Forty-seven years ago, like today, Mr. Jacques Brel took his last breath (https://tinyurl.com/8v9ptm6e). Thanks to the Orchestre symphonique de Québec, we learn that Brussels-born Brel was a remarkable pilot who adored the Québécois French language (https://tinyurl.com/ytntkw2m).
As a brief musical tribute, this post shares three of Mr. Brel’s superb songs, which are performed below by himself and by two of Québec’s most beautiful voices, Ms. Isabelle Boulay and Ms. Marie-Élaine Thibert.
Thanks to Mr. Jacques Brel for having existed. May his memory be eternal.
