Katy, Annie, Sophie, Agnès et Helena

Right before I go down to the deep south to play some rekkids to welcome 2006, I leave you with some soulful coverversions by various filles sourires - inspired by the brilliant soulcovers posted by Schlocker.

Some of the girls, like Helena Lemkovitch and Annie Philippe, have been featured before. Others, like Katy David, I know nothing about. And Agnès Loti and Sophie, I was just awaiting the right time to post a song of these ladies.

Like I said, it's all soulful covers. Katy David is doing a joyous version of the standard Call Me, easily translated to Plus Tard. Helena Lemkovitch, who covered songs from Francoise Hardy and Cyndi Lauper, is doing Ronnie Spectors signature song Be My Baby, translated to Reviens Vite et Oublie. In fact, that's a cover as well, because Sophie sang that one before Helena. From Sophie (her real name was Arlette, also a good stage name, mind you) you get her version of the Tom Jones-classic It's Not Unusual, in French that would be Je Ne Fais Pas D'Histoires.

From Agnès Loti you get C'est Toi Mon Idole, a French version of the first worldwide reggae-hit My Boy Lollipop by Millie. And there's the lovely Sophie Finally, Annie Philippe's version of the Supremes-hit Baby Love. The title was kept en francais.
