Avez vous écouté "sixteen tons" par notre Joe ? Un régal ! Bye bye Louis est bien aussi !

@@specodduszy better said melancholic songs. But he also has a lot of joyful songs and even comic songs. Especially the ones composed by himself are joyful and funny.

He liked France and the French music maybe because he arrived in France at the age of 13 and he was impressed by it. He always loved America and he was proud of being American, he went there every year, he even went to study at the University of Michigan, where he also was a professor of anthropology for a time and where he received a prize, a Hopwood Award for one of his short novels he wrote (in English, of course) at that time. He spoke French very well, indeed, but he always kept his American accent and his style was always American. How he said, he sang French music in his American style. He lived in two worlds, how it is named his second album "Les Deux Mondes De Joe Dassin". But his first album was "Joe Dassin A New York" and it was recorded at New York, in November 1966. I also didn't know that he was an American, years ago, I found out that only much later. Now he is in his beloved America, for ever!
