Quote
I moved this quote from the article space to here until we determine if we want it:

« In the strange world of show-business where you can find many con-artists and wind merchants, there is a distinguished man, whose look is more that of a diplomat than an artist: Franck Pourcel is discreet, modest and without pretence, this quiet man with a handsome silhouette has recorded and sold more records than most French artists combined together. His career spans the world: from Limelight and Blue Tango, to the Anthem for Concorde, and finally Only You, he is the first French conductor to have become famous in the USA. I do not desesperate to welcome him on my TV show with his 80 musicians. »

That’s the way Michel Drucker described Franck in the seventies, before inviting him twice on TV with his orchestra, in 1981 and 1984. Michel liked to tell the story of my father, who was often taken for an American, and the rising of « this calm man in the middle of French Variety ».

Wow

CopyVio!
The text of the article was lifted from http://www.franckpourcel.com. I have removed it. Material on a website is automatically copyrighted unless it is released, and I see nothing that that site has released it's data.

We are back at a stub state. Please do not copy and paste that web site again, it will just have to be removed. (CV is serious!)

It looks like there is a lot that can be added, but it can't be CV and it must be verifiable. RJFJR 16:22, 23 May 2007 (UTC)

(Not) composer of "Chariot" / "I will follow him" (?)
Seemingly trustworthy source states Norbert Glanzberg as the true composer of "Chariot". He had sold the melody to Franck Pourcel who published it under the pseudonym "J.W. Stole".

Source(in german): Astrid Freyeisen: http://schreibdasauf.info/Norbert-Glanzberg.html

Following this, if "Chariot" or "I will follow him" is included in the article, Franck Pourcel (and Paul Mauriat?) should be refered rather as the producer(s) (not [co]composer[s]).
