French singer Claude François, aka Cloclo, is known in Japan mostly for his song "Comme d'habitude" that became the "My Way" hit everyone knows. Produced by Saeki Kenzō (Pearl Brothers), this tribute album features artists such as YMCK, Elektel, Pecombo, Budō Grape, Les Cappuccino and more.
Claude François died tragically in 1978, days before the release of to-be-hit disco single "Alexandrie Alexandra", when attempting to change a light bulb while standing in his bathtub(!). His melodies, ranging from chanson to disco, remain loved to this day throughout the world, as shows this unique tribute album.
This is also being released in France by FGL music.

You may want to edit it into the entry, it's pretty cool.
