60's French Pop

[cover821]

[SydneyHowells]

don't the Exciters also play this song?

[beabalanced]

C'EST BON!! 

[xanjak]

This Les Gam's song has been in my head all week. Lady Gaga could learn a lot.

[tinasaturn]

@Inoitspointless

Quand cette chanson (son interprétation en français) est sortie en France, on ne se souciait pas de savoir la couleur ou la religion de son auteur...

[bluecatky]

This is pretty catchy. Does anyone know anything about the singers or the name of the song?

[tinasaturn]

@bluecatky

The singers were called "" les gam's"" in the beginning of 60' but they 've not sung for a long time

this song is : " il a le truc"" he got the thing...(for i do all he wants..

[turbo1964]

French cover of The Exciters "He's got the Power."

[touretteman]

Fantastique! No drum and bass then was there

If you want to see something funnier, more innocent, sweeter and possibly the best video on youtube with great dancing go to: johhny burnette "Train kept a Rollin" - you won't regret it

[ZandraBson]

what is the name of this song?

[pedrocorreia2]

j'aime bien la photo de Françoise Hardy au fond =]

[AmandaTHS]

[nuttee3]

They rocked it out!

[pheet]

these girls are some hot"FrenchFries" LOL

[vikinglustmachine]

hes got the powerrrrr the poweeeerr of love over me

[marrrrrrks]

I like the description, funny

[andbethu]

Great sixties, and the girls were all so slim...good looking. No fast food/junk food then! remember Sylvie Vartan, Françoise Hardy, France Gall, Michele Torr etc.

If a girl was slightly rounded around the waist she was called "un petit boudin" (little pudding). Today they are so much bigger, wider...fatter!

Let's bring back the sixties!

[y0utubemetube]

I like to hear this song sung in greek.that will be funny!

[KoivuTheHab]

Well who wouldn't! Who is singing?...

[TheParadoxes]

@KoivuTheHab It was the french version of The Exciters' song (He's Got The Power). This french title was "Il a le truc" and was recorded by Les Gam's.

[SenhordoBonfim]

@TheParadoxes thanks for the info on that song!

[sushiglomper]

great diddy! I too would kick it with them!

[octopusmime]

i have this song on a comp of French Canadian girl groups. it has no record label.

[ohemgeegee]

Sounds like a French cover of The Exciters- Its so exciting

[fallenleaf25]

Wish I knew how to speak French so I could understand them.

Anyway, still a good example of the 60's Pop sound.

[broasca]

All I got was "he's playing with my heart":)

[alexyoshi]

song is french version of "he's got the power" by the exciters.

[ohemgeegee]

oh, no This is what I meant

[scarredbanner]

I think I heard this song from a Roger Louret video, like Les Annees Twist. It's in Youtube somewhere. :)

[vitunhippi666]

syökää patonkia, paskat..

[nadinkoroleva]

ohh can't find the song ///

[7855waldo]

Les Garlic Supremes.

[amarcord80]

That's Les Gams and the song is "Il a le truc"...

[KaiSaeed]

lol funny

[SixiemeLegion]

Super et un grand merci

[Drewkuskilz]

Yup, id love to be with these girls. Very cute things.

[ny8080]

Great song and cute singers! French is such a beautiful language.

[JAGADEY]

freedom fries ? is that that george bush nonsense from years ago ?

[PattyWhomperOFFICIAL]

@JAGADEY the best part is they are called french fries because "to french" is to cut food real skinny. so really he's against skinny cut food. 0.o

[ny8080]

Sorry I don't eat french fries, not due to the political garbage, but don't care for the taste & they aren't the healthiest thing for you. Too bad you obviously think every American supported that euphemism of 03 which was created by some conservatives. If the majority of the country thought like that, Obama would not be in office. Pretty ignorant comment, but people love to twist everything around on here to politics and/or make stupid comments like that. Im sure you cant help yourself.

[ny8080]

Oh, one more thing wimpie25 (good name choice btw). I am surprised you didn't mention that french fries aren't even french! Or did you not know? I see you're from Belgium. Youd be surprised where they originated!!! Why don't you break out a dictionary or google it. :-) Have fun.

[wimpie25]

I know they aren't frenc, but I'm not the kind of freak that replies with comments longer than the average newspaper article.

Jezus, get a life.

[ny8080]

No, youre the kinda "freak" that has to take a simple response (that isnt directed at you & isn't political) and make stupid, uneducated remarks just because i'm an American who enjoyed a Frence song. Take your own advice and get a life and don't take things to a political level and then whine when someone puts you in your place. Youre such a moron, do the world a favor and grow up.

[hanfordbombshell]

Was this song the original? Or is this a French cover version of The Exciters' classic "He's Got The Power"?

Either way, it's a great song!

[torabora]

exciters' original; Les Gem's covered it only a couple of months later...actually a lot of songs were covered there in france back then...too many..

[sussussussus]

That was so cute and I want their dresses!

[ajustin672]

Tres Bien!

[fersfangoria]

[Khultan]

Damn! Nice!

[makethetransition00]

azzez cool!!! j'aime! (very cool, i like)

for the francophones there, sorry if my francais is horrible-lol

[NejiSupreme]

Ton francais n'est pas mauvais! C'est tres bien! As-tu un classe de francais dans ton ecole? Ou fais-tu parler francais avec ton copain n'avec pas un classe de francais?

[cheesetoochalk]

Your French is not very bad! It is very good did u speak french in your school? Where did u speak French with your(don't know copain) didn't with a french class (??? messed up last part)?

Haven't read french in a while wow had a brain fry remembering that.

[superflam59]

Oui excellente chanson des années 60', il y a aussi celle de Demis Rousssos, It's five o'clock

Thierry

[callasexperience]

I Grew up having to listen to that crap, But then in the late 60's I bought MC5 kick out th Jam I was 15....

[reptilicus]

I'm so ignorant in French. What is she singing?

So captivating.

[maellekylian]

He's got the power of love ,singing by the exciters

[reptilicus]

Bonjour, Maellekylian. How are things in France?

[reptilicus]

I would sincerely like to learn French after this song.

[lqrgiant]

the original is called 'he's got the power' by the exciters. this is a pretty decent version considering it's a bunch of cheese eating frogs.

[kim1971]

Yes, cheese eaters, and proud to be slender and not a nation of obese.

[zynomo]

The Sixties were so cool - each time you see it you notice in what kind of trash we are living now.

[Socksthevilkitten]

@zynomo yup, some day us and our children will be living in a landfill, and we'll be so obsessed with paper that we'll have no trees to live and breath with. when i'm older i'm moving somewhere with little civilization, somewhere full of trees, new york is pretty much what the future will be, nothing but building, and smokey air!!!!!!!

[deaddoc]

@zynomo Yes, I've watched the fixxle increase decades since then. But it got the spring start from there, because we let everything go. Too much for humanity to cope with.....

[blacflag]

Les Gam's - 1963 - 'Il a le truc'

[blacflag]

If you search group name and title you'll find a French website offering high quality downlaods of this performance and another one of the same song. It costs a few euros, i signed up but my French isn't great and every time i tried to checkout i couldn't get there, probably pressing wrong button. If anyone works it out let me know.

[airolo57]

1963

[WhyKarnaWhy]

O la la!

[samuelskadkaer]

Ils ont "the power"!!!! Ils sont trop belles!!!

[mtwallet]

superbe reprise des Exciters "He's Got The Power" par les choristes de Gilbert Bécaud, les Gam's

[FarscapeGirl]

sorry it's actually "Il a le truc"

[FarscapeGirl]

There is a bunch of writing just before they start singing it looks like "les gam's" "il a le iruc" maybe that's the group and song title.

[tylerglenn]

i do wish i could find out the name of the group and song - its pretty cool.

[bdate]

what's this called??

[jnauya1]

Just a video of girls having good, clean, silly, fun. I just like weird stuff.

[hcarducci]

Pretty good though!

[vedraville]

@jnauya1 Why weird?I think they're marvellous,really entertaining! :)

[purplehaze2250]
