In "Rythme éclectique" there is a unique story to share about the track "Pour Toi / Dime (Feelings)." It's about its history and how the derivative hit song "Feelings" evolved.

The original song "Pour Toi" was written by Louis Gasté in 1956 for a French film. Louis (Loulou was his nickname) Gasté was the husband of singer Line Renaud. (He had discovered her when she was very young and made her a star.) Loulou already had many French hits to his credit when he wrote "Pour Toi."

When Loulou Gasté died in January 1995, the New York Times included the following in his obituary:
"In 1956, Mr. Gasté wrote "Pour Toi" ("For You") with his wife, the singer and actress Line Renaud. It had no particular success, but in 1975 Morris Albert adapted it as "Feelings" and it became a pop staple. Mr. Gaste sued Mr. Albert and won $500,000 in damages in 1987."

When "Feelings" became a huge international hit for Morris Albert in 1975-76, Loulou Gasté heard it and recognized it as too similar to his song "Pour Toi" to be coincidental and began a quest to seek the truth about its origins.

His lawyers traced a business connection between Morris Albert, a Brazilian songwriter-musician, and a movie distributor in Brazil who had distributed the French film that "Pour Toi" was used in: "Le Feu aux Poudres" (1957).

He had experts analyze the chord progressions from the two songs and found there were solid grounds to file a suit against Morris Albert for plagiarism. As the above quote shows, he won the case.

Don Sheppard and his music director, Khris Dodge, have created a unique version which includes both treatments of the song. i.e. the original French version with the original French lyrics, followed by the Morris Albert adaptation that became so popular as "Feelings." Don segues from the French version into the Spanish adaptation of "Feelings", whose lyrics (by Tomás Fundora) mirror the English lyrics written by Morris Albert.
