Henri Salvador

Joli Gadjo

Just to let you that Henri Salvador, who sung "Envie de toi" on Bireli's Gypsy Project and Friends, just passed away at 90.

I heard him sing with a group called Pink Martini at the Hollywood Bowl back in November and he was great. Very Charming (even at one point I think dropping some lyrics and chuckling at himself). There was at one time in the show Henri and Carol Channing and the singer from the group onstage singing together. It was a riot actually. They were great fun. It was not a show I had planned on attending, it was a last minute choice but I am so glad we went. And even from thousand feet away or more (the bowl is big), a personal thrill to see live and listen to someone who knew and worked with Django. I can't imagine there are alot of people still with us who did. Rest in Peace, Henri.
