"Gilbert Becaud is a classic in France, believe me, I'm french. Although he first started singing during my parents youth, he is still on air. His songs are remade by young singers, they are classicals. enjoy the energy of the man who is called Mister 100 000 Volts. that's a lot!"

ONE OF MANY GREATEST HITS COLLECTION

"To resume GILBERT BÉCAUD in one single cd is nearly impossible,but that collection gives it a valiant try.Over the years,GILBERT has use the talents of three lyrics writers(AMADE,DELANOE and VIDALIN)because he is mostly a composer.Each of these lyrics writers have done well with him,and VIDALIN was certainly the most gifted(MADEMOISELLE LISE,LES P'TITES MAM'SELLES,LA VENTE AUX ENCHERES),and there are many others like LES TANTES JEANNE,ROSY AND JOHN that you can find in other greatest hits cds.For AMERICANS,BÉCAUD is the FRENCH composer who wrote LET IT BE ME and WHAT NOW MY LOVE.There is a lot more than that because he has done hundred of songs.Amazingly,his originals LPS are still not available on cd;this is a mystery to me."

"I bought my first album mid fifties in Brussels where I grew up. Since then he has remained my all time favorite french singer song writer. I have most all vinyl 33's and am replacing little by little with the cd version. Gilbert Becaud is the man!"
