Podcast No. 20 starts off psychedelic with some Richard de Bordeaux & Daniel Beretta and Les Papyvores, moves in a female direction with Sophie Mansart and Christine Pilzer, and finishes up in jazz lounge with Les Double Six and Lucky Blondo.
I want to know: are there other James Bond themes in French? I own Bob Asklöf ‘Bons baisers de Russie’ (From Russian with Love)(see Podcast No. 2), Mireille Mathieu ‘Les yeux de l’amour’ (‘The Look of Love’, original Casino Royale) and Lucky Blondo ‘Tu vivras deux fois’ (‘You Only Live Twice’). I already know about Michel Legrand’s music to ‘Never Say Never Again’ and Isabelle Aubret doing ‘Savez-vous ce qu’il faut au sapin de Noël ?’ (that Christmas ditty with children singing in ‘On Her Majesty’s Secret Service’). If you know anything, please tell me by commenting here.
