The Pop Tops (Spanish) may have had the biggest hit version, even though it was written in French, whilst stuck in a traffic jam, by Hubert Giraud.
To me it was her gutsy voice that made a huge impact I got in soooo much trouble playing this late one night at CFMS-FM. The phones rang off the wall… about the 20th caller was the owner of the radio station. Ooops! Not quite on the approved playlist!
In French originally!

if you insist on having it in English:
This chardonnay from the Margaret River of Western Australia is right up our alley.
It paired wonderfully with a lightly garlic’d chicken stir fry with German egg noodles (instead of traditional Italian spaghetti), because no particular flavour dominated either the wine or the dinner.
The wine has a lovely balance to it. A pale gold colour introduces you to a natural acidity and then depth right through to the finish.
Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer kept us entertained.
I’m beginning to think that the Goddess of Wine is setting us up for a Chardonnay Taste Test. This is the 5th in the last two mystery cases.

Not quite Aussie ‘medium bodied”, but certainly more so than many BC and California Savignons. Stone fruit aromas open up to spicy tones and then a lush oaky finish. It’s nicely structured.
The wine hails from the Coastal area of Maipo Valley, near the Maipo River – Chile’s prime wine region. Warm days, cool nights and a dry-ish climate. Texture and rounded tannins come from French/American oak barrel aging.
Grilled pork chops, peas, and yummy scalloped potatoes were a great accompaniment.
