Did you know that Michel Blanc also recorded 45 rpm in the 80s, a song that even made the Top 50 at the time? But it is Michel Blanc Therefore, that we are talking about “Le Mec Plus Ultra”, its title should be taken at face value and completely tasteful! This was a year after Marche à l’ombre, a song by Gérard Presgurwich and Patrick Michel, and that was it – and that made him the only one of the Splendid group to do it!

Finally, the more ultra-boyish is another of his characters, introduced in the text at the time (via Le Figaro) as “The Dean Martin of the diner, the Sinatra of the tobacco bar“: That says a lot. He even performed the song on TV and INA apparently preserved the performance for posterity.

For the cover of the record – the reflection of an actor in a mirror with a flute of champagne in hand – we are in the film Nuit d’ivresse (1986), adapted from the play created by Jossian Balasco. Michel Blanc in the previous year of the same name.

Michel Blanc As a heartthrob, it goes like this: It’s retro, kitsch, and cult as hell, and this man misses it terribly.
