Nina Simone did a cover of "Ne Me Quite Pas", the accent is funny.
Brel is yet another one I have to learn more about...

Yes, I have that cover too, it's quite funny. It's on the album "my way"

I'm listening to "La Chanson des Vieux Amants", ah such beauty... more people should listen to Brel... btw this doesn't really fit in world/folk, mmm I doesn't fit in any forum actually... maybe general music...

I've only heard of Brel through Scott Walker's versions of his songs. I really like Jackie, it's absolutely hilarious - even my roommates like that song. I've been meaning to listen to Brel doing his own songs, I'm just afraid of the language barrier.
