The Sociables prefer Pop Vol.7

Bienvenue à la partie 7 de la The Sociables.France isen't too well known for it's Pop Scene.A very selfcentered cultural politic like the 40% rate for french Artists on the Radio,helped to promote new french Music but mostly in France.That changed with in the early Ninties with artists like Philippe Katerine and Louis Philippe. Louis Philippe can be counted as an Elder Statesment of Pop.With his work for él he scored a string of independent hits in Japan and became an iconic figure for the so-called Shibuya-kei.He released some records for Cornelius Trattoria Label.More recent Artists are Tahiti 80 & Orwell who have success outside of France with their Brit Pop oriented Sound.Same with Nouvelle Vague.The Band had a huge success with their neo Lounge Covers of classic New Wave & Punk Hits.French exponents for the Nouvelle Chanson are Benjamin Biolay,Barbara Carlotti,Coralie Clément and Valerie Lemecier.She released on the wonderful Label Tricatel.Owned by Producer,Composer and Musician Bertrand Burgulat.Next Stop Italy

Percy 500:À bout de souffle

Bonne soirée.Part.5 of the Percy 500 hits the Beat Clubs of Paris.We listen to Yé-yé Boys & Girls that influence the modern Music till today.Naïve female singers like France Gall,Françoise Hardy & Jacqueline Taïeb that sang about innocent Themes.For Example in '7 Heurs Du Matin' Jacqueline Taieb wishes for Paul McCartney to help her with her English homework.France Gall with her odd Song against english Beat Music.The young singer Stella mocks the pseudo Beatnicks of her time ("When the Bohème are bored in their blue jeans, they ask their father for a job in his factory").While most male Artists were harmless, romantic boys singing mostly ballads and love songs.The 5 Gentlemen wrote a critical song about the then super-popular model Twiggy: „Little princess in the kingdom of cover girls, but your big sad eyes are crying“. The main message being that all the fame and money in the world can’t help you when you’re lonely... The Masterminds Michel Legrand,Jacques Dutronc & Serge Gainsbourg are represented with own Songs & some of their works for other Artists such as Anna Karina,Brigitte Bardot & France Gall.This Compilation woulden't be complete without „Psyché Rock“ by Pierre Henry.This out of this World Tune has been sampled and remixed millions of times, most notably by Fatboy Slim. It's the absolute Anthem for both early Electronica and French Beat Lovers. Amusez-vous

Chicks on Beat:Les filles et le beat

This the 1st Number of a New Series called "Chicks on Beat".It's dedicated to the only musical movement so far to be spearheaded by Females.The Yé-yé Girls.It has it's origin in a french Radioshow called "Salut les copains" in 1959.The program became an immediate success and one of its sections ("le chouchou de la semaine" / "this week's sweetheart") turned to be the starting point for most yé-yé singers.
For the first Time the Artists were the same Age as their Audience.France Gall(16)&
Françoise Hardy not much older become Rolemodels for a new Generation.Soon it became a European phenomenon.For "serious" Chanson Singers like Gilbert Bécaud and Charles Aznavour,yé-yé was more of a disdain.It is also a Markstone for Youth Culture as we know it.Asia developed,of course,it's own Version.More about that in the next Edition
with Beat Chicks from Japan.Have a beatiful Time with these 12 Tunes.Nous voulons à la danse?



1.Brigitte Bardot-Ca pourrait changer
2.France Gall-Le Coeur Qui Jazze
3.Stella-Beatnicks d'occasion
4.Marie Laforet-Marie douceur,Marie colère
