"I would like to be a radio host like you," Johnny Hallyday told him one day.
A suggestion that pleased Sam Bernett, who then spoke to his management.
"At the time, I was at RTL and the variety manager thought it was a great idea, Johnny and I as a duet on the air, with Johnny singing with the guests," recalls the journalist.
"And so we did a show called 'Sunday Rock'."
"Johnny had his little Stabilos in his hand."
Far from being a star's whim, the radio show thus created is taken very seriously by the rocker. "The show was recorded on Wednesday. We met in a restaurant before," says Sam Bernett. "Johnny had his little Stabilos in his hand." Highlighters in hand and the flow of the show in mind. "This week, we welcome this guest, you, you are going to ask him that. Then afterwards, before singing, I ask him a question about that", thus provided Johnny Hallyday at each meeting to prepare a new program.
"He worked really hard! We did 17 or 18 shows together, all summer, from June to September," explains Sam Bernett. "It was broadcast every Sunday afternoon, as the name 'Sunday Rock' suggests. It's a wonderful memory."
