On this Christmas Eve, let’s have a little fun… Could you detect, behind the refrains you hum every day, the original authors or performers? Before the Fugees, who sang “Killing me softly”? Before UB40, who created “Kingston Town”? And before Elvis Presley, who performed “Hound Dog”? Marc Maret is a passionate archivist whose hobby is unearthing initial versions of world pop music classics. He presents, published by Hors Collection, a very entertaining work bringing together 100 historical compositions that became hits long after their creation.
