Johnny Hallyday

Elle Est Terrible ! Johnny Hallyday

? Once described by the influential, international newspaper USA Today as "The greatest Rock star you never heard of", and often referred to as "The French Elvis", JOHNNY HALLYDAY was a megastar in France for very nearly sixty years, from 1960 until his death, from cancer, in 2017.

? He'd originally achieved fame as a Rock & Roll singer, very often with French language cover versions of American and/or British hit records.

? His photogenic, James Dean-esque looks guaranteed him front covers of just about every French magazine, whilst his powerful, charismatic live performances, both onstage and on television, elevated him to iconic status.

? This compilation presents the very best of his early R&R years, featuring Hallyday singing both in French and English, the latter sides recorded in Nashville during 1962.

? All thirty-two of these sides were significant hits in France, a half-dozen topping the French charts; his 'Viens Danser Le Twist' (a cover of Chubby Checker's 'Let's Twist Again') was one of the first Pop records to sell a million copies in France, alone.
