Charles Aznavour's double-disc Duos album boasts a lot of starpower and a bunch of his greatest hits, but there's less than initially meets the eye here. Sure, a quick glance at the track listing shows a long list of international superstars who team up with Aznavour to sing duets on the album, including Céline Dion, Julio Iglesias, Placido Domingo, Laura Pausini, Elton John, Johnny Hallyday, Nana Mouskouri, Sting, Josh Groban, Carole King, Paul Anka, Herbert Gronemeyer, Liza Minnelli, and Bryan Ferry. Even the late Edith Piaf, Frank Sinatra, and Dean Martin show up for duets. Moreover, the track listing reads like a greatest-hits collection, compiling the classics "Toi et Moi," "Hier Encore," and "La Bohème," among many others.

Quand Johnny se présente face à la foule du Parc de Sceaux le jour même de son anniversaire, il sait que ce concert ne sera pas comme les autres. Les nombreux artistes présents sur scène ou backstage sont là pour le lui rappeler.

Ce soir-là Johnny et son public se retrouvait une nouvelle fois pour témoigner ensemble de cette amitié qui les accompagne depuis le début des années 60.

Her career began accidentally in 1959 when she replaced her sister at the last minute in a French radio talent contest Naissance d'une étoile (birth of a star) and won. Director Louis Malle then cast the young starlet in the film he was shooting at the time, Liberté, a project he finally abandoned, making Laforêt's first appearance on screen her turn opposite actor Alain Delon in René Clément's 1960 drama Plein Soleil. At the end of the 1960s, Laforêt had become a rather distinctive figure in the French pop scene. Her music stood out, perhaps too much for her new label CBS Records, which expected of her more upbeat, simpler songs. She was interested in making more personal records, but finally gave in. Although her most financially successful singles ("Viens, Viens", a cover of the German hit ″Rain Rain Rain″, and "Il a neigé sur Yesterday", a ballad about the break-up of the Beatles) were released in the 1970s, Laforêt progressively lost interest in her singing career, moving to Geneva, Switzerland in 1978, where she opened an art gallery and abandoned music.

It's a treasure that's about to come out of cartons. Universal Music will unveil on May 29 the box set "Johnny 69", dedicated to the missing rocker and this year 1969. It will include rarities and concert recordings never published.

Innamoramento is the fifth studio album by Mylène Farmer, released on April 7, 1999. Very poetic, all texts were written by Mylène Farmer who also composed the music for five songs. The album deals with the singer's anxieties, such as pain, unhappy love, sexuality and the passage of the time. But as the album's title suggests, love is the central theme of the latter. The album is slower and with less rock sonorities than Anamorphosée. The sound is more techno-pop and intimate. In 2000, Innamoramento won a NRJ Music Awards in the category 'Francophone album of the year'.
