Leonard Cohen Joe Dassin Partisan SongTry our new player

May 13, 1970, rare French TV version of the Partisan Song on the Joe Dassin Show, "Arpèges sur Joe Dassin." Joe Dassin was an American French variety singer, son of French cineaste, Jules Dassin, who left America for Europe because he was a communist. The anglophone version of the Partisan Song was by Hy Zaret/Anna Marley, adaptation of a French song from 1943 by "Emmanuel d'Astier de la Vigerie" code named "Bernard." He was a journalist, an important French résistant, and a communist deputee. Thanks to philipchek of Paris and YouTube for helping me transcribe the French and for research about this song,and to Margaret of the UK and Leonard Cohen Forum for sharing this rare clip.
