In the '80s, Belgian-Italian Claude Barzotti was never far from the top of the charts in Francophone countries who couldn't get enough of his traditional love songs and powerful voice. Barzotti became a household name with “Madâme” and “Le Rital”—tracks which showcased his strong, urgent vocal alongside layered harmonies and an understated yet insistent beat. His impassioned delivery remains popular decades later thanks to nostalgia for simpler times—and of course due to the enduring nature of good songwriting.
