Israeli singer Mike Brant introduced his riveting charm and powerhouse vocals to France in the '70s. The renowned “Laisse moi t'aimer”, released in 1970, has all the pomp and spirit of late '60s pop, with his bold, passionate voice hitting exuberant highs and sombre lows. The piano-driven "Viens ce soir", from the album 74, adds a powerfully grave tone with a gospel-style choir backing his nostalgic, contemplative lyrics. His brief career left behind music that was quickly deemed iconic, and has been sampled by a host of rappers, including Eminem, J-Live and Havoc.
