This is the first studio album from Michel Sardou since bad diagnosis in 1971. Olympia 71 isn’t so much a record, as a great effort at dragging you into another world. It’s natural for Michel Sardou to take a stab at ‘La Corrida N’aura Pas Lieu’ considering her long-professed love for East 17. Enjoy the show.
Once you hear Laisse-Moi Vivre, you will listen to it over and over. I find myself hearing bits of J’habite En France here and there throughout my waking hours. La Colombe (Restera-T-Il Encore) is exquisite and different song. Les Ricains is a catchy, up-tempo track that has influence of music streams without leaning too much in that direction. This song has very few things relative to that of it’s predecessor. Le Rire Du Sergent is another strong production from Michel Sardou. Vive La Mariee is a very catchy tune. Simply the finest work ever from this multi-talented singer. Lyrics of Et Mourir De Plaisir are precise and evocative. It’s such an underrated song.
