An Eddy Mitchell portrait!

From the album 'The whole town says ... Eddy's great!' 1964 (2nd album of that year) and recorded in London in September 64, with Big Jim Sullivan inspired guitar, but also a section of ten brass (and that was really new and not really rock 'n'roll):

- 'Always remember that a corner': the mega success of Sandie Shaw, who became the megahit Eddy ('There's always there to remind me someting' funky Hal David and Burt Bacharach); created by American Lou Johnson (totally forgotten today) and also sung in French by Sandie Shaw, this beautiful ballad triumphed in France and even around a bit in the version of Eddy; but it is that Dionne Warwick remains best known as 'through the world'!

From the album 'Alone' from 1966 (2nd album of that year) and recorded July 66 in London with Jimmy Page (this record marked the arrival of pianist Pierre Papadiamandis in the orchestra Eddy; and as the current ran particularly well between the two men, especially during the tours, so they began a collaboration that lasted just yet!):

- 'I forgot to forget' Monk / Papadiamandis: their first 'slow killer' and mega-success!

From the album 'From London to Memphis' 1967 and registered in May 67 at the studio 'Muscle Shoals' Alabama (May 67, Eddy was gone first to the United States as part of a report for 'Hi folks' and took the opportunity to record it with musicians who worked with the great r & b then):

- 'Alice' Monk / Papadiamandis: THE 'slow killer' par excellence, a classic, one of the most beautiful songs of Mr. Eddy, a huge success!

Taken from the album 'Rocking in Nashville' of 1974 and recorded in October and November 74 in Nashville:

- 'A credit and Stereo': 'No Particular Place to Go' Chuck Berry, very good!
- 'This is a rocker!' 'I'm a rocker!' Chuck Berry also; the profession of faith of Eddy, her song back, become one of the best tubes of the disk!

Taken from the album 'On the road to Memphis' late 1976 and recorded May 76 in Nashville:

- 'No boogie-woogie': resumption of 'Do not boogie woogie' Jerry Lee Lewis, who began to replace Chuck Berry as the main musical support of Eddy; this song was a real misfortune in France then and continues to be the pantheon of the best pieces of Eddy!
This first title is not on the original album, but came out at the time early in the year as a 45t for supporting the summer tour.
- 'On the Road to Memphis': a beautiful version of 'That's how I got to Memphis' legendary Tom T. Hall, inspired words for the French film "Cool Hand Luke" starring Paul Newman (always cinematographic references would also soon take Eddy before the cameras); THE song of the disc, that because of which we all ran back then purchase the 33t at its output and that we all know by heart; one of the highlights of the career of Eddy!

From the album 'The last session' of 1977 and registered in September 77 in Nashville:

- 'The last session' Monk / Papadiamandis: another pair of heads softwood 'evil' would become the generic song of a different project, televised in this case no one has forgotten; masterpiece!

From the album "After Midnight" recorded in 1978 and Sept. 78 in Nashville:

- 'It does not come tonight' Monk / Papadiamandis: for the first time since the start of this pivotal period for Eddy, he began his drive with anything other than a resumption of Chuck Berry: a new portrait of a solitary the unemployed; great song which was a real hit!

From the album 'Well done!' 1979 and registered in September 79 in Nashville:

- 'You can prepare black coffee': a cover of Jerry Lee Lewis, 'Everyday I have to cry', which became the tube of the disc; a great recovery that we all know the words by heart and that made fly the sales of the album!

Taken from the album 'Happy birthday rock'n'roll' of 1980 and recorded in Muscle Shoals, Alabama in September 80:

- 'Water Colour mint' Monk / Papadiamandis: Eddy THE classic among all thanks to which followed the album has sold more than 500,000 ex. !
- 'Happy birthday rock'n'roll' Monk / Papadiamandis: Eddy then celebrated his already 20-year career (the first Super 45s 'Socks' was recorded December 20, 1960) with this good rock (short)!

From the album 'The elephant graveyard' of 1982 and registered in April 82 in New York:

- 'The elephant graveyard' Monk / Papadiamandis: even a slow killer and entered into legend Eddy 'Version NY-!

From the album 'Roots' 1984 (2nd album of that year) and recorded July 84 in Nashville, with saxophonist 'diabolical' Boots Randolph:

- 'Like when I was a kid' Monk / Papadiamandis: a beautiful sweet song about her childhood!

Taken from the album 'Mitchell' in 1987 and recorded in the summer of 87 in Nashville:

- 'Mom' Monk / Papadiamandis: one of the absolute masterpieces of Eddy, dedicated to his mother who had just died!
- 'The skin of another' Monk / Lemaître: one of the great tracks of this disc, rhythmic, well written, really great!

From the album 'This is London!' 1989 and registered in London in the summer 89:

- 'Boot Licking blues' Monk & Bergman / Papadiamandis: one of the tubes 'heavyweights' Eddy, which is especially true for a little black humor, fairly pest!

From the album 'Rio Grande' in 1993 and registered again, but for the first time since September 80, in Muscle Shoals in Alabama:

- 'Rio Grande': the disc tube and thus the locomotive; a song which owes its arrangement slightly 'Tex-Mex' that a French trumpet added afterwards ... in Paris!

From the album 'Mr. Eddy 'in 1996 and registered for the first time in Memphis:

- 'A portrait of Norman Rockwell': a pretty slow-tribute to the famous illustrator US

From the album 'The New Adventures of Eddy Mitchell' in 1999 and recorded in Memphis in 99:

- 'I do not like happy people': one of the best songs on the disc; a very pretty ballad a little rhythm of the highest order!

A 'Best of' the best vein therefore, with some (but there are others) the most beautiful songs of Eddy! If you do not already have them, you rush!
