Title : Pagny by Florent - Florent Pagny - book
Summary :
“Suddenly something happens. Something breaks. A slight slough in my throat. A membrane that tears and lets the light through, a flow, a flow of emotion, a new, full sound, of a brilliant color. I would say that I was born a second time that day. I am so happy! I am eleven years old and now I know what my life will be. Singing.” Florent, born in 1961 into a modest family in Burgundy, became Pagny, the singer with fifteen million records sold. How? His success owes as much to his talent as a singer as to the extraordinary way in which he reinvented himself, life after life. On the eve of his sixtieth birthday, Florent wanted to write this book and almost didn't, so arduous was the task for this artist, as sensitive as he was powerful. "Was it all relatable? Bringing back to life my youthful loves, the crazy years, that would be easy. But the disappointments, the betrayals? If I told them, I wasn't going to do it halfway." However, it's too late to give up once the memory machine has started working. Pagny is finally told by Florent, who forgets nothing of his past as a hyperactive child, his childhood dreams, the slaps and the tears, the very highs and the very lows, the passionate loves and friendships, Vanessa Paradis, Johnny, Coluche, Philippe Starck... and his magical encounter with Azucena, the woman of his life, his double, from whom he has been inseparable for thirty years. Written with Emmanuelle Cosso, writer, lyricist and long-time friend of the singer, this work reads like a novel, in which everyone will find a little of themselves through the soundtrack of a major artist of French song.
