Cette musique est absolument merveilleux

I imagine it's difficult to explain the JOHNNY HALLYDAY phenomenon to the English-speaking uninitiated, but here goes:
Imagine A FRENCH ELVIS PRESLEY SINGING CHUCK BERRY SONGS.
In short, it might just be the COOLEST MUSIC ever created by human beings.
At least, that's what I thought today as I listened to the early '60s albums "HELLO JOHNNY" and "LES ROCKS LES PLUS TERRIBLES" while completing some chores around the house.
Cleaning the toilet is never fun, but doing so while Hallyday belts out "Souvenirs, Souvenirs" or "Johnny Reviens" almost makes it halfway pleasant.
That should be recommendation enough for you to find some early Hallyday tunes and listen to them right away.
