Meanwhile all my concerts experiences were my buddies gigs, so I went to see "White Spirit" half a
million times, they were a bi racial band playing all the old Motown shit, Stevie Wonder, Benson, Al
Jarreau with some of the most talented people alive, between Denis Lamarre and Fat Cat, Scott on
bass, Stefen Indjein, Alex, I mean it was like the Mint but on the French Riviera, party up to 10 am!
The other big shot was Dirty Rats Rappers with my beloved late Serge Francastel on guitar, noone
has never been able a better guitarist, not Richie, NOONE. It was some really fun times, we were
all way into the whole Fishbone, 24/7 Spyz, RHCP trip, and they covered a few of their songs added
to their own stuff. They eventually got signed by Warner Chappell and were cutting tracks for the
soon to be released album when Serge died of a brain stroke, literally dropping dead on the sidewalk
on the way back to his car. I was waiting for him at this work and found about it the following day,
It was May the 13th 1991. When someone you love dies, you don't get over it, you learn to live with
the pain.
Rod Steward "Da Ya Think I"m Sexy?' (Gee, you think??)
Sugar Hill Gang "Rappers Delight", I still have the single LOL!
Kiss "I Was Made For Loving You" (Paul Stanley is the first portrait I ever did, then Nikka Costa)
Nikka Costa "On My Own"
Then all the Motown stuff I could get my hands on, Gosh I was like 8 or 9 years old.
I bought lots of black female artists, like Gloria Gaynor, Ami Steward, I loved Chaka
Khan and once I heard Tina Turner and Sade, I was in love. Sade, is just everything
a woman should be : beautiful, sultry, great lyrics, soft and strong just like her voice.
Besides we have the same name. Laure in Latin means "Crowned with glory" so does
Sade so I guess in a way we are a lot alike.....
Pink Floyd "Dark Side Of The Moon" when it first came out."
Nina Hagen "Umbehagen"
AC/DC "Back In Black"in 81, "Powerslave", "Highway To Hell", "If You Want Blood You've Got It"

Then Alan Parson Projects "Turn Of A Friendly Card" and all Doors , then I've got into Genesis,
Dire Straits with "Love Over Gold", Barclay James Harvest.....etc.....
Mickael Jackson 'Thriller'
Madonna "Immaculate Collection'
Steely Dan, Dead Or Alive, Chris Isaak, Anita Baker, Toni Braxton, Alan Parsons, Simply Red,
Terence Trent D'Arby (cuz I wanna bang him silly! JUST KIDDING!), Nine Inch Nails, The Cult,
etc..........I love singing Toni Braxton, Anita Baker and Sade tunes, they are my fav female artists
and the singing flows very easily, well to me....sometimes that song from Gladys Knight and the
Peps "Midnight Train To Georgia" because the backing vocals are amusing....
PS I think Mary J Blige is brilliant too btw.... And good looking....
