Le Lundi Au Soleil

 In 1973, even though he was very busy with his new functions at the head of Podium newspaper, Claude François didn't forget that he was, first and foremost, a singer. And when he heard his fans humming a Patrick Juvet song in the summer of 1972 in Cannes, Claude François asked Juvet to compose a song: "Le lundi au soleil" (Monday in the Sun). Claude François was captivated by the melody and immediately decided to keep it. Jean-Michel and Thomas Rivat wrote the words in 48 hours, inspired by the English expression "Blue Monday", describing the mindset of workers back from the weekend. At once the song spoke to all those who had to work Monday morning in bright sunshine
