I've posted pieces by Ben before. I'm a real fan. He handles American Rhythm and Soul Music so well, that it's hard for most people to accept he's just a Parisian kid who somehow channels Otis and Marvin and makes it his own thing. Here he is doing his Paris/Memphis thang singing in French. He doesn't miss a beat when he loses the mike....
L'ombre d'un Homme/The Shadow of a Man
MAN!!! Thanks for posting this! So very damn cool!
ReplyDeleteHis not from Paris; he's from Tours.
ReplyDeleteI thought I had read that he had grown up in Paris, but then I could be mistaken. He was just near here in Brive-la-Gaillarde for a show. Still, I want everyone to hear this guy! Thanks for posting!
