Tom Pillibi - Jean Leccia

Jean Hubert Leccia (19 February 1938 – 10 January 2023), known in the United States as Jean Lexia, was a French composer, conductor, singer, and pianist. Leccia was active in various musical genres, such as pop, jazz, ballet, electronic, and classical. He collaborated with many artists, including Charles Aznavour, Édith Piaf, Charles Trenet, and Line Renaud. He was also the composer of several film scores and television series, such as the soap opera Les Saintes Chéries

This EP features his version of 'Tom Pillibi'. It's yet another cover version of the winning song from the Eurovision Song Contest in 1960. There's also a cover version of 'Ce soir la', the entry from Monaco that same year.
