Although Claude François aka Cloclo is not really a heavy hitter on Radio Oh la la – I’m still looking for a lot of stuff by him – I have a story about Cloclo to tell.

One of my business partners said his nanny had old records she wanted to get rid of. Like any self-respecting DJ, I had to see for myself, because you never know. I scored a bunch of Claude François LPs and singles, including a signed copy of “Comme d’habitude”. Not bad at all!

C’est Extra at Backstage Lounge of the Arts Club Theater sur Granville Island, 1585 Johnston Street, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. Frenchy jazzy swing.

Every twist band needs their very own twist theme and Viens dansez le twist is what the guys from Les Chaussettes Noires cooked up back in 1961.
