disco songs are some of the best dancefloor-tunes ever recorded. Ou sont les femmes and I love America I personally think are awesome. A pity to know he struggled with his bisexuality. Rest in peace.
The song was written by j m jarre
This is the first time hearing the song
Adoravo questa canzone !!!!!!!! ❤
I have not heard this before. It is SO DISCO 1977 ! It should have been a hit here or at least a STUDIO CLUB SONG ! This would have been HUGE at "STUDIO ONE" !
🎼🎼🎼🎼🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍👍👍
Ah, le frennch touch.... 🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷
Je suis content... 😁😁
Ah what a touch. I'm so glad to speak both French and English. Best of both worlds.
Big Up Dj !
Parfait
Here is some trivia .. he represented Switzerland in the 1973 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest which was held in Luxembourg. I believe he finished in the middle. If I'm not mistaken,he passed away about 2 years ago. GLad you use the French version.. I'm a fan of using the mother tongue.
Along with Sheila B. Devotion (Spacer), he's the only French singer that made it big with disco.
I heard this song once and forgotten about it. Somehow you have this way of hittin' me the face with music I didn't think I'd ever hear again! That's why WE SUBSCRIBE!
Nowdays it would be: where are men???!!!
I think you've inhaled too many beer soap fumes
Fcng true. This era has lost it all. So glad I was there at the right age.
Always preferred the French version. Being from Montreal helps lol. Great remix
Friend Songs Please
I'm assuming there is NOT an English version of this track.
There is. Produced by Jacques Morali with translation by Victor Willis, of the Village People.
