Nikos Aliagas was right, by opening the evening with a tribute to Grégory Lemarchal, to claim that, nearly ten years after the death of the young singer revealed by the Star Academy, taken 23 years ago on April 30, 2007 by the cf, “star shines with the same intensity“. in Ten years after, the story continues, rightly recalled the event, organized on the stage of the Zenith of Paris on Saturday 7 January and broadcasted on TF1, which has launched a major appeal for donations for the construction of a House Grégory Lemarchal in order to improve the lives of patients – some of whom were present in the audience.
one of The new chapters of this story far from over, and it is the revelation of a new song of Grégory Lemarchal, who left about forty texts before we leave. This one, entitled better love, has been set to music by Christophe Beucher. “This is the last title I had to listen to Gregory in the hospital. He immediately acceded to the melody and wanted to record it. But it has unfortunately not had the time,” explained Olivier Ottin, who was his manager, in the journal Le Parisien.
To interpret it, Peter and Laurence Lemarchal chose Patrick Fiori, the godfather of the Association Grégory Lemarchal, who was like the big brother of Greg before, during, and after the Star Academy : “The term suits me, commented on the singer in the columns of the in Paris. I loved it, this boy, ( … ), And then he asked me one day if it is a good idea to do the Star Ac. I tell him : ‘Fonce and if you win, it is well’. Since the beginning, it is sick, but he never told me. And he never complain.” Accompanied at the piano by Yvan Cassar, who has signed the agreements and has “kept the original piano, added guitar, violins” Patrick Fiori gives birth to the legacy of Greg in a religious silence, and the emotion palpable. The melodic phrases agile and the soaring voice of better love, recall the virtuosity of Gregory – you’d almost hear it… “Believe me, it is n ot easy to sing like him“, pointed out a few minutes earlier, upset in referring to this text that it has in legacy, the lead singer of corsican origin.
Greg fell in love with this song
at the end of the interpretation, Peter and Laurence Lemarchal join Patrick Fiori and Nikos stage : “For us, it is an important moment that just happened, said the father of the deceased artist. This song, To better to love, it was written by Greg. He heard the music on his hospital bed, hospital Foch, nothing will be hide. He fell in love with this song, this melody, this melody on these words. We could only sing with Patrick on this song, it is we who wanted it. The must-have, we asked Barry, who was actually the first album of Gregory, we do the arrangement of this song, and the story is very, very beautiful. Thank you friends.”
The song better love was available as a download at the end of the show. At this time, more than 2 million euros of donations that had already been harvested in order to build a House of Grégory Lemarchal.
This is again to Patrick Fiori that returned the honor to sing to end this wonderful evening in interpreting The Link, a title that he co-authored with Julie Zénatti for Grégory Lemarchal, from his album posthumous The voice of an angel.
