Johnny Hallyday, the French rock musician who passed away on 5 December at 74. It has never been an easy task. The mirror that this unconditional admirer of America and its music held up to them was always too distorted for his extravagant stage persona to be recognized as anything but a kitschy Gallic misreading of rock, confirmation of the old Anglo-American saw that French pop music is insignificantly, insufferably, silly. Witness Hallyday’s failure to win a following in the United States, notwithstanding his 1996 concert at the Aladdin in Las Vegas and his 2014 North American tour (whose commercial success came thanks largely to French ticket-buyers), or his three English-language studio albums (like the 1994 Rough Town, which reached number one in France but whose sales outside the hexagon remained circumscribed). As the Times of London put it a few years ago, Hallyday was always “a bit of a joke outside the French-speaking world.”
Admittedly, there is something of
Spinal Tap‘s parodic trajectory in Hallyday’s successive embrace of virtually every major rock style over the course of his exceptional six-decade career – from ’

1969
The third album is not ready yet. In February CBS releases a single with two previous hits, "Bip-Bip" and "Les Dalton". At that time, the comics' increasing popularity gives a tremendous boost to the story of four outlaw brothers. Meanwhile, Joe goes to London for recording sessions. From this time on, he has London and Heathrow at his fingertips. Six new titles are "stored away", two of which are obvious hits. "Les Champs-Elysees" is a cover version of Smacka Fitzgibbons' "Water-loo Road" and "Le chemin de papa" is written by Dassin in tandem with Delanoe. There is also a reprise of "Me que, Me que", a funny song created by Becaud and Aznavour, and two more tunes by Joe and Ricky. The work being finished, Joe returns to Paris - straight in the whirl of TV and ra-dio interviews, not to mention the growing number of concert engagements.

Joe is bedridden for one month but in the period between May and June, getting barely better, he releases the album and the only single containing "Les Champs-Elysees" and "Le Chemin de papa", let alone a little promo record. More than ever, the public loves what Plait likes. The album becomes a smash hit a
