I wasn't crazy about him at first, but he sort of grew on me. His music and style remind me so much of Paris. I spent my junior year abroad in Paris in 1985-1986, and you couldn't go anywhere without seeing or hearing Jean-Jacques Goldman. After I returned to the US, I liked him enough to keep track of anything of his that came out.ENTRE GRIS CLAIR.I loved it. His earlier stuff is more pop, later stuff is more accoustic. Then PAS TOI came out. His style is unique; we really don't have anyone like him in the US.
Besides PAS TOI, I love PUISQUE TU PART. That was definitely HIS year. Singulier has all of his best stuff on it. I loved that song. I still love it. Beautiful. Romantic, poetic.
There are very few less-than-excellent tracks on this masterpiece. It's completely changed my perspective on music in general, and French music in particular. There's very little I can say about this album to be honest. Jean Jacques Goldman's work is truly legendary, both as a writer and a singer. 4 years after I purchased this 2-CD set, I still listen to it religiously. My favorite songs include "La-Bas", "Puisque Tu Pars", "Filles Faciles", "Comme Toi", and "Envole Moi". This album serves as a general look at his beginnings as a solo artist. I would recommend this whole-heartedly.
This compilation is simply Jean Jacques Goldman at his best. but every time you think you've heard his best yet, he outdoes himself. Sublime lyrics and beatiful melodies. Jean-Jacques ROCKS (no pun intended)
especially "Puisque tu pars," which is my all time favorite song. I have always loved Jean Jacques Goldman's music. get yours today. He is amazing and the lyrics of all of his songs are extremely profound. This compilation is one of the best, I can listen to it over and over again without ever getting bored. now. go.
In case you've been under a rock for the past 20 years, Jean-Jaques Goldman is the King of French Rock 'n' Roll. Also look out for "Envole Moi", which has the classic chorus: "I may be gay, but I came here to play." Now that I have this CD, I don't think I'll listen to anything else. This album is a collection of his favorite hits from the 81-89 glory days. My personal favorite is "comme toi", which is live on this CD. Well, maybe a little Michael Bolton. I love that guy.
