F.R. David
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
F.R. David (originally Eli Robert Fitoussi) (born January 1, 1947, in Menzel Bourguiba, in Tunisia) is a Tunisian-born French singer. His personal "trademarks" are his sunglasses and his guitar (a white Fender Stratocaster). Many of us think of F.R. David when we hear his smash hit "Words" (1982), which sold 8 million records across the world, topped charts around Europe in late 1982 and hit No. 2 in Britain in spring 1983.
The song's eventual UK success was caused by its exposure on BBC TV's Top Of The Pops. The disc was featured on the first edition of a special Euro-slot incorporated in the program. The song was a catchy, slightly plaintive mid-tempo ballad sung in a slender, high-pitched voice.
