Goldman, 40 ans de chansons

A typically star-studded musical spectacle on TF1 tonight paying tribute to songwriter Jean-Jacques Goldman on the 40th anniversary of his career.

Goldman, who now lives a quiet life in London, has all but retired from the music scene but the 2012 Generation Goldman tribute album and its follow up collection rekindled a massive interest in his work after a younger generation of artists covered his songs.

The show tonight features many of those involved in Generation Goldman, with a bill including Nolwenn Leroy, M Pokora, Vianney, Christophe Willem and Garou amongst many others.

Ahead of the show, some of its stars have recorded a version of Goldman's Au bout de mes rêves, a track from Goldman's 1982 self-titled album album.

Tal: Pas Toi

A new clip for Tal with the song Pas Toi, which looks likely to give her another hit before 2013 is over.

The song features on the Génération Goldman volume 2 CD, released in August this year. It is the third single to be released from the collection.

The original featured on Goldman's 1985 Non Homologué collection.

The previous Génération Goldman collection, released in 2012, was a massive commercial success in France, with the song Envole-moi, a duet between Tal and M Pokora a hit single

Tal's recent album A l'infini which originally came out in September has just been re-issued, it reached number three in the French charts and will probably sell a few more copies following the release of this single too.

 Her profile's been particularly high in France this year, with an appearance as a contestant in season 4 of reality show Danse avec les Stars which was eventually won by Alizée in November.

Meanwhile, she also won the prize for best female Francophone artist of the year at the 15th NRJ Awards, having won the Francophone breakthrough award last year.
