          C. Jérôme, né Claude Noël Gérard Dhôtel le 21 décembre 1946 à Paris et mort dans la même ville le 14 mars 2000, est un chanteur français, notamment connu pour les titres Kiss Me(1972), Himalaya(1972), C'est moi(1974), Cindy(1976) et Et tu danses avec lui(1985).

           Et tu danses avec lui est une chanson écrite par Jean Albertini sur une musique de Didier Barbelivien.

        Elle est proposée en 1979 par Barbelivien à C. Jérôme qui la refuse, avant de retrouver la cassette plusieurs années plus tard et de décider de finalement l'enregistrer en 1985.

       Le single est un succès. Il se vend à environ 700.000 exemplaires et relance la carrière de C. Jérôme. La chanson entre dans le Top 50 en septembre 1985, et atteindra la 2^e position. La même année, au Québec, elle est également enregistrée par René Simard.

         En 2009, Didier Barbelivien la reprend sur son álbum Atelier d'artistes.

Tu n'as jamais dansé

Aussi bien que ce soir

Je regarde briller

Tes cheveux blonds dans le noir

 

Tu n'as jamais souri

Si tendrement je crois

Tu es la plus jolie

Tu ne me regardes pas

 

Et tu danses avec lui

La tête sur son épaule

Tu fermes un peu les yeux

C'est ton plus mauvais rôle

 

Et tu danses avec lui

Abandonnée, heureuse

Tu as toute la nuit

Pour en être amoureuse

 

Je suis mal dans ma peau

J'ai envie de partir

Il y a toujours un slow

Pour me voler ton sourire

 

Et tu flirtes avec lui

Moi, tout seul, dans mon coin

Je n'sais plus qui je suis

Je ne me souviens plus de rien

 

Et tu danses avec lui

La tête sur son épaule

Tu fermes un peu les yeux

C'est ton plus mauvais rôle

 

Et tu danses avec lui

Abandonnée, heureuse

Tu as toute la nuit

Pour en être amoureuse

 

Et tu danses avec lui

Et tu danses avec lui

Et tu danses avec lui

Et tu danses avec lui

 

Avec lui, lui. 

YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE

ANDY WILLIAMS

SONGWRITERS: RICHARD RODGERS & OSCAR HAMMERSTEIN II

COUNTRY: U. S. A.

ALBUM: COLUMBIA RECORDS

LABEL: YOU’LL NEVER WALK ALONE

GENRE: POP

YEAR: 1958

 

           Howard Andrew "Andy" Williams (December 3, 1927 – September 25, 2012) was an American singer. He recorded 43 albums in his career, of which 15 have been gold certified and three platinum certified. He was also nominated for six Grammy Awards. He hosted The Andy Williams Show, a television variety show, from 1962 to 1971, along with numerous TV specials. The Andy Williams Show won three Emmy awards. The Moon River Theatre in Branson, Missouri, is named after Henry Mancini's and Johnny Mercer's "Moon River", which Williams recorded. He sold more than 45 million records worldwide, including more than 10 million certified units in the United States.

Williams was active in the music industry for over 70 years until his death in 2012.

          "You'll Never Walk Alone" is a show tune from the 1945 Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel. In the second act of the musical, Nettie Fowler, the cousin of the protagonist Julie Jordan, sings "You'll Never Walk Alone" to comfort and encourage Julie when her husband, Billy Bigelow, the male lead, accidentally falls on to his knife whilst trying to run away after attempting a robbery with his mate Jigger and dies in her arms. The song is reprised in the final scene to encourage a graduation class of which Louise (Billy and Julie's daughter) is a member. The now invisible Billy, who has been granted the chance to return to Earth for one day in order to redeem himself, watches the ceremony and is able to silently motivate Louise and Julie to join in with the song.

          The song is also sung at association football clubs around the world, where it is performed by a massed chorus of supporters on match day; this tradition developed at Liverpool F.C. after the chart success of the 1963 single of the song by the local Liverpool group Gerry and the Pacemakers. In some areas of the UK and Europe, "You'll Never Walk Alone" became the anthem of support for medical staff, first responders, and those in quarantine during the COVID-19 pandemic.

      Besides the recordings of the song on the Carousel cast albums and the film soundtrack, the song has been recorded by many artists, with notable hit versions made by Roy Hamilton, Frank Sinatra, Roy Orbison, Billy Eckstine, Patti Labelle & The Bluebelles, Gerry and the Pacemakers, Regine Velasquez, Lee Towers, Judy Garland, Gene Vincent, Elvis Presley, Johnny Cash, Andy Williams, Glen Campbell, The Brooklyn Bridge, Olivia Newton-John and Doris Day. Progressive rock group Pink Floyd took a recording by the Liverpool Kop choir, and "interpolated" it into their own song, "Fearless", on their 1971 album Meddle.

When you walk through a storm hold your head up high

And don't be afraid of the dark.

At the end of a storm is a golden sky

And the sweet silver song of a lark.

Walk on through the wind,

Walk on through the rain,

Tho' your dreams be tossed and blown.

Walk on, walk on with hope in your heart

And you'll Never Walk Alone,

You'll Never Walk Alone.

        Marsalis family, American family, considered the “first family of jazz,” who (particularly brothers Wynton and Branford) had a major impact on jazz in the late 20th and early 21st centuries. The family includes Ellis(b. November 14, 1934, New Orleans, Louisiana, U.S.—d. April 1, 2020, New Orleans) and his sons Branford (b. August 26, 1960, Breaux Bridge, Louisiana), Wynton(b. October 18, 1961, New Orleans), Delfeayo(b. July 28, 1965, New Orleans), and Jason(b. March 4, 1977, New Orleans).

         Ellis Marsalis began as a tenor saxophonist but switched to piano while in high school. After earning a music degree from Dillard University and serving in the U.S. Marines, he worked for the AFO (All-for-One) record label in the late 1950s, recorded with brothers Nat and Julian (“Cannonball”) Adderley in 1962, and was trumpeter Al Hirt’s pianist during 1967–70. It was as a jazz educator, however, that he made his greatest mark. In 1974 he began teaching at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts, where his pupils included Harry Connick, Jr., Terence Blanchard, Donald Harrison, Nicholas Payton, and Kent and Marlon Jordan, as well as his own six sons, four of whom became celebrated musicians. The success of his sons resulted in Ellis’s attaining stardom in the 1980s, and he recorded steadily thereafter.

        All five members of the Marsalis family were named Jazz Masters by the National Endowment for the Arts in 2011.

When you left me lonely here

I thought that I would drown in tears

As one was wiped away

Another one would take it's place

Drop by drop as time went by

I slowly ran that river dry

Until I finally realized today

 

That I've cried my last tear for you

Wasted my last year on you

There's no trace of the heartache I knew

It's been raining pain since you walked out

Baby that's all over now

'Cause I've cried my last tear for you

 

I use to lay alone in bed

With my pillow soaking wet

And all of those lonely nights

I thought there was no end in sight

I cried my heart out over you

Then I cried the hurt out too

It took awhile but now I'll be alright

 

That I've cried my last tear for you

Wasted my last year on you

There's no trace of the heartache I knew

It's been raining pain since you walked out

Baby that's all over now

'Cause I've cried my last tear for you

Yeah, baby I've cried my last tear for you.
