Excellent overview of BRASSENS's life and career.By reading this,you'll know the important things about him;complete discography;his relation with JEANNE and her husband;the way PATACHOU first gave him his start by featuring him in her cabaret and by recording a few of his songs;you'll also learn that his misoginy was often overlooked in the fifties.In fact,he had a great tenderness feeling for them(women).It is also very interesting to know that behind many songs hide many of his friends with whom he had a lifetime relation.BRASSENS has influenced many FRENCH singers like MAXIME LE FORESTIER and RENAUD ,who like him gave emphasis to the lyrics of their songs.There is also about BRASSENS a terrific book released this year(i hope that they will translate it in ENGLISH);it's a complete scrapbook full of pictures,featuring originals sleeve LPS among other things;the title is BRASSENS AU BOIS DE MON COEUR 30 ANS DE CHANSONS by JEAN-PAUL SERMONTE.
