Born Jean Philippe Smet on June 15, 1943 in Paris, he was an immediate sensation when his 1959 Hello Johnny debut had him rocking out in French (He would go on to have 18 platinum albums.) Although he first came to the attention of stateside television audiences when he performed with Connie Francis on The Ed Sullivan Show in 1962, he never really took off in America. Yet his concerts abroad became major events and he seemed to get stronger onstage as the years rolled by. His peak came with the 2000 100% Johnny concert (the French Woodstock) with a live audience at The Eiffel Tower estimated at 500,000 and another 9.5 million watching on live television.
A DVD of Johnny Hallyday Live At Montreux 1988 will be available as an import on June 3rd.
