M&J ,

is the debut album of popular French singer and model Vanessa Paradis. It was released in 1988 and featured the hit single “Joe le Taxi”.
The album’s lead single was the enormously popular song “Joe le Taxi”, which made Paradis an overnight sensation. The song became a major hit not only in France, where it charted at number 1, but also in the UK, Sweden, Norway and other countries.

The album’s more acclaimed single, however, was the affecting tribute to Marilyn Monroe entitled “Marilyn & John”. The song, including its English language version, was considered far superior to “Joe le Taxi”, and Vanessa performed this song at virtually every awards ceremony during the 1987-1989 season. An obscure Spanish version of the track also appeared and charted. ….Read More

Patricia Kaas ,

(born December 5, 1966 in Forbach, France) is a French singer and actress.

Kaas is one of the most successful French-speaking singers in the world. Stylistically her music is not classical chanson, but is closer to a mixture of pop music, jazz and chanson.

Since the appearance of her debut album Mademoiselle chante… in 1988 Kaas has sold over 16 million records worldwide. She had her greatest success in, e. g., Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Canada, Russia, Finland, and Korea with her third album Je te dis vous. Kaas is almost constantly on tour internationally. In 2002 Kaas had her film debut in And now… Ladies and Gentlemen beside Jeremy Irons. Kaas is currently on “Kabaret” world tour since the end of 2008. Kaas represented France in the Eurovision Song Contest 2009 in Moscow, Russia and finished in 8th place.

1995–1996: Black Coffee

In the middle of the 1990s the album Black Coffee was produced, an enigma in Kaas’ career. In 1995 it was decided to produce a work specially for the American market containing exclusively English lyrics. Rumours state that the album was never officially sold. It occasionally becomes available in online auctions, however, but the authenticity of these records is in doubt.

The title track of the album is a cover version of the Billie Holiday song of the same name and was likewise published by Kaas on the 1997 sampler Jazz à Saint-Germain (release by Virgin). Other cover versions on the album include classics such as the Bill Withers number Ain’t No Sunshine (which was taken for advertissement music for the Club Mediterranée) from 1971 and If You Leave Me Now by Chicago from 1976. ….Read More
