this cover of a hit by Jean-Jacques Goldman by Pierre and Michael Jones is a must-listen

It has now been two years since The Goldman Legacy galvanizes the crowds… The project was set up on the initiative of Michael Jones, a long-time friend of Jean-Jacques Goldman with whom he had recorded several titles that became hits. The 72-year-old Franco-Welsh artist initially supervised the recording of two discs of covers of his sidekick’s songs, such as Not you, Just after Or Over there, reinvented with the participation of several renowned artists such as Carla Bruni, Patricia Kaas and Marina Kaye.
