Canadian Music Flashback: Roch Voisine "I’ll Always Be There"
Acadian-Québécois singer-songwriter, Roch Voisine, has enjoyed great success in both the English and French-Canadian music markets. Having grown up in Montreal, I feel kind of lucky to have benefited from hearing music in both of our official languages. I also watched Roch on Television Quatres Saisons where he hosted the teen-geared variety show Top Jeunesse (1998) and also starred in the 1989 hockey drama Lance et compte (He Shoots, He Scores). He has also won the 1994 Juno Award for “Male Vocalist of the Year” and was made an Officer of the Order of Canada in 1997.
His career really took off when he released the album Hélène (1990), which sold three million copies in Quebec, France, Belgium and Switzerland. I first really took notice of him, though, in 1993 when he released “I Will Always Be There.” I’m putting up the video for that and my favorite French-language single of his, a cover of “Comme J’ai Toujours Envie d’Aimer.”
