Sacha Distel is amongst France’s biggest cultural exports—and for good reason. The late, legendary, oft-honoured crooner and guitar virtuoso was propelled into worldwide stardom due to lively renditions of famous standards (“Toute la pluie tombe sur moi”, “Scoubidou”, “Le soleil de ma vie”) and the American jazz sensibilities he brought to Europe. He later carved a space for himself on television and on the silver screen, thereby forever cementing his reputation as a true-blue superstar.
