What are you serious??? Rose Laurens is dead????????
Oh my God. I was just listening to Night Sky few nights ago. I had no idea.
She had a great voice and was in the original French musical version of Les Miserables.

French 80s - I like Corynne Charby, Sandra Kim & Annabelle and of course the big hits of Niagara.

I discovered this today and just listened to it for the 50th time.

Yianna katsoulos - Les Autres Sont Jaloux
https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_cont ... kghUuGjnBo

The video is perfect. I wish I was a teenager in the 80s. The 90s were too boring.

Let's precise Plastic Bertrand is belgian. Etienne Daho is still very appreciated in France. He keeps on releasing pop-rock albums and it seems that they sell very well. For those who love french synthpop, his 2nd and 3rd albums "La Notte, la Notte" and "Pop Satori" are great.

one more track from Gouts de Luxe, couldn't find an LP by them I guess they never released one. Good European synthpop

Oh wow I haven't looked into French New Wave although I have checked out Canadian, German Japanese, Italian, and Australian. I'll have to comb through here to put together a set for that too! Cheers! :D
