Johnny Hallyday Covers Elvis Presley

Johnny Hallyday Covers Elvis Presley

Johnny Hallyday may have been hailed as France's answer to Elvis Presley in the ‘60s, but the differences between the two became more pronounced whenever the former reinterpreted the latter. In Hallyday's hands, the swooning “Love Me Tender” transforms into the slinky, brass-buttered soul number “Amour d'été”, while on “J'suis mordu”, he injects the early Elvis rave-up “I Got Stung” with the sort of flamboyance that anticipated glam rock.
