Wonderful! I would never have gotten into comic books if not for Herge. I grew up reading my mother's Tintin books, which she obtained while she was growing up in Indonesia!
@@TaylorZanderFrancis Actually, there were several more interviews done during and after Picaros. It's not like Hergé was ONLY interviewed whenever a new Tintin book came out. He had been a celebrity in the world of comics for several decades at this point, so there were of course tons of interviews, TV appearances, etc. over the years. One especially illuminating, later interview was done with Benoît Peeters in late 1982, only a few months before Hergé passed away. It was published in Peeters' 1983 book "Le monde d'Hergé".
This man brought joy to millions and millions generation after generation. Thank you for giving my childhood and even adult life some needed joy and guidance.
@@namitasarkar3501 The interviewer also talks about Calculus as Tournesol when asking Hergé about the gallery of characters. I suspect Hergé knew he had a different name in English, as he had quite a bit of contact with his British translators.
@@Mesterius1 Sorry I didn't notice it. 😅😅 Btw, I literally forgot almost everything about Tintin because I'm recently on a different topic and I was doing research on superheroes from Marvel and DC and and was reading lots of novels throughout the world. I was reading an article with concentration only to be get disturbed. Anyway, I already said that "a nearly year old comment" I never said " a year old comment" because I knew it is only 11 months old.
What we DO have of it was wonderful. It gives a great view of how he worked, which was a very interesting way of writing. He seemed to write a starting point, sometimes an ending point, then making it up as he went along.
This song has nothing at all to do with the BONEY M song JOSEPHINE BAKER with fantastic Madelaine Davis. This song, produced by Donavon Nelson,was the idea of the composer Ky Wolfe asa memoriam song for his friend BOBBY FARRELL, who was a outstanding dancer like Josephine was.
Thanks for your comment and information. I didn't mention the 1989 song per se in my original upload, though other commenters have referred to it. However, I think I'm right in saying that the two songs are connected because all of Bobby's vocals in the 2011 song are sampled from the 1989 song? Also the (official?) video for the 2011 song on Donavon Nelson's own RU-vid channel incorporates quite a lot of footage from the 1989 music video.
Why you use the audio from the concert in Bulgaria where Olga had problems with her voice? You could choose the live vocals from Dance Machine concert in 1995.
Thanks for your comment. The simple answer is that I edited this video more than two years ago and I wasn't aware of the 1995 video then. That Dance Machine show is a nice example of Olga singing live in the 1990s, and I would agree with you that the sound quality is probably better than the audio that I used here. On the other hand, (and I don't want to get into a long debate about this), in my opinion the Dance Machine show was not pure Olga vocals. It sounds like a duet: if I listen carefully, and knowing the sound of the two voices quite well, I can hear Sandy's recording alongside Olga's voice throughout the Dance Machine song.
James Adlam Yeah Sandy was in backing vocals in the concert of Dance Machine but anyway you can hear very well Olga's voice that is more higher than the vocals recorded in the backing track. Honestly i think that the audio of Dance Machine is better, because many people listening this one say that she can't sing and its not true! Thanks to you for your reply!
i love boney M one of the best groups in the world and there were lots of great groups back in the day i love this song the video is great and put together well but there was a much better video RU-vid took it of as they do to most great videos due to copy rights
It is indeed. I have a copy of a programme called "Opening Shot". One of their episodes involved Tintin, and there's some visual material of Hergé speaking in English there, along with snippets of this interview.
This is the only time I've seen Olga backed by a classical orchestra. In my opinion, this is the best vocal performance I've heard her give of this song (Corona's greatest hit, of course). On the other hand, she looks a bit uncomfortable, with slightly artificial expressions and gestures. I wonder why it was necessary to squash the song into two minutes. The verses and chorus follow straight on from each other without any instrumental bits to give the singer a break. Olga seems to enjoy herself a lot more in her touring concerts, where she has more time to ad-lib, dance and interact with the audience.
Besides Snub Pollard and Charles Ray, the other cast members for this scene are (as far as I know): Jerry Mandy (waiter), Richard Cramer (cafe boss?), Bobby Burns (diner), Frank McCarroll (Frank the chef), George Morrell (bum)
