Hello everyone!

I'm reaching out to hopefully finally find the holy grail I've been searching for for years! It was a song from the 90s, "La Bohème" (but possibly under a different title), sung by a man (possibly a group but I'm not sure), in French, in a very R'n'B style! It was on a cassette, but which one I don't remember. I've searched a lot, especially for covers, but found nothing! If anyone knows, that would be amazing :D!

    Hello,

    there is the song by

    Julio Iglesias: "Poor devils (you women)".

    But it dates back to 1979.

      Hello

      The story comes from a book by Murger that directly inspired the theater since 1830, but which endures:

      Transposition to the "AIDS years":

       Then it inspired Puccini and his opera, of course, from the 1890s for him, which also endures.

      If we turn to French song from the "1990s", "La Bohème" is from the period when Charles Aznavour sang and sang again his song, with various styles over the years as his music evolved since the world war, but the song remained, hence the dates of different "recordings-editions".

      A sociological study is very interesting, even if it is only conducted on a part of the "bohemian" periods, Puccini and Aznavour both address the same theme, in cultural circles but not only:

        Re: 1965 seems to be the year of the first release of "La Bohème" composed by Charles Aznavour and written by Jacques Plante, initially for an operetta, with the first record releases probably in 1966.
