Emilie Jolie - Ça Fait Pleurer Le Bon Dieu - Quand Je Joue - Le Patineur

Released in 1980 on the Pathé label, this 45-rpm single features selections from the musical tale Emilie Jolie, originally created by Philippe Chatel. The project began as a concept album in 1979, becoming a cultural phenomenon in France for its whimsical storytelling and the participation of prominent French artists. Julien Clerc, a central figure in the French chanson scene, lent his distinctive vocals to these tracks, contributing to the record's success as a bridge between adult pop music and children's literature.

The production design reflects the soft, illustrative aesthetic of the Emilie Jolie universe, often accompanied by the evocative artwork of Henri Galeron. The record was received as a high-quality contribution to the French musical landscape, lauded for its orchestral arrangements and the emotional depth of the performances. As a catalog piece from the Pathé archive, it represents a moment when mainstream pop stars moved toward conceptual, family-oriented storytelling, cementing its place as a nostalgic staple in Francophone music history.
