SYLVIE VARTAN - HOLIDAY
7 comment(s):
Hey, that's Holidays from Michel Polnareff, 1972 I think. Other side: La mouche. Didn't know Sylvie also sings this.

Lovely picture of Sylvie, mordi.
Thanks to Youtube and the inspiration from your entry here, I got to discover her earlier work, some of which great, but not nearly as compelling as France Gall's (granted she did set the bar very high.) "Irresistiblement" is Sylvie at her best, and a fabulous video. She sounds even better in the Italian version on youtube too.
There is also a pretty neat video of a Vartan and Hardy duo, "Il y a deux filles en moi". A difficult pairing for Sylvie, Françoise understated cool elegance and grace just standing out.
One of the best things on Youtube is a trio with the two above and Etienne Daho singing one of Etienne's great songs, "on s'ressemble", you can tell how much Daho is enjoying it, and the two divas still have it, Françoise Hardy in her Left Bank bohemian chic with Sylvie's more "France Profonde" predisposition. Just fabulous.
(Another tangent here: Etienne Daho is a huge Syd Barrett fan -the guy has good taste- He does two wonderful covers, of Arnold Layne and of Late Night.)
Holidays is one of the very best Polnareff songs. His version is really, really good. I think he's just as talented as Gainsbourg but nowhere near as famous outside of France (more like totally unknown, except in Japan.)
Polnareff's prime is in the early 70s. It seems like that pop era in France was more dominated by male stars whereas the 60s were more female-dominated. Other big ones were Christophe and Patrick Juvet. Guys with long blow-dried hair and high voices. They started out earlier, but really came into their own groove in the early 70s.
