D'abord, j'ai eu peur





It may be Boxing Day, but it is still the end of the week, and - in my mind, anyhow - party time!

As my regular reader may already know, one of our most beloved camp divas (Gallic style) here at Dolores Delargo Towers is the one-time world-conquering club hostess and singer Régine - a woman for whom the epithet Grande Dame could have been invented.

Today is that formidable lady's 85th birthday, and so to celebrate let's dig out a most appropriate song for this prestigious anniversary, her massive club hit - a cover of the Gloria Gaynor standard, Je survivrai...

Merci ce est vendredi Discothèque!*


Régine Zylberberg (born 26th December 1929)

More Régine here, here, and especially here.

*PS that's "Thank Disco it's Friday" in French. According to Google Translate, anyhow.

  1. That will be "Merci Disco c'est vendredi" :)
    People are actually lobbying for Regine to represent France at the Eurovision Song Contest. Who knows...

  2. Well my friend, we can both cry because this is not going to happen. And I have no idea who "Lisa Angell" is...

    1. I agree, that song is dull - and, bizarrely has already been used as part of the WW1 commemorations so hardly counts as "new", either. Mlle Angell apparently started as a magician's assistant. She'll need some "magic" to get many points with this. Jx
