jacques Brel – les bourgeois

it’s 1962. this belgian phenomenon releases his sixth album to the world. although belgian, he lived half of his life in france and sang almost all of his songs in french. his songs have been covered by david bowie, scott walker, ray charles, frank sinatra, and nina simone to name a few. he is legend as legend can be. his life’s work is expansive and complex and brilliant. if you unfamiliar with this early troubadour, start from the beginning and enjoy the ride.
