646.0. "Jacques Dutronc..where is he now?" by SYSTMX::BROWNE () Wed Apr 04 1990 22:48

    This is really dating myself,but I came across an old 45 from the mid
    sixties called "Et moi et moi et moi" by Jacques Dutronc...yes it was
    French and it was a big hit in Europe at that time. I was in the U.S.
    Army in Germany when it was popular and bought it then. 
     Upon playing it,I was shocked to discover that it was about 25 years
    ahead of its time in that it sort of sounds like a '80s sound long
    before there was the 80's ..has a heavy bass beat. Does anyone know who 
    he was and does anyone remember this record (a lost 45 if there ever
    was one)...if it was on CD and cleaned up...it sounds to me like it
    could be re-released...

	He is one of the most famous french singers and had a couple of big hits in the 60's, including "Et moi, et moi, et moi", "On nous cache tout, on nous dit rien", "Les playboys" which combined great music and very cynical but humourous lyrics. Most of this although have the sound of these times (tambourines, "garage" guitars) but IMO that makes it even better. Nowadays he progressively stops music and begins an acting career (well, in fact his first movie was in the end of the 70's). All his most popular songs can be found on several compilation LPs; the most recent ones can be easily found here in France (of course, on LP/CD/K7). Christophe. "On nous cache tout, on nous dit rien On nous informe vraiment sur rien Plus on apprend, plus on ne sait rien L'affaire Trucmuche et l'affaire Machin Dont on ne conna�t jamais l'assassin On nous cache tout, on nous dit rien On nous cache tout, on nous dit rien On nous cache-cache et cache-tampon Colin-maillard et Tartampion Ce sont les rois de l'information." Hope you understand French, cause that cannot be translated without ruining it.
