Synopsis

"With nearly forty year career studded with elegant and refined compositions, Alain Chamfort is the undisputed leader of the French pop generation. He plotted, accompanied mainly by Serge Gainsbourg and Jacques Duvall of the words, the contours of a singular and timeless: Rendez-Vous au Paradis, Malaise en Malaisie, Manureva, L'ennemi dans la Glace, Bamboú, Traces de Toi, Mouse since it is serious, Clara veut la Lune, Palais Royal, and Les Beaux Yeux de Laure. A work in which seduction, compared to women, have always been paramount." (Mercury Records)^[1]
