Non vous ne rêvez pas, c'est bel et bien la tête de Jojo sur RPUT aujourd'hui! mais attendez, ne partez pas...non!!!! hop trop tard, je vous ai rattrapé! Oui c'est un 45t de Hallyday, celui avec sa très célèbre (mais inférieure à l'original) reprise de black is black de Los Bravos. Il y a cependant une petite subtilité, en plus des deux titres chantés par Johnny, il y a deux morceaux instrumentaux signé du groupe qui l'accompagne: les Blackburds. En 1966 Hallyday revient du service militaire, pour ne pas être has-been il veut se lancer dans la musique beat et rnb, alors il va se servir dans le backing band de sa femme Sylvie, et y pioche deux musiciens anglais venu tenté leur chance en France: Mick Jones (celui de Foreigner) et Tommy Brown. Les deux english joignent leur force avec des musiciens du cru notamment un certain Papillon ancien Lionceaux, et surtout future Triangle, le groupe comprend aussi (mais apparement pas sur ce disque) dans ses rangs un certain Gerard Pisani futur Martin Circus et compositeur de leur premier gros tube "je m'éclate au Sénégal". Bref cette équipe loin d'être bras-cassé fait le voyage à Londres et part enregistré aux studios Olympic avec un mec pas très connu qui s'appelle Giorgio Gomelsky, oui oui le manager des Yardbirds et boss du label Marmelade (Blossom Toes, et surtout Brian Auger & the Trinity)...Evidemment qu'avec une telle équipe de choc le résultat ne pouvait pas être foncièrement mauvais, et effectivement les deux titres instrus, sans être culte sont de bons jerks bien efficaces, et oh miracle le 45tours est pas cher (merci Johnny!) et en plus ça a été réédité en cd (par magic), que demande le peuple?
Oh no no no, no Jojo on RPUT...and yes it's a Johnny Hallyday 7 inches, but not a Johnny's track, it's actually an instrumental track by his backing band: les Blackburds. When Johnny came back from the military service in 1966 he wanted to get this british/american flavour doing some beat & rnb tunes, so he took the best 2 musicians in the Sylvie Vartan's backing band: Mick Jones (best known to be part of Foreigner) and Tommy Brown. The two guys formed a band with french musicians, including Papillon wich was before in les Lionceaux, and will be known a few years after in Triangle, and even at a time (not on this track i presume) the great Gerard Pisani best known for beein in the early line up of Martin Circus, and be writer of their first big hit "je m'éclate au Sénégal". The group went to record with Johnny in England, in the Olympic Studio with a certain Giorgio Gomelsky...i think this guy was a bit important at this time in England, and he had this label...Marmelade, with acts like the Blossom Toes, and you know that british cool organist...Brian Auger and the Trinity! All this world went to record two instrumentals tracks for this Johnny ep, and it sounds good! I have to say to finish this little "name dropping" (actually quite funny to see how the things are linked!) that the 7 inches is quite easy to find in France, and for people which prefers cd, it's available on the Micky and Tommy anthology by Magic!
