But what has contributed the most to the popularity of Jean-Jacques Goldman is his contribution to The bastards .

Through this noble cause, but also thanks to his particular personality, Jean-Jacques Goldman was elected several times as the favorite personality of the French.
Despite his complicated relationship with his son, Jean-Jacques Goldman is behind the success many other artists. He writes them songs, offers them a melody and, in part, made them who they are today. He also remains as close as possible to his admirers via his publications on Twitter which cause many interactions.
The story takes place when Jean-Jacques Goldman is still young. From high school, he wanted to break into the world of French music and founded various groups. His preference was rock , even if it opens up to other horizons now.
At the time, he founded 'The Phalansters', a group relatively popular among the youth of yesteryear. Moreover, the latter managed to land several performances. It was precisely during one of them that the morbid story took place. Jean Bender, the childhood friend of Jean-Jacques Goldman, tells in a few lines of his book entitled 'It will suffice of a sign'.

The group had to play in a building very popular with the public. But because of, or thanks to a busy schedule , they could not honor their commitment. Another troop took their place. While the evening was going well, an in fire broke out in the building.
According to the details mentioned by Jean Bender: 'Their agenda overload saved their lives: on November 1, 1970, 146 young people died in the fire at 5-7, a nightclub near Grenoble. Phalansters (Jean-Jacques Goldman's rock band) had been replaced at the last moment”.
Like any other empathic human being, the tragic accident has deeply touched the artist with timeless success. However, that did not stop him from continuing his route .
Even if Jean Bender does not evoke the feelings of Jean-Jacques Goldman on the story, everyone can guess it.
Nevertheless, this story gave a boost of energy to the author of “Family”. Perhaps it is in honor of all the deceased. Or his passion for music was stronger than anything.
