Johnny Hallyday With The Merry Melody Singers - Shake The Hand Of A Fool
Review by Fabiana Mota
Shake The Hand Of A Fool by Johnny Hallyday with The Merry Melody Singers is a classic album that showcases the French singer's immense talent and range. The album features 12 tracks that are a mix of blues, rock, and country music, all of which are delivered with Hallyday's signature style and energy.
The album opens with the title track, which is a soulful ballad that sets the tone for the rest of the album. The other tracks are equally impressive, with Hallyday's powerful vocals and the Merry Melody Singers' harmonies creating a beautiful blend of sound.
One of the standout tracks on the album is "You're Gonna Cry", a bluesy number that showcases Hallyday's ability to convey emotion through his voice. Another highlight is "I Got A Woman", a rock and roll classic that Hallyday and the Merry Melody Singers deliver with gusto.

Notes
Has 2 stars on either side of the A side title.About Johnny Hallyday With The Merry Melody Singers
Johnny Hallyday (born June 15, 1943 in Paris - died December 5, 2017 in Marnes-la-Coquette, Île-de-France) was a French singer, songwriter, performer and actor. He was married to the french singer from April 12, 1965 until November 4, 1980.
As of November 2011, Johnny Hallyday had sold more than 100 million records, and earned 40 gold records, 22 platinum records, 3 diamond records and 8 Victoires de la Musique (the French equivalent of the Grammy). 28 million spectators have attended his concerts over more than 100 tours in France and Europe. However, like most French singers and musicians, his international career never really took off. Despite some tours abroad in the 1960s and 1970s, and a concert in Las Vegas in 1996, Hallyday is virtually unknown to the public outside the French speaking world.
Hallyday recorded some 1000 songs, including a little more than a hundred self-penned titles and around 250 French adaptations of original songs in English. Especially in the beginning of his career, during the early 1960s, Hallyday built his career mostly on French adaptations of songs by his American idols.

North American audience. The song wasn’t even in English. Nobody knew what he was singing.
2023-04-03
My favourite song of his. Still can’t believe when he played on the Ed Sullivan show he sang a song that was anything but appealing to the North American
