Claude François was the great popular figure of French music in the sixties and seventies. 1962 was the year he made his debut, and Jean-Baptiste Mersiol chose to highlight that year from the perspective of the artist’s music. In this set Claude François moves from “Kôkô”, the famous unknown twister, to “Cloclo”, the idol of France’s youth thanks to his first great hit, “Belles, belles, belles.”
