Yeah, i think only Mylene surpasses him on that.

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.

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:
