Frères Sourires (15): Brel

This Month of Male needs to have a post about Jacques Brel. But instead of just posting a few brilliant Brel-songs, me and Soundofmusique decided to post some extraspecial Brel-covers. Take it away:

Everyday on French radio, France Inter, a famous talk-show (Le Fou du Roi, for podcasts, click here) invites singers to cover a French standard. A good means to forget the never-ending promotional tour of overheard artists. Here, they come to share their musical inheritance in an exclusive live performance. Franck Gelibert, the pianist of the show, plays with the artists.
Jacques Brel is probably the most covered artist in this radio show. Many 'Frères sourires' gave recently their version of his songs.
Pierre Lapointe sang Au suivant. Originally recorded in 1964, the song has also been covered by Camille & -M-.
Bénabar covered La chanson des vieux amants, originally recorded in 1967.
Florent Marchet chose Fernand (Not Brassens' Fernande), originally recorded in 1965.
And finally, the new comer, Fred K, sang Madeleine, originally recorded in 1962.

Pierre Lapointe - Au suivant
Bénabar - La chanson des vieux amants
Florent Marchet - Fernand
Fred K - Madeleine

Ofcourse there are far more Brel-covers (by men), I'd like to close the Month of Male with a monsterpost containing the 25 greatest Brel-covers. I have some lined up, but input by you, dear readers, is much appreciated.
