Marc Aryan, born Henri Markarian son of Armenian parents in Valence, france, on 14 november 1934.

Dude is dude for being autodidact, a selfmade man, who started in music by recording his first song in 1959 in paris. He moved to belgium "Knokke-le-Zoute" to play in a night club. A good way to promote his own material to wich he owns all the credits.

After a short international carreer (belg, france, turkey and armenia) he set up a studio where he did mainly production work for others. It was here where "Born to be alive" was recorded (first backing vocals by madonna) and Marvin gaye, who took 8 months to record "Midnight Love" in 1981.
Belgium knows marc best for his big hit ???la lettre??? in 73 wich flip should move all strutteurs in marc???s direction.

    that song is my jam... Intox is good, too... there is a 3 year period where every Ferrat LP has one dope tune... Alain Goraguer gets one song an LP to go nuts on, i guess...

    Don't know why but divshare is telling me this track is password protected.

    I dig some chanson stuff (my mother used to listen to Joe Dassin and Francoise Hardy a lot). Especially the singers with jazz backgrounds like Boris Vian.



    Richard Anthony and Serge Reggiani are some other favorites. My french is awful but it's enough to get an general idea of the lyrics.

    This is not exactly chanson but anyway - watch this movie if you haven't yet:



    (Le parapluies de Cherbourg)

    (Le parapluies de Cherbourg)

    les parapluies is a bit too smoosh for my taste

    Still doesn't work. Perhaps my internet is warped or somethin.

    I wouldn't blast the OST at home although there are some nicer uptempo swingy parts that I coudn't find on youtube. But the whole movie with the ultra-saturated colors and the complete dialogue sung is a great piece of art while I imagine it might be over the top for others.

    BTW, Magalie Noel is also a great interpreteuse of Boris Vian chansons.



    Fait moi mal Johnny

    Isabelle Aubret has some decent stuff,too.

    sorry couldnt find a vid of ferrat.

    that aubret is a bin-classic over here.

    with michel you cant go wrong. no mathers who's singing.

    i need to check that kino, ein polizist

    i accidentally have doubles of the parapluies de Cherbourg OST. If anyone wishes to trade for wax or cash, just PM.

    Took me some time to figure out what you mean. Yep, the movie looks great and from my experience yo can't go wrong with the combination Jean-Pierre Melville - Alain Delon. Le Samourai is a long time favorite.


  • fejmelbafejmelba 1,139 Posts
    love samourai

    found this on video the other week.

    Nothing to do with chancons really but also French,
    you can start watching from 1:15 with audio on full blast but the movie bit is also fun to watch:

    just checked that Ferrat, it did not work for me... maybe i'll upload it later if need be...

    i only fuck w/ the isabelle aubret stuff serge gainsbourg wrote for her...

    boris vian is a fucking king!

    this record blows me away... it's just so well done...

    but for w/ chanson, i can only deal w/ it if something else is added... like Vian adds jazz, Gainsbourg adds jazz, latin, and african influences, Ferrat has Goraguer doing the arrangements, people like Hallyday, Mitchell, and Rivers add rock... but pure chanson singing is a tough one for me...

    i admittedly listen more to the people who cover american tunes like Claude Francois...

    it's hard for me, b/c as an American, i even hear chanson in someone like Polnareff... he's like chanson mixed w/ Bowie...
