More than one generation has grown up listening to the songs of Joe Dassin, not only in his homeland, France, but throughout the world. His glory is truly nationwide. Today, thirty years after the death of the great singer, his songs are still on the charts of leading radio stations. “Champs Elysees”, “If it weren’t for you”, “On a bicycle in Paris” - once you hear these songs, melancholy and depression disappear, as if by magic. The most talented people are lovers. Joe Dassin was in love with a girl named Dorothy. For her birthday, she received a gift that only a very talented person can give to her beloved - stories in which joy is seasoned with light sadness, irony with light sadness. But the main thing is that they were light. The same lightness that will later become the “calling card” of the famous musician. We hope this book will be an excellent gift for you, dear readers, and for those you love.
