Stephan Pompougnac - Sous de Soleil (here's a clip with this song..I love his this song). I believe he is a DJ in France(not sure) My son is a fan of his music,that's how I found out about him. I understand he is part of hotel costas - which includes various artists or something like that.

[Edited 5/25/08 10:59am] That is indeed a nice song with Spanish influences. Are you American? Besides French/Canadian singers do they broadcast any French musicians in the US? There's never a minute that I find

When it comes to French music , I'm "old school" that is stuck in the 80s : Michel Berger , France Gall's husband, a brilliant composer and musician who wrote for so many other artists ( he died in his early 40s), Jean Jacques Goldman( also brilliant musician) and Francis Cabrel who has the most beautiful ballads.I loved the band ' Gold" when I was a teenager . | |

Never heard of them. I looked up Jean Jacques Goldman, his songs sound very at ease, nice to hear. It's such a waste that mostly British and American music gets played here, that's fine because I like that the most but if something isn't given a chance you can never enjoy it and there are so many French artists. I'm pretty old school too. Jean-Michel Jarre - Oxygene IV Penguins http://nl.youtube.com/wat...4oSXmnkPUU A classic that even the rest of the world must know: Jane Birkin & Serge Gainsbourg - Je T'aime Moi Non Plus http://nl.youtube.com/wat...u660EWj03Y Vanessa Paradis - Joe le taxi http://nl.youtube.com/wat...rqpod29LzQ Patrick Bruel and Julien Clerc have nice songs, I even like some of Charles Aznavour. Sash had a hit with encore une fois, not really my taste. Cheb Khaled with Aisha. And I'm trying to recall a "recent" pop song, about 2-3 years ago. Got a lot of airplay on MTV. A girl driving in a sportscar somewhere along the coast at the Cote D'azur and in the end she's in a speedboat and a guy is tied up at the back and she's smiling. I liked that song a lot. There's never a minute that I find

[Edited 5/25/08 10:59am] That is indeed a nice song with Spanish influences. Are you American? Besides French/Canadian singers do they broadcast any French musicians in the US? I see now that the video that I posted, is no longer available (Stephen Pompougnac) amazing, just one day and now the vid is gone. Oh well, anyway, I am American. Also, I asked my son, if he knew of any French artists shown on American tv, he said he's not sure if they show this guy on tv here, but his name is Matt Poroka, and he has been compared to timberlake (although I am not a timberlake fan) - if you can get this video to play, you can watch him on this link:. http://www.vbox7.com/play:02cf6e04 [Edited 5/26/08 8:22am] http://prince.org/msg/15/286132

My favourite French singer is Vanessa Paradis and these are my favourite songs:
"When Michael Jackson is just singing and dancing, you just think this is an astonishing talent. And he has had this astounding talent all his life, but we want him to be floored as well. We really don´t like the idea that he could have it all." | |

I'm very much in a French (and Brasilian) mood these days and I'd like to share one of my faves with you.
