He he! My mon had that one on vinyl. She got the Olympia 79 album for her birthday, but later it disappeared somehow.

And then, as an adult, I could remember fragments of it. Something with a rose on the cover, and a guy singing "marmalade" in french. (Lot's of false results with "Lady Marmalade")

It took me quite a while to track down.

Gérard Lenorman - Et Moi Je Chante 1979

Here's another one that haunted my childhood:

All I could remember about it was "something with guitar and recorder". The song was used as the theme for a nature program on danish television.

Cy, Maia & Robert - Chickens Are A Crowing 1965

It's very satisfactory when you finally find those half forgotten earworms, don't you think?

I'm fascinated by his sweater. Such a very 70's thing to wear on a scene. Deliberately unglamorous and "down with it". (or trying to be)

He was hurt badly in an accident and never really
recovered to the big stages.

Speaking of the anti-glamorous 70s; Harpo isn't wearing shoes!

We watched a very popular, and usually very entertaining, TV quiz after dinner tonight. It combines questions about geography and music. The singer of Sahara Hotnights covered this great song... here is the original.
