Product Info
The latest release on their occasional Ace International imprint comprises an hour of pure pop highlights from the career of Annie Philippe, one of France's leading yé-yé girls. Compiled by resident girl-pop buff Mick Patrick.
"Even with the passing of time, I'm still proud of my catalogue", says the lovely Annie. "I had great lyricists such as Gilles Thibaut and Jacques Revaux, and arrangers like Paul Mauriat, Jean-Claude Vannier and Christian Gaubert. Back in those days budgets were not a problem. I even had Bashung, who composed Une Petite Croix with me in mind. I love the Frédéric Botton song Les Enfants De Finlande . Frédéric was a really funny and gentle person. It was not a song written for me, but I'm very thankful for getting to sing it. I think a really nice and overlooked song in my repertoire is Bonjour, Bonsoir Et Au Revoir , composed by Le Système Crapoutchik, a Beatles-influenced act who were Jacques Dutronc's band. I even had the great drummer Daniel Ceccarelli working with me."
