One of Serge Lama's biggest hits found the Frenchman bragging in a robust baritone that he was nothing less than a “Superman” of love. And given his track record as a pop star capable of sending audiences into a frenzy with the slightest rise of an eyebrow, this was no idle boast. Hailing from an operatic background that fully informed his sense of melodrama and theatrical timing, Lama brought romantic intensity to '60s chanson. Blending the severity of Jacques Brel (Lama's major influence) with a sometimes bawdy sense of humor, he delivers every line with charm and an old-fashioned grace.
