Music Summer Song Icon Georgie Dann Dies During Hip Surgery
Biographies Georgie Dann, 80 years without knowing "what the Negro wants" and threatened by political correctness
Culture The barbecue, The chiringuito and other songs of the summer by Georgie Dann
The Spanish summer would have had a different tinge if it weren't for Georgie Dann (Georges Mayer Dehan) rhythms like "Mommy, the black man is mad, he wants to dance with me ...".
Unfortunately, the Parisian artist who
He died
this Wednesday, November 3, in Madrid at the age of 81
. Gone are
La barbecue
and
El chiringuito
, those songs that so many leaps made to give to a whole generation.
Before he achieved stardom, Georgie married in 1974 the Catalan Emilia García, whom they affectionately call Emy. At that time, the woman
worked as a go-go in the nightclubs of Barcelona
in the sixties, such as Planeta 2001 and Lord Black, but she ended up leaving it because her profession began to be confused with the oldest profession in the world. Soon after, she
started as a dancer with Georgie
and they fell in love. She ended up being
her husband's
road manager
. Always in a discreet background, oblivious to the flashes and also aware
of the couple's three children
.
At the end of 2008, two of its offspring, Patricia (voice and lyrics) and Paul (guitar and music) formed the
pop-rock duo Calle París
, with which they released their first album,
Secret Words
. The single
I'll wait for you
sounded on all the country's radio stations and they won the Best New Artist award at the Top 40 Gala in 2009. The two brothers secretly composed because
they didn't want their father's fame to eclipse
them and close doors for them. Therefore, when they became known, the surprise of his father was capital. He supported them in everything. After wandering around different cities, in 2012, they released their second and last work,
Huracán
.
As new technologies evolved,
Paul saw a niche market
to commercialize music and further unite musicians and fans.
For this reason, in 2015 he founded the start-up
Netstage
, which through its platform allowed artists and the public to interact live.
The Dvicio group was the first to try this experience.
Great worker
In the privacy of his Madrid home,
Georgie Dann did not sing; he just whistled
. From time to time, he also served as kitchens because, according to his wife, he made finger-lickin 'garlic and parsley omelets. In his spare time, to ease the stress of touring and the time invested in songwriting, the singer would relax in his garden where he enjoyed picking lettuce, tomatoes, cucumbers and oranges.
Unlike other colleagues,
Dann had no kinks
.
He was the same cheerful and talkative guy who appeared on stage or on television with his eternal smile.
He was also
tremendously hard-working
, constant and with fixed ideas that he had to fulfill at any cost.
He always tried to be the best or, at least, to be among the first, as happened during his youth, when he played soccer or did swimming.
His famous sequin blazers were from the Catalan designer Josep Trullàs, who
gave them to him in exchange for advertising
at his shows.
These iconic pieces are still stored in one of the dressing rooms of his house.
