Gilbert Bécaud - Cimetière du Père Lachaise (Paris, Ile-de-France, France) - Grave of a Famous Person on Waymarking.com

[FR] Tombe du chanteur Gilbert Bécaud située dans le cimetière du Père Lachaise à Paris.
Gilbert Bécaud, né François Silly le 24 octobre 1927 à Toulon et mort le 18 décembre 2001 à Boulogne-Billancourt, est un chanteur, compositeur et pianiste français.
Au cours de sa carrière, il se produit trente et une fois sur la scène de l'Olympia, où il gagne son surnom de « Monsieur 100 000 volts » en raison de son sens du swing, du fait des passions qu'il soulevait dans son sillage et de ses fans qui, souvent, à ses débuts, cassaient par enthousiasme les fauteuils. Il laisse l'image d'un homme « électrique », toujours en mouvement. Sa cravate à pois, ses quelque quatre cents chansons et sa main sur l'oreille (pour être sûr de chanter juste) sont d’autres images spécifiques qui ont marqué les esprits.
Mes mains, Nathalie, Le Jour où la pluie viendra et Et maintenant s'inscrivent parmi les grandes chansons de l'artiste.

During his career, he performs thirty-one times on the stage of Olympia, where he earns his nickname of "Monsieur 100,000 volts" because of his sense of swing, because of the passions he raised in its wake and its fans who often, in its early days, enthusiastically broke the chairs. He leaves the image of an "electric" man, always on the move. His polka dot tie, his four hundred or so songs and his hand on his ear (to be sure to sing the right one) are other specific images that have made an impression.
