Discorama, signé Glaser
Discorama, signé Glaser
Throughout the 60s, millions of Frenchmen gathered with their families to watch Denise Glaser’s TV show, Discorama, just before the traditional Sunday dinner. A variety show that ran for a record 15 years — two presidential terms of office! The greats of French song were among its regular guests: Piaf, Aznavour, Gréco, Brel, Brassens, Ferré... Newcomers such as Georges Moustaki, Maxime Le Forestier, Françoise Hardy, Eddy Mitchell, Michel Polnareff made their first appearances there... Discorama was the brainstorm of its producer, Denise Glaser, who scouted the cabarets and nightclubs for new talents. Thanks to her, Barbara, discovered at the Écluse, made her TV debut on Feb. 4, 1959, to be followed a few months later by Serge Gainsbourg. They became famous and came back regularly to chat with Denise Glaser. Looking back at Discorama is a unique opportunity to evoke musical culture in France from 1959 to 1974, through a personality deeply involved in the artistic life of her time.
