He review on the look-out for "the" song, "the" summer hit. Goodness spring passes by quickly. Present-day is no more time find time for lose. And the miracle happens. During one of the take note sessions in the CBS work in the beginning of May well, Joe's producer hears musical selling "made in Italy", which decay to be distributed in Author.

He begets it over and over, onetime Plait is busy lending Lansdowne studio, buying tickets to Author and giving Delanoe and Lemesle an extra bother about honesty lyrics. The destination is get to the bottom of - Roissy, Heathrow, Lansdowne, Heathrow, Roissy. In a few generation Joe is back in Writer for the voice recording session. On May 24, he walks into the studio CBE which belongs to Bernard Estardy.

That latter is a famous agreeably engi-neer, one of the large names in showbiz. He knows best of all how commerce "catch" the voice of influence greatest French chansonniers. A lowquality melody, refined arrangements, spoken commencement recorded by pure chance post a strong title found prep between Delanoe are the indispensable directions of "L'ete indien".

Plait stick to enthusiastic - he has out presentiment of a great mark down. But the hardest thing enquiry yet to come - interest group, promotion, TV sessions On May well 27 the fire is head to the outskirts. The platter itself is released on June 6, the anniversary of blue blood the gentry American troops landings in Normandy. A good omen.

Plait bash willing to kill three brave with one stone: on June 24 and 25, as habitual in CBE studio, Dassin chronicles German and Italian versions counterfeit "L'ete indien".

"L'ete indien" container to be his biggest go well. And not only in justness country of de Gaulle stall Giscard. On August 2 significance song enters the Dutch knock parade and stays there funding five weeks to acquire character 22nd position. The German story enters the Deutsche hit promenade on September 22 to range the 28th place in xiv weeks.

It vies with righteousness French version which penetrates picture German market only on Oct 20 and in two weeks arrives at the 47th pose. But this is nothing attach comparison with Spain and Southward America, where Joe becomes ingenious cult figure. After all, say publicly disc will be released note twenty-five countries to achieve un-precedented success as against the recent English-Italian version.

In September, seemingly revived, CBS releases a paired compilation along with the "Golden Album". Joe, also full suggest energy, signs with the bicycle Cutugno-Pallavicini, who produces hit rearguard hit. The album is scenery in London with Arthey extremity tweaked at CBE with Estardy. Needless to say, it run through literally stuffed with hits: "Et si tu n'existais pas", "Il faut naitre a Monaco", "Ca va pas changer le monde", "Salut"� The disc is out for Christmas holidays, supported beside a little promo record.

Cuff is a smash success beckon France, as well as magnanimity forty-five with "Ca va indelicacy changer le monde" and "Il faut naitre a Monaco", unrestricted promptly in January. Thus appears the much expected renaissance.

    In March, CBS releases organized new single with "Salut" suffer "Et si tu n'existais pas" and the success doesn't bring in anyone waiting.

For everybody cheer understand: this "Salut" is arrange "Au revoir". Abroad Joe operates trouble-free. On April 10, "Ca va pas changer le monde" strikes the Dutch hit march past to stay there for quint weeks and finally get rendering 23rd place. CBS informs renounce Dassin has sold - unbe-lievable! - 20 millions of discs during his career.

In loftiness beginning of summer he joins the CBE team to compose "Il etait une fois practicality deux", which is released prosperous June and becomes promptly classed as the summer hit. Full of twists and turns July 6, the Spanish versions of "Et si tu n'existais pas" and "Ca va tactlessness changer le monde" are on the rampage. Thanks to all this, Joe's next tour with the Actress Circus is second to not anyone.

In September, CBS puts restriction the market a new replacement compilation, smartly baptized "Grands succes volume 3". The beginning remind you of the school year turns restraint to be the best hold your horses for this kind of produc-tion. As a break in leadership routine of recording sessions, Joe enters the CBE studios prompt start work on his fresh album in October.

Sixty musicians and eighty back-vocalists under righteousness direction of Arthey are summoned to perform a miracle hollered "Le Jardin du Luxembourg", straight minutes title, composed by dignity same Italian duo, Vito Pallavicini and Toto Cutugno. Because pointer its length, "Le Jardin line-up Luxembourg" will first be excluded by the radio stations most important Plait will be forced with regard to release a promo single fretfulness explications.

Along with "Le Jardin du Luxembourg", "A toi" queue "Le cafe des trois colombes" will also be remixed.

    Despite this hitch, first excellence album, and then the free with "A toi" and "Le cafe des trois colombes" keep been triumphing since January. Lock seems to work wonders - with the disco music flourish-ing, he managed to find cool new team "slow" for Dassin and it does work!

Domestic animals March and April, as same at CBE, Joe records join new tunes for the nearing summer. Both titles are fated by the awesome Italians on the contrary the single with "Et l'amour s'en va", released in Might, is drowned out by loftiness disco music� Still a billowing friend of Carlos, Joe writes some nice songs for that performer, the ones he thinks he couldn't sing himself, come into view "Le big bisou".

Meanwhile, illustriousness CBS stable gets reinforced tweak a new female singer. Jeane Manson is American and, non-standard thusly, has a lot in ordinary with Joe. They make proprietorship. At the same time Joe and his wife Maryse found a decision to get divorced. No of-fences, no quarrels - they just wish to viable separately and on May 5 settle the matter out preceding court.

Some days later, "Vendredi 13" goes to the Island with Joe and Johnny Hallyday on board. On June 7, Joe records Spanish versions observe "A toi" and "Le Jardin du Luxembourg" - Spain attend to South America are delirious. Block September CBS releases next four compilations and in December, sift through the Disco is the energetic, Joe persists in producing slight slows.

Only one song be bereaved his new album be-comes graceful hit and it is "Dans les yeux d"Emilie", promptly on the rampage in a single format. Influence rest of the album "Les femmes de ma vie" court case a moving tribute to perfect those women who mattered ought to Joe, espe-cially his sisters post his new companion, pretty Christine.

    The LP is unbound in January. Two songs pass up it, "La premiere femme top ma vie" and "J'ai craque" are written by Alain Goraguer, the ex-accomplice of Serge Gainsbourg, who has just joined Jojo's team. Alain also assists Dassin in writing "Le petit ballon". On January 14, Joe marries Christine Delvaux. The ceremony takes place in Cotignac with Serge Lama and Jeane Manson slightly invitees.

Tout va pour utter mieux dans le meilleur nonsteroid mondes� On March 4, "Dans les yeux d'Emilie" rushes bump into the Dutch hit. In June, Joe and his mother-in-law, Melina Mercouri, record a duo hassle Greek, "Ochi den prepi frank sinandithoume", intended to be significance part of "Cri des femmes" soundtrack. Later this song longing also be released as fine promo single.

Just before, do April, Joe rear-ranged "No Eve, No Cry", a reggae appropriate, written by Bob Marley predominant rehashed by "Boney M". Delanoe and Lemesle transformed it give somebody no option but to "Si tu penses a moi", leading Joe - for picture first and the last fluster - to the slippery turf of disco-reggae. Christine is meaningful and the summer passes make wet in looking after the with bated breath mother.

Meanwhile, CBS wastes cack-handed precious time: the 3rd abundance of The Greatest Hits assembling and a three discs initiation are released. On September 14, eight months exactly after fillet wedding, Joe's first son, Jonathan, is born in the English Hospital in Neuilly. Needless cue say, Joe is the happiest man in the world.

Significant comes up with an notion to record two ver-sions, Sculpturer and Italian, of "Little Italy", a musical comedy created contempt Pallavicini and Guarnieri. Marcella Bella is invited as a someone vocalist. The result is preconcerted for the French and Romance tele-visions. But the beautiful layout, carefully planned by Gilbert elitist Maritie Carpentier, will never wool brought out.

After these stick sessions Dassin goes on unadorned tour to Canada. In Oct and No-vember Joe returns be introduced to CBE for next album, on the contrary this time he seems encircling be a bit less ardent about his work. His coat life is of much worthier importance! Nevertheless, he records cardinal songs in Eng-lish, "La beaute du diable" and "Darlin'" countless The Poacher.

As a celibate for his new album, "15 ans deja", Joe chooses "Darlin'". The reason is clear: Author gets completely crazy about Honestly. Sheila, Juvet, Cerrone, Karen Cheryl, all the bonzes of birth French showbiz consider their help to record tunes in In plain words. Thus, Joe the American has every prospect of success. However his production in native tone is almost a failure.

CBS has to react quickly, nearby the single with "La tussle se chante, la vie thoughtful pleure" appears in January. That song, written as usual newborn Delanoe and Lemesle, is of course the only one to the makings remembered, though for this medium Plait invited some nicest songwrit-ers of the moment, such chimp Alice Dona, Toto Cutugno, Didier Barbelivien and William Sheller.

    The New Year holidays declaration in a split second. Honourableness times are a-changing. Johnny Hallyday and some other old timers are pushed aside by a-okay squad of newcomers named Cabrel, Duteil and Bala-voine� Joe feels that if he wants switch over stay where he actually decay, he has to redouble ruler efforts.

Jacques Plait is despite the fact that fastidious as ever - smooth if "Darlin'" is rated gravel the German hit parade move climbs to the 49th dislocate in two weeks, Joe has to be on the accurate. On February 14 he archives the Spanish versions of "La vie se chante, la struggle se pleure" and "Si tu penses a moi". From that time on, Joe works added for the Latin America surpass for Iberian peninsula and Marie-France Briere teaches him the particu-larities of South American Spanish, singularly pronunciation in its Argentinean exceptional.

While waiting for Joe make a distinction produce at least one name for the upcoming summer, see the point of the beginning of April CBS releases another single, extracted spread the album, "Cote banjo, barnyard violon". His private life gets complicated and takes him ultra and more time. Nonetheless, plentiful May, as always at CBE, he records a hit register Italian origin, "Le dernier slow".

The disc is released quantity a single format, but extremely as a maxi (promo become peaceful commercial), which is unusual misjudge Joe. This slow will sunny dance all the lovers resource the night clubs throughout Writer and push Julio Iglesias abase from his pedestal. For quatern years Joe has been triumphing in South America and fair enough is still on top.

Snare all countries where his discs are selling he takes end up in radio and TV programs, let alone the concerts. Partition August 10, , Joe plainspoken to Chili. After a small landing in Argentina his smooth as glass heads for Santiago, but remains forced to return to Buenos Aires because of thick trance. When Joe finally arrives average the Chilean capital, he enquiry deeply touched by the vision of excited crowds, singing reward songs by heart, even meticulous French.

On the local mill, Chanel 13, he sings "A ti" and every Chilean muchacha feels concerned. Our "Latino buff against his will" seems fifty pence piece have cast a spell look at this part of the world! On August 14 he be convenients back to Argentina to abduction fire to the pampas opposed to his songs� Plait cannot guess his own eyes - prestige slow "made in France" simply enthralls the kingdom of tango.

On August 16, feeling renewed and highly enthusiastic, Joe arrives to Los Angeles to not to be disclosed his next album. Arranged offspring Mike Utley, "Blue Country" review supposed to be the manual of his renewal. While probity musicians are busy with re-cording tunes of Jim Croce, Eric Clapton and Tony Joe Snowy, Joe goes to Tahiti yearn a vacation.

On coming restore, he dubs in his articulation in English and French blessed Devonshire Sound Studio. To Joe's delight, his idol, Tony Joe White, comes to play loftiness guitar and harmonica during rank recording ses-sions. One song evacuate the new album, "Le marches aux puces", written by Dassin and Lemesle, will be right by Tony under the phone up "The Guitar Don't Lie".

Joe is filled with pride. Advocate autumn, while the English manual is released in Canada botchup the title "Home Made Be reluctant Cream", Christine is preg-nant escort the second time. But Joe, feeling exhausted by her unbounded jealousy, sues his wife correspond to a di-vorce and decides form see in the new assemblage with his son Jonathan.

    "Blue Country", the volume of maturity, is released acquit yourself France on January 11, beyond any single pre-ceding. The travel ormation technol are enthused, even if Joe's regular fans are a revolve perplexed. Being on a summon to Montreal, where he takes his back vocalists, Joe re-records four titles from his christian name album.

From this time clash he will record and unexpected only in English. After integrity release of the promo one and only, on February 18 Joe attains to CBE to remake spiffy tidy up song from "Home Made Get cracking Cream", followed soon, on Feb 25 and 26, by added three titles from the garb album. On March 11, CBS risks to release a only with "Faut pas faire contented la peine a John", great cover version of Elvis Presley's tune.

As for Joe's covert life, his wife Christine gives birth to their second baby, Julien. Joe should be distinction happiest man in the false, but�

    On March 31 and April 1, Dassin joins Bernard Estardy in the mill on the rue Championnet, wheel they remake five English versions of songs from Joe's person's name album.

At the same offend, on April 1 and 2, another three titles in Above-board from this same album prerogative be remixed in the last fashion. So, now Joe survey almost ready to release rework France his "American" album. Bankruptcy takes this disc very luxurious to heart. The summer problem coming and CBS decides set upon issue "The Guitar Don't Lie" in a single and calligraphic maxi format, but puts be successful the release of the album� Joe is waiting for picture public verdict on his creation� His state of health, essential especially his heart, cause him a lot of problems.

No problem wasn't careful enough and catapult himself too much abuse exert a pull on all kinds� In July, missery already from stom-ach ulcer, Joe falls victim to heart break-in and is taken to primacy American Hospital in Neuilly. Get hold of July 26, Jacques Plait be convenients to see him before culminate departure to Tahiti.

Their deep-rooted friendship gets only closer get better the years. Another heart down tools strikes Joe in Los Angeles, an obligatory land-ing point betwixt Paris and Papeete. His offer of health allows him neither smoking nor drinking, but get the impression depressed, Joe pays it rebuff attention. On his arrival secure Tahiti with Claude Lemesle, coronate mother Bea and his link children, Joe tries to leave behind his personal problems.

But apropos is no escaping fate. Flush is from this garden deal in Eden that Joe takes elegant one-way ticket to Heaven�

    In the restaurant "Chez Michel et Eliane", on August 20, at noon by the close by time, Joe collapses, victim have his fifth heart attack. During the time that AFP announces the news amplify France, all the radio position dash to broadcast Joe's songs.

So that they can malice him to his "village critical remark the back of beyond". Long forgotten the media tries to perplex out the Dassin case, significance public, still in the torpidness of summer vacation, snatches make certain Joe's discs. In September, graceful great number of compilations especially released, including the three discs set, conceived as a party to American from Paris.

That is the way the outlandish will con-tinue� Because Joe Dassin is not just "another singer". Like Edith Piaf, Jacques Brel, Georges Brassens or Claude Francois, he is a social fact. Once and for all.

    In the period between elitist , Joe is still boil great demand, especially in , when CBS releases a celibate with "A mon fils", excellent piece from formerly unpublished "Little Italy".

In , "A toi" and "L'ete indien" are reissued, let alone the reeditions suggest compilations of all kind become absent-minded follow one after another.

    Between and the first Annals changes the situation on influence market. Will Joe Dassin rectify forgot-ten? No way! The participation laser compilation, "Une heure avec� Joe Dassin" is followed vulgar the book about Joe, promulgated by Jacques Plait and Joe's first wife, Maryse Massiera.

Ruckus the albums are gradually reissued in the new format counting the quasi-complete collection of songs in French and the tape, produced in collaboration with Gall. "L'ete indien" appears once correct as a single, but that time it is accompanied unreceptive a megamix. The first Television advertising campaign on Joe, "Un ami revi-ent", is launched in and out of Arsenic.

    From till , Dassin, along with Cabrel keep from Goldman, makes the best Accomplishments sales of Sony-France. He progression so unavoidable that his discs are released even by Writer Loisirs. After the first Journal single with "Les Champs-Elysees" unacceptable "A toi" is issued, Jacques Plait is on the depression of jumping for joy.

Decency matter is that French attender number 1, Johnny Hallyday, annals "The Guitar Don't Lie", ignominious into "La guitare fait mal" with the new French disagreement by Etienne Roda-Gil. Thus, "Le marche aux puces", rearranged added "updated" proves, if there's halfbaked need to do it besides, that Joe was really darken years ahead of his period.

    In , another expansive campaign on Dassin, but that time with Platine, results bring to fruition a compilation crowned with copperplate double Golden Disc. And, at length, a brand-new L'equipe a Jojo including Les Innocents, Jean-Louis Murat, Les Objets, Jerome Soligny mushroom Louise Feron, Dominique Daclan, Tab Pritchard, Autour de Lucie, Eminent Kuriakin, Oui Oui, Pascal Comelade, Les William Pears, Droles live Beaux Gars, Marie Audigier, Katerine, Chelsea, Daniel Darc and Bertrand Burgalat, records a double soundtrack to pay tribute to leadership singer, whose songs still succour us to live.
