Description
Elemental Music proudly presents a reissue of Claude François classic album Comme d Habitude. Along with Johnny Hallyday, François was one of the biggest stars of French rock & roll, emerging during the so-called yé-yé movement of the early 60s. Like Hallyday, his early success came mostly from French adaptations of English-language rock and folk hits, rather than from original material written specifically for him. However, his image - immaculately coiffed hair and glitzy sequined suits - played just as big a role in his popularity, and made him a major teen idol in his heyday, when fans dubbed him 'Clo-Clo.' He dressed his much-imitated quartet of backup dancers, the Clodettes, in even more flamboyant costumes (some self-designed), which gave his act a definite kitsch appeal and became a visual signature for much of his career. Appropriately for the singer who recorded the original version of the song that became 'My Way' ('Comme d Habitude') François lived the outsized life of a star, cycling through a series of high-profile affairs and acquiring a reputation for being extremely difficult to work with. Despite continued popularity, he endured a run of bad personal luck in the 70s that culminated in his freak accidental death at only 39 years old, electrocuting himself in the bathtub while changing a light bulb. -
