“Express yourself” video reminds me a lot this one

Axel Bauer is a very talented artist. Multi-instrumentalist, warm voice, he has several albums to his credit but rare dazzling successes, that's really a shame (or not). I highly recommend his album "Personne n'est parfait", where unlike the title, everything is perfect, and especially the eponymous song. Obviously his duet with Zazie is extremely well done ("A ma place"). And then his live album "Ferber" is a real gem, with notably very successful covers of his golden hits "Cargo" and "Éteins la lumière". And then his magnificent and powerful cover of Christophe, "Les mots bleus"

Axel Bauer is a great guitarist too. Some people think that the solo is a synth sound but it actually is a guitar played by Axel himself. He used to be a session musician.

If I remember well, Madonna was so impressed with this video that she later worked with its director. 😉

Best song (team Axel)

1984 boobis on french TV at day time. ANd everthing wa ok... First Black and White video clip. This is a piece of History by Jean Baptiste Mondino. His style will be copied in all modern black and white creations. Great rythm guitar and Guitar Solos. Very original playing solos with no saturation at all. Wich is rare. 🙂

So glad you had a chance to view this video. The naked woman is Sonia Dronier (she was the girlfriend of Bauer at the time and she had a career as a singer, her stage name was Viktor Lazlo). Interesting anecdote about «Cargo de nuit», Bauer was doing a tv show in France and he heard a musician yelling about the fact his guitar was missing. He made so much noise that Bauer went to see him to lent him one of his guitars. The musician was Roger Daltrey. This latter saw the performance of Bauer on the show, loved the song and made an english version of it. You can look on YT for «Roger Daltrey - Take me home». In recent years Bauer also did a nice version of his song, you can look for «Axel Bauer - Cargo | Live à Ferber | #1». Finally Bauer has a grown son who made his debut on tv with the french version of «the voice». You can see Jim Bauer by searching for «James Brown - It's a Man's Man's Man's World | Jim Bauer | The Voice France 2021 | Blinds...». Cheers!

The guy is an underrated musician and sadly have really do this one as a really out of the crowd track. Best to you dude.

I was so happy when I saw your "Derack Approvs" because I like so much this artist, nice composer singer and AWESOME guitar player. From him you could also check "Eteins la lumière" and a duet with another fantastic french artist Zazie with the song "A ma place". I loved this video, when the song was out we could see it late (nude girl...) it explains the contrast between the life on a boat long time with a lot of men together, the desire, the fantasies. At this period, the "gay fashion" was everywhere, with all those bodybuilders, muscles, etc... with bands like Frankie goes to hollywood, maybe also to change the way we used to see gay men (before, when we thought about gay men, we could think men acting like girls, I know now in 2021 it seems weird but it's was like this). The gay community loved so much this song, so Axel Bauer didn't talk immediatly about his sexuality, to stay ambiguous, in fact he's heterosexual, but he didn't want to disappoint the gay fans. He still have a lot of fans, but we don't see him very often in show business, he prefers to stay far from glitters, and he's really great live. Fun fact: the nude girl appearing in this clip is a french singer and actress named Viktor Lazlo.

The remix replicant is stunning.

The 1937 film Pépé le Moco that inspired Cargo de Nuit was also the inspiration for Looney Toon character Pepe le Pew, that mimics the mannerism of its lead actor Jean Gabin.

Axel has another crazy sexy song: "Phantasmes" you would like it I guess, I would probably rates his vinyls on my channel cause the visuals are great too...!

Très bon choix. Une des chansons qui a le plus marqué mon enfance. Les sonorités orientales et la guitard sont restées ancrées en moi et ont influencé mes goûts musicaux. Il y a une super version live récente, également, et cela vaux le coup car Axel Bauer est un super guitariste. Cargo de Nuit 1984, bien avant les clips de Georges Mickael. Le clip est de Mondino, comme Tandem de Vanessa Paradis... Very good choice. One of the songs that marked my childhood the most. The oriental sounds and the guitar have remained anchored in me and have influenced my musical tastes. There's a great recent live version, too, and it's worth it because Axel Bauer is a great guitarist. Cargo de Nuit 1984, long before Georges Mickael's music videos The clip is by Mondino, like Tandem by Vanessa Paradis ...

YES FINALLY "Cargo de nuit". As highly recommanded, i was afraid you wouldn't like it. But you did and approved it ! This song is one of the biggest examples from 80's in France. I remember the boobies but not the... you know... Anyway...

Hi Dereck ! Do you enjoy new wave and disco ? I propose the single " Manureva " by Alain Chamfort , 1979 . The lyrics written by Serge Gainsbourg talk about the boat Manureva. Alain Colar , the sailor of the Manureva , has literally disappeared in the ocean. What is really happened , in 1978 ? Where are you , Manureva ? It is a mystery !

❤❤❤❤❤🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵🇨🇵

Hi again Dereck. Iconic video and song from our beloved 80s... you should try another French song from a great band of that time: Les Negresses Vertes songs: (Zobi la mouche, Voilà l’été, la Bodega)

Listen to the band " Le Club" song is " un fait divers et un rien de plus" ...pure 80's french...Peace.

Funny but that's what i was thinking. It has this 1930's french movie feel to it. Turned out it was inspired by 'Pepe le Moko' with the awesome Jean Gabin.
