The Dutchman born Wouter Otto Levenbach is better known as famous-in-France crooner Dave, and that simple alias is reflective of his utilitarian, mass-appeal approach to pop. His string of name-making singles in the '70s hit the sweet spot between bubblegum glam and TV talk-show glitz, swaddling his rich, sonorous voice and romantic sentiments in lush, exuberant orchestration. Dave's signature songs—which include smooth francophone makeovers of Elvis and Del Shannon classics—serve as a time-warp portal to a simpler, more innocent era.
