Israeli singer Esther Ofarim performs 'Comme l'argile Je t'appartiens' live on Palmarès des chansons, February 29, 1968. (Odd coincidence that I happened to find this when it's also Feb 29th today!)

NZ-born Graeme Allwright (7/11/26–16/2/20) settled in France in the 40s. In the 60s, he became a well-known folk singer-songwriter, esp. for his French translations of Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, et al.
Here he performs his version of Cohen's 'Suzanne': https://t.co/NBeIoHFZyH

@JasonGarrattley Interesting. Never played them in close succession, so I hadn't noticed.
At first I thought it was just a bit muddier, with the vox low in the mix. But I can hear some diffs in the arrangement, too.... a low guitar in some parts, and maybe added phaser effects?
Teenaged Jodie Foster starred in the 1977 French flick 'Moi, fleur bleue' and recorded a couple of songs for its soundtrack, which were released as a 7". I quite like the B-side 'La vie c'est chouet', with its 70s synth groove. pic.twitter.com/vi22QCGsWf

@tinynoggin @vadimkosmos I'm worried that I've seen NO sign of it still existing, but *surely* RTS didn't delete it. They have the France Gall TV film 'Gallantly' by the same director. Hopefully it's just collecting dust in the archive and someone will uncover it and bestow it upon us 😉
More photos from 'Mister Gainsbourg', which aired on Swiss TV in December 1967 (got the date wrong on the first tweet, sorry!). #SergeGainsbourg pic.twitter.com/Wfgu30tQ0O
@tinynoggin @vadimkosmos December 1967. I haven't seen any sign of its existence outside of a couple of old photos, articles and TV listings.
Here's a clipping, with a list of the songs performed: pic.twitter.com/LzgKOTRwyG
I've never seen the 'Mister Gainsbourg' TV special, nor clips from it, so I truly *hope* it was preserved. I asked @RadioTeleSuisse if it's in their archive and they said no.
If you ever come across this show, please let me know! ðŸ˜@vadimkosmosm@tinynoggingin

Les Primitiv's - Dédoublement: https://t.co/KDGTCm3Ml9. The 60s band, influenced by The Yardbirds, was an earlier incarnation of prog group Ame Son. This song was written in 1965 and recorded in 1975, when the same line-up briefly reformed. #FrenchRock
Greek icon Nana Mouskouri, fluent in French & several other languages, found success in France from the 60s onward with her French-language recordings.
