Laurent Voulzy-Rockollection (1977)

Laurent Voulzy will go down in history for a revival song that was a worldwide hit in 1977 and that even today is used very frequently on radio stations around the world.
Born in Paris in 1948, he began his career in the mid-seventies collaborating with the author and singer Alain Souchon, a member of the Pascal Dane orchestra, as well as composing for other artists, among other tasks, until at the end of 1976 he signed a contract with the RCA to publish their own compositions.
A year later he published a 15 minute song entitled "Rockollection" which became number one in many countries worldwide during the year 77.
In 1979 he published "Le Coeur Grenadine", his first album after the triumphant hit "Rockollection", a work quite far from his star song in which only the song that gives title to the LP stands out, a good soft pop ballad and the version of the Serge Gainsbourg's song "Qui Est In, Qui Est Out"
Years later, a 1989 compilation album titled Belle Ille In Mer, brings him back to the charts thanks to the excellent post "Rockollection" songs such as "Surfing Jack", "Les Nuits Sans Kim Wilde" (a tribute to the British singer Kim Wilde) or the ballad "My song of You".
However the jewel of this album is a song composed in 1978 entitled "Bubble Star", one of the best French power pop songs in history an irresistible beatle flavor theme.
His next work, Voulzy, focuses more on the fields of singer-songwriter with a careful production and impeccable sound, but nevertheless detrimental to his compositions, although he retained that revival of yesteryear in the song "Le Povoir Des Fleurs", with a splendid pop rock style American.
