	RFI Musique - - Jacques Brel
		Jacques Romain Georges Brel was born in Belgium, in Schaerbeek, a suburb of Brussels, on April, 8 1929.
		Jacques, whose father was the head of a packaging factory, grew up with his elder brother Pierre in a rather austere family atmosphere where his time was divided between Catholic school and a local Scout troop.
		Brel returned to Brussels twice in the course of 1976 for medical examinations, but, ignoring the doctors' advice he returned to the Marquesas, in spite of the fact that the tropical climate was most unsuitable for his lungs.

		'''Jacques Brel''' (April 8, 1929 – October 9, 1978) was a Belgian French-speaking author-composer with such strong power of expression in his lyrics that many consider him a poet as well.
		Brel was born in Schaerbeek, Belgium, a small city north of Brussels, but lived most of his life in Paris.
		Brel died of lung cancer and was buried in Calvary Cemetery in Atuona, Hiva Oa, Marquesas Islands, French Polynesia only a few yards away from painter Paul Gauguin.

		Brel sang of the passions of youth, the resignation and sadness of old age, the horrors of war, and the everyday absurdities of forging an identity when the spirit cries out to rebel while the society calls out to conform.
		Brel had more than a touch of the poet, and his songs are actually mini short stories.

	Barnes & Noble.com - Artist Bio
		Songwriter Mort Shuman and playwright Eric Blau had translated Brel's lyrics more closely than McKuen, conveying in English the pathos and wit of his story-songs, and the effect was overwhelming -- the revue played nearly 2,000 performances, becoming one of the longest running off-Broadway shows in history.
		Other British Brel fans included David Bowie, who released a version of "Amsterdam" as a B-side single in 1973 while also performing "My Death" in concert, and the Sensational Alex Harvey Band, which titled an album after Brel's song "Next" ("Au Suivant") in 1973.
		In the English-speaking world, his influence is limited by the language barrier and by his musical taste in traditional pop and cabaret, rather than the predominant style of the second half of the century, rock.

		Jacques Brel felt life more intensely than the oh so sensitive children of the 60's that he predated by about a decade.
		Jacques Brel was one of the greatest songwriters of the century, tackling subjects that even Dylan rarely visited.
		It should be noted that that "Sings Jacques Brel" takes all of the covers of Brel tunes from Scott's first three solo albums, and it could be argued the songs are best heard in the context of those excellent albums (weakened only by a few dud covers).

		As of the fall of 2004, the only significant Jacques Brel title in print in the U.S. was Verve Records' 16-track 1988 compilation Master Serie (although, of course, many imports were available to Americans through mail order).
		For the average American listener who knows Brel from "If You Go Away," "Seasons in the Sun," and the musical revue +Jacques Brel Is Alive and Well and Living in Paris, however, the effect of the inclusion of the unreleased songs may have more to do with sequencing than content.
		Of course, Brel's own interpretations of his songs remain definitive, and in these sonically improved recordings he comes across with all his dramatic, compelling power intact.

	Infiniment by Jacques Brel CD
		Brel's best-known tunes are here--"Le Moribond" (known to Americans via Terry Jack's version titled "Seasons in the Sun"), the sweeping "Le Vieux," and the heartwrenching "Ne Me Quitte Pas" (which has been covered by countless English-language artists as "If You Go Away"), just to name a few.
		Throughout, Brel's resonant baritone, ironic wit, and masterful flair for nuanced, theatrical delivery are on abundant display.
		Story-songs in the classic Brel tradition, these are tales of tragic love ("Sans Exigences"), national pride ("Mai 40"), and fanciful visions ("La Cathedrale," in which the narrator imagines sailing the world in a church-turned-ship).

		My favourite Brel song, btw, is his wistful, sardonic tribute to his country: flat, boring Belgium: Le plat pays.
		Brel may be a special case - he wraps his "tunes" around his words - but I think he was, essentially, a musician.
		i've been meaning to listen to jacques brel as I've recently (the first time I heard him was on the day he died, sadly enough) been listening to Jake Thackray who was influenced by brel and brassens.
