[bombe2277]

de INCAUDA : album peu connu en France dommage on a loupé d'excellent s moments ; la famille SIMARD, un mythe dont on a toujours le plaisir de les entendre ; René , certes, a bercé mon enfance (1973 1974) car sa voix était un pure régal ; Ha ces Canadiens ..... INÉGALABLE .

[DJBAMTOM]

Such a powerful voice for a kid his age

[mikestamlo]

Wow, the kid turned this song out. The way he says 'Noel, Noel'....beautiful!

[SweetSoulIAm]

Vraiment beau René! Ca me rapelle de mon enfance, le chant de l'église - une de mes chansons préférées de Noël.

[mayeyeclinic]

It reminded me when I was 14 years old.Rene came from Cananda to Japan and grabbed many girls' heart. I was one of them. Without studying I listend to to his record thousand of times. But fortunately I became ane eye doctor and still enjoy playing the violin. Maybe next year we play Vivaldi's Gloria with Choir.I hope my 12 year old son could join it, althogh his voice has already changed.

...René était le meilleur... j'en ai des frissons.

Très belle voix d'ange. Accompagnement agréable. Dommage que les images de la vidéo ne soit pas à la hauteur. maloune63

[bethmarywhite]

Wow! What a voice. I remember listening to this song when I was young, also, in Rhode Island.  We cold get some of the Montreal radio stations at night and even then I thought his voice was just beautiful.

[DanGlorious]

He is just an Angel sent from Heaven and with the softest and Most Precious voice and skin. If you are reading this Rene please sing a song for my grand son who is with you in Heaven miss you Baby Ryan

[winsome1235]

The most beautiful song ever written, sung beautifully by a young angel. Superb!

[bergilly2004]

Magnifique!

[maloune63]

Beaucoup de nuance dans cette très jolie voix prometteuse. L'accompagnement est superbe! Beaucoup d'émotion.

[mikestamlo]

Beautiful. I always prefered this traditional english christmas song en francais!

[spgtenor]

Well, this one was originally written in French and then translated into English, but it's a beautiful melody to any language.

[alainlafoudre]

I beg your pardon, but this song is not an english traditional christmas song, but a catholic and french one. The lyrics were written in the 19th's century, around 1843, by Placide Cappeau, a southern France poet, living in Provence, at Roquemaure. And the music is from Adolphe Adam, a french opera and ballets composer. The original name of this christmas carol was Cantique de Noël which latter became Minuit chrétien.

[Mellyissa1607ca]

it was written in french first by the way

[ErableBleu]

Actually, this song was originally written in French -- the English version is a translation!

[bairen2002]

This is the original French version.

Music written in 1847 by Adolphe Adam, who also wrote the music for the ballet Giselle.

Poem by Placide Cappeau.

Translated into English in 1855.
