Details: 2011 two CD collection from the Belgian-born Pop icon. Jacques Brel was unique. An eccentric singer/songwriter who railed against the ordinary and the mediocre in his life and in his art, his whole existence was about risk and adventure. His vigorous performance style and provocative subject matter was sometimes characterized as 'violent'; he disagreed. "It's not violence," he said, "it's anger." the source of his anger was the indolence, complacency and ignorance of society. "Stupidity is awful," he said, "it's an evil fairy bewitching the world. Stupidity is idleness. A kind of grease around the heart." Brel recorded almost exclusively in French and sold over 25 million records worldwide. 44 tracks. Metro Select.
