He says he was born in Paris, his mother was born in Geneva and his father (still alive) was born in Brazil. Zizi Jeanmaire reveals that the lyrics of "Mon truc en plumes" originally had different lyrics by Jean that were rewritten by Bernard Dimay because Jean did not feel like writing other ones. Jean says that he felt like doing music for a living because he met composer Michel Legrand. He also tells of his meeting with Edith Piaf. His wife, singer Lucie Dolène, talks about his private life. The interviewer says that Frank Sinatra has recorded a version of the song Ma gigolette, written by Jean. Written by Greg Philip {greg_philip@hotmail.com} See less
