Effectively a throwback to the middle of the decade, this record is (as far as I am aware) the first No.1 of Gallic origin since “Poor People of Paris (Poor John)” in 1956. It comes from the pen of Gilbert Bécaud, with whom the British record buying public would have a fleeting acquaintance rather later on. Although it’s not a modern record even by the standards of 1958/59, it’s a cheerful effort, and I liked it well enough to get hold of a copy at a record fair when one turned up. Turning the record over gets you the same song in French.

For some reason, I always loved that song. Even now when I think about that tune, it brings back the great memories of my ‘50 Olds coupe (it had a great radio; tube set in those days!) and cruising back roads with a girlfriend. Growing up on the Oregon coast was mostly rain anyway….. Aaaah hell, those days are gone and so is the Olds coupe and the pretty girls.
