 REPOST and ADD ON:  2 & 3 of 10 Cover Shot Beauties for A Little Bit Of Everything Musicwise:

Per Discogs:  Real Name: Franck Marius Louis Pourcel

Profile:

French composer, arranger and conductor of popular and classical music born august 11, 1913 in Marseille and died on November 12, 2000 (Parkinson's disease) in Neuilly-sur-Seine. He immigrated to the U.S.A. in 1950. In 1959, his version of "Only You" sold over a million copies. He recorded until 1995.  

From an album cover I wrote last time:  It would be impossible to hang a generation tag on Franck Pourcel, for the music which he arranges and conducts radiates the same youth, the same now, the same zing as the sports cars that are Franck's spare-time hobby.  Pourcel, who has quietly and without personal publicity stunts, sold nearly 20,000,000 records, has once and for all exploded the myth that young people don't care about good music.  Wrapped in a package of contemporary feeling and tied with ribbons of fantastic musicianship, Pourcel's albums have one after another connected soundly with the Now Generation.  Pourcel's striking arrangements not only appeal to their ears, but constantly surprise those ears with new kinds of sounds, with highs and lows from which they've been sheltered by more conservative arrangers. Plays a cool version of the 'POP CORN' tune written originally in 1969 by Gershon Kingsley then covered by a New Wave band Hot Butter and made famous in the eighties.
