Collection: Gilbert Bécaud
Monsieur 100,000 Volts on Canadian LPs from the 1970s, mostly on Pathé. Olympia 73 (Enregistrement Public) catches him on stage, Le Bain De Minuit and Je Reviens Te Chercher gather songs on compilation, and A Little Love And Understanding, on London Records, steps out of chanson toward vocal jazz.
