the legendary INTENSE performer Jacques Brel, doing his "Jef"

(Live concert 1964, B&W image, Dutch subtitles)

In case people don't know : Jacques Brel was a Belgian singer who sang in French (and also a little in Dutch), had tremendous success in France and French speaking audiences. He wrote unforgettable songs, both music and lyrics, and was a brilliant performer. His most famous song is "Ne me quitte pas", covered in several other languages, like in English as "If you go away" by many artists as Frank Sinatra, etc.

"Jef" is the name of a friend, the song is about friendship.
