Yeah, i think only Mylene surpasses him on that.

Daho was aweome in the 80's and he'd lurk around nightclubs smoking and casting smoldering glances.

L'ennui, cette maladie de tous les (Michael White), Monday, 2 April 2012 22:25 (thirteen years ago)

No music video but I'm so into his and Arnold Turboust's cover of The Velvet Underground's Sunday Morning:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1JAxA3pcJQ

Also—can't say I love this video (though it does include guest appearance from Lio!) but another delightful Daho + Turboust collaboration:

I was listening to this lost hit from Paparazzi, a sort of Québécois Erasure. At the time they compared his voice to Edith Piaf.

Which I think have a very similar chord progression/overall mood?

daavid, Monday, 11 December 2017 17:35 (seven years ago)

Lots of jazzy sophistipop was coming out in France in the late 80's. If you like this stuff check out Patricia Kaas, Pauline Ester, Maurane (from Belgium) and this classic, "Un Soir de Pluie" by Blues Trottoir:
