GEORGES MOUSTAKI:
Born in Egypt, of Greek parents of Jewish religion, Romaniotes and of Italian language, originating from the island of Corfu, he grew up in a multicultural environment (Jewish, Greek, Turkish, Italian, Arab, French) and quickly became passionate about French literature and song.

Georges came to Paris in 1951, he works in various jobs and then as a bartender in a piano bar, which led him to frequent personalities from the musical world of the time, particularly in the high place of intellectual and cultural life in Paris, the Saint-Germain-des-Prés district.
He hears Georges Brassens performing one evening; it is for him a revelation: he will not cease thereafter to refer to this master, going so far as to adopt his first name as a pseudonym. They get along very well, and Brassens gives him advice.

In 1958, he is introduced to Édith Piaf, for whom he wrote one of his most famous songs, “Milord” and with whom he would experience a short and fiery one-year affair. Edith advised him to drop the style of singing with a guitar, (known as the “left bank”) and to move on.
Throughout the 1960s, Moustaki positioned himself as a composer and lyricist for the big names in French song like Yves Montand, Barbara and Serge Reggiani, with whom he befriended. His age difference with Piaf inspires him the song “Sarah”, which will first be interpreted by Reggiani, before he himself records it in turn with his endorsement.

He then created songs that would remain among his greatest successes: "Ma solitude", "Joseph" and "Ma liberté" or "La Longue Dame Brune", which he then performed in duet with Barbara.
In 1968, influenced at the time of the events of May 68, he wrote, composed and performed Le Métèque, a romantic ballad about a slightly ethereal, dreamy, unattached stranger. It is a great international success, which marks a new beginning of his career as an artist. In January 1970, he made his first major concert as a star at Bobino. We then discover an artist who favours a warm atmosphere, close to his audience.
He created and sang thereafter many songs, gave many concerts, created the music for many films and was an actor in few films. He was awarded the title of Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur.

I was introduced to this singer, Georges Moustaki, through his disks in Switzerland by my friend at his place.
That was some 39 years back, in the year 1983.
I used to listen almost everyday at leisure time this song along with other songs of Georges Moustaki.
Through listening these songs I developed a kind of affinity with him and his voice, which exhibits a special type of emotion & vibration & lends a strong appeal to my musical bent & taste.
His lyrics are his own and full of philosophical significance.
After so many years when I am listening to these songs I am getting very much nostalgic. And I am getting transported to a wonderfully romantic world.

Thanks a lot for offering me the opportunity to listen to all these favorite songs of mine by Georges Moustaki.

Non, je ne suis jamais seul
Avec ma solitude
Non, je ne suis jamais seul
Avec ma solitude

　　いや、私はけっしてひとりではない
　　私の孤独といっしょだから
　　いや、私はけっしてひとりではない
　　私の孤独といっしょだから
