Michel Louvain - Besame Mucho
From Album: "Michel Louvain ~ Romantique(1989)".
Michel Louvain (born Michel Poulin on July 12, 1937 in Thetford Mines, Quebec) is a French Canadian singer most popular in the 60s and 70s among women. His first hit, "Buenas Noches Mi Amor", launched his career, and his biggest hits include "La Dame en Bleu" and "Je Déclare l'Amour au Monde Entier". He has also worked as a host for a varieties of shows on television and radio.
In the next 20 years, thanks to his numerous recordings and to his work as host for a succession of CFTM-TV (Montreal) and Radio-Canada TV variety shows, Louvain was one of the reigning matinee idols of Quebec; his success was compared with that of Elvis Presley. His performances attracted mostly young female fans. He first performed in nightclubs, and, when his following grew more mature, in entertainment theaters. In the 1980s, he staged grandiose music-hall shows, with female dancers and scenery, at the Place des Arts and across Quebec, including 'Autour du monde' in 1984.
Today he still tours Quebec, having played 2 sold-out shows at the Bell Centre in Montreal, May 31st and June 1 2008. He will tour through 2009.

Nice post! I had to get home to my computer to make head or tail of it because when I tried to open the link to this article in my phone it looked strange.
Hi! I just thought I'd let you know that yours is one of the few web pages that display ok on my Blackberry in Tenerife (NEVER BUY ONE!). So I'll most likely be returning a few times lol
I enjoyed your post and I felt it it to be better from prior entries on your blog.
