Wight is Wight is song song written and performed by French singer Michel Delpech in 1969. It sold one million copies.
The song refers to the first Isle of Wight (UK) Festival that took place in 1969. The festival attracted an audience of approximately 150,000 who came to see very famous artists like Bob Dylan, The Band, The Who, Free, Joe Cocker, the Bonzo Dog Band and the Moody Blues.
The festival was a British version of the Woodstock festival that happened just a few weeks prior in New York. However, contrary to Woodstock, the Isle of Wight festival was well managed and trouble free…
Succès Fou - Christophe (1983)
One night, while strolling in Paris, Christophe's attention is drawn to the window of a perfume boutique in which he sees a bottle called "Succès Fou".
He then had the idea of making a song about a crush that no woman can resist. The lyrics were written in one night.
Succès Fou will live up to its title since the record will sell more than 700,000 copies and allow the singer to make another sensational comeback.
Note that the videos are subtitled in both French and English.
