The late French singer-songwriter, guitarist, composer, and actor Sasha Distel died on July 20, 2004 (https://shorturl.at/0OXXC). This brief post will honour him with his own beautiful voice.
Bambi used to listen to Mr. Distel’s songs in Beirut during her childhood and teenage years. She likes many of them, particularly the Christmas related-ones and a song, which celebrates the ocean. It is entitled “Le bateau blanc” [The White Boat]. How could she not like the latter when it reminds her of wonderful summers, despite civil war, with family and childhood friends. Indeed, she grew up by the most beautiful sea (yes, she remains biased about the Mediterranean sea; so what?). Anyhow, even if she left the latter 34 years ago, she is lucky to currently live near the majestic Atlantic ocean?
Of note, Mr. Distel who had an “internationally” charming smile sang in German, Russian, Italian, and English in addition to French (as you can notice below). May his memory be eternal, today more than ever.
To conclude this post, Bambi will offer Mr. Sasha Distel’s last love song entitled “Les mots stupides” to Bente, if she happens to be reading this post. The reason is simple: she sings it very well, bravo to her. Who knows? Maybe she will practice it again, if she wishes :).
